Thema: [POLL] Which new races would you like the most for FFXIV [2.0.]

Ya actually Viera already won in the official poll...
Is it ok if i want a race from an almost FF series game?

I only care for a new race if it is Sovani race from Last Remnant...
Other then that imma be indifferent.

I'd rather see races added as the lore provides them, honestly, starting with some significantly different tribes of the initial races, with a distinctly styled appearance from an of course similar build, such as more proportionate but more intimidating elves, leaner Roegadyn, longer-eared, more lynx- or panther- like miqote, and perhaps some esper-influenced Hyur.

Eorzea as it is seems like something of an especially amiable mix of races. I'd like to see where more segregated diversity might lead in the some of the races' more prominent homes. I also wouldn't mind these choices being locked out until your account has discovered them, and/or at least for a couple patches until they're (in the view of the Eorzean citystates) well known.

Edit: In all honesty, I'm not too fond of a Draconic (especially scaled) race, and I do feel that we otherwise have our bases already covered. As such I feel that this would be a more natural choice for diversity. As we expand far further than Eorzea alone though, then Burmencians may well be interesting indeed...

Well I would want the Ronso (Actually I wanted them for the male Miqote but whatcha going to do) and to up the incentive their /pose should be thundercat ho!

Here's one for all of you who think Viera won anything official

Tanslation: Viera didn't win anything, it was merely used as an example. More than once, Yoshi said he regretted putting their class name in the poll since he feels people responded to Viera directly.

The poll option was:

Mammalian demi-beastmen (ex. a rabbit-eared race such as the Viera from FFXII, etc.)

ex. = example

The emphasis being on Mammalian demi-beastmen rather than Viera, but oh well, so many people need glasses apparently. . . .

As for the topic, I'd looove being able to play the Qu <3

Also, I'd like to see a race along the lines of Seeq make an appearance in XIV playable or just NPC. I love those ugly mofos :3

Bottom line, don't really care for more humanoid races. No Ronso, Viera, Guado, Gria. . . . they're just human reskins with more ears/fangs/wings added onto them.

P.S. Can we get one fatty-fat-fat race ingame already?

And suddenly the Sahagin are a playable race.

Yukes (what I think Vivi was based off of) have more features to separate them (their armors are different based on sex, there seems to be some emblems, as well as body shape (including vivi, even more), and you can do things with the "darkness". I mentioned it in another thread that it would be an interesting challenge, but I think people get too hot on the no button because of their apparent simplicity. "Its not unique looking to each character".. Cant tell you how many times I've seem me on someone else - you get used to it lol. And the magical mystery of the race would suffice for the similarities.


(wing type, glow type, many eye shapes and colors, body shapes (short n fat vivi - taller yuke), male female changes armors style, perhaps armors come with special emblems if chosen - more if you really tried).

Over all I dont think its a lost thought.

Dont you mean the other way around? Kinda hard to believe Vivi was based off a race which was never in a game until 4 years after FFIX was released. Vivi and the Black Mages of FFIX were based off the traditional look of a Black Mage from FF1. I might play a race like that if SE created it though i think they would make a better plot twist like Garleans, Allagans or who knows using Magitek Soldiers. Magic powered machines designed to be expendable and have no will of their own. Like how the Blackmages were used with the exception of Vivi in FFIX.

Way way way back i voted for burmecians or a totally original race and i'm sticking with that though if i cant reroll my race/name when new races are implemented i cant see me giving up my Lalafell.

Yes i understand what E.X means.
With that said when someone says "a rabbit eared race such as the Viera from FFXII" I kinda somehow (and you can call me insane) get an image of the Viera in my head. If they made a rabbit eared race in FFXIV how different you think it would be from the Viera we already know?
Also it dosent matter if what poeople thought Yoshi said and what he actually ment where two different things . if they thought "Oh! Viera" and voted for that then it dosen't matter what Yoshi really ment. what matters is that the majority of the people voted for it cause they thought it was Viera = what majority of people wanted it at that time.
I dun care weather or not it is going to be the new race dude. i aint changing a thing. But it is pretty clear that if there is an official poll with 10 races and one of them is "a rabbit eared race such as the Viera from FFXII" and wins cause people voted for it cause they thought it was gonna be the already known Viera, it means it was an OFFICIAL POLL in which VIERA was voted the most thus it won...

read this carefully please.


ps: i read just fine with my glasses. they like made by N.A.S.A and shit look
