If the Lupin suddenly became a Playable Race...

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Would we be ok with them not wearing hats, or would be on the same road we are with Hrothgar and Viera not wearing hats?
Not a troll post, I am legit curious. Thoughts?

If lupin was going to have been playable they would've done it instead of hrothgar probably.

[Doozer]

I wouldn't mind playing a Lupin without a hat. The whole point is their wolf head anyway, right. I don't usually like covering my character's head or face entirely anyway (sometimes I like something covering the eyes only, etc.). If we were able to play as them I don't think I would complain about no hats, but that's just my personal preference.

[Ayuhra]

Preferably they could get hats to work, even a lot of them look funky. Would I still play one? Oh, definitely.

Lupin are way to low poly to ever be a playable race.

They look like a Hyurs with a Halloween mask

World of Warcraft has repeatedly 'elevated' certain in-game races into playable races over time. Usually alongside a spruce up to make them look more distinct and appealing but still in line with their original depiction. If the development team really wished to, they could do something similar with FFXIV. Not that I particularly care for Lupin myself, though - but such a stance could pave the way for additional playable options that I do care about in the future.

True and welcome to Au Ra master race

There's always going to be a vocal group that won't be happy about it.

[Jojoya]

If I remember correctly, they said they didn't make Lupin a playable race because they didn't feel they were able to offer enough customization options to make them look noticeably different from each other.

And obviously players would not be okay with a lack of headgear when they are already unhappy with a lack of headgear for Viera and Hrothgar despite being warned about it in advance.
