Just an idea; new "Clans" for each existing race

[Wanzzo]

We've not yet been to Meracydia, but we know it's a continent to the south. It makes sense that we may visit it in the future, and seems a great opportunity to showcase some new cultures and potentially even looking a bit distinct from those we've previously seen.

- "Wolf" Hrothgar

I really dig the IDEA of the Hrothgar. I've always gravitated towards larger, tough-looking characters, and the initial artwork shown of the Hrothgar looked awesome. However, the end result look a bit too much like "big kitty-cat men", which feels a bit "cutesy".

I would LOVE to have a "clan" of Hrothgar with more Wolf-inspired features. I'd also love if they were maybe a LITTLE less chonky, a little more lean, but if that's not possible, whatever. I'd love going all-out with a Nordic/Viking sort of theme, maybe some long, ornate braids? Maybe having "fur" over your entire body, as well? Mainly just more "canine" face options.

In general, I like the idea. The new areas we would explore in the game could bring to us these new variations, since all clans we have access are based on in the Eorzea, Dalmasca and Othard areas.

About the Hrotghars, I think a "wolfy" one won't happen. We already have a notion of a race of wolfy people at Doma. So, to make something similar or a mix between hroths and them would not be interesting to develop...

Miqo'tes from Meracydia could have a new pattern of furry areas in their bodies (the same goes for Vieras and maybe Hroths) like necks or shoulders or feet or whatever.

I hope Meracydia would bring more "wild and tribal" environments and cultures with new jobs like xaman or druids of the forest and those new clans with similar themes in their clan traits. It would be nice

This would definitely make people who want something closer to FF11's Mithra a bit happier. Maybe also keep them away from discussions on unrelated races in turn I don't know how differently they could make Hrothgar fur, but at least for Miqo'te it'd be an idea that's much easier to execute.

For a wolf-related Hrothgar, as cool as that'd be and as much as (I think) Yoshida said before there'd be canine-looking options, they have far too many Panthera traits for it to suddenly change. When you factor in the Lupines, I doubt canids would be an option.

I don't even want to suggest "mixing" Lupines and Hrothgar due to the implications. Not just because they'd be furry races, but because it'd open the can of worms that are mixed races in general, such as Half-Elezen Half-Hyurs. We know they exist. But we don't know the extent they'd be allowed to exist. Plenty of combinations would make some portions of the FF14 playerbase uncomfortable.
