Need a NEW SMALL RACE!!!!!

[Tsiron]

The last thing FFXIV needs is yet another cat race lmao (moombas, I mean). Realistically these... Lilties seem like the only ones that match the look and proportions of Lalafell enough that they could be based on them, and a plant-like race is also a niche not yet represented in the playable roster

[BiggieSmallz]

They need a Small Fur Race if they come with another race.

I retract my previous statement, if you compare Lalafell and Genomes side by side their proportions are actually not that different. FFIX's oversized hands and feet aside, Lalafell have slightly shorter legs, but otherwise...

Actually I think the height similarity is due to the difference in art style. FFIX moved away from the style they used on most of their modern games to appear more cartoonish and I think this essentially squished the height on alot of the characters so they appeared to be shorter than they actually are.

Oh I know, but I assume they'd want to preserve their recognizable aesthetic even in a non-"chibi" setting

Will never give up wishing for Ivalice Moogles.

[Miiu]

Will never give up wishing for Ivalice Moogles.

The moment they add either Ivalice Moogles or Lopporits is the moment I switch my character's race.

[ElizanderNorisse]

The Loporrits would’ve been nice. They’re such trolls lol.

[Kye]

We most definitely need a new small race, and it's gotta be either Loporrits or Ivalice Moogles, with those adorable emotes like the facerub and the earflop. Oh! And the jump and wave with both hands. :'D

[SherlottaEryut]

Why not both? If they are able and want to, why can't we get both more options for existing races as well as adding new races?

SE aren’t capable of doing both, you’re giving them too much faith. Look how the situation worked with Viera having no hairstyles or options for 2+ years after being told to ‘look forward to future patches’. Instead, male Viera were being created who suffer the same limitations and no information on if there’ll be improvements.

SE aren’t ready to implement Ivalician Moogles or any other small race because it’s clearly too much work for them to handle. If they can’t focus on their already playable races, why would you think they can work miracles on making ivalician moogles have no limitations? If they make those moogles playable races people are only going to complain how they have nothing compared to other races.

And also, moogles won’t be able to have anything in compensation for the limitations because the other races on the forums would just scream how they deserve stuff too.
