About the species, here some uncommon Suggestions:

As for the fly expansion we have Aegyl (Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings), so lets wait for them when the expansion comes out.


Same with the swimming and diving expansion where we have Mermaids (Final Fantasy I), again we have to wait till the expansion comes out. No merman were seen before - will we see some this time?


My personal Favorites are Gria (Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift) and Moomba (Final Fantasy VIII, they are actually members of the Shumi Tribe who have evolved). Gria with their halve Dragon like appearance may not come so soon because they are just "females". Furthermore they can fly, which makes them a great second Species for the fly expansion. Moomba on the other hand is an animal like Species which is something Special. The Shapeshifting ability of the Shumi Tribe can add a new level to the current FFXIV Races. Depending what lies within their hearts they evolve into different forms. It will not be easy to add them.

I like them, so some more Pics:

Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI):

"A mysterious young woman, born with the gift of magic, and enslaved by the Gestahlian Empire."

This contains spoiler, be warned.

Terra was born in the Land of Espers, to an esper father, Maduin, and a human mother, Madeline.

Some Esper like Tribe would be great too, but i guess that doesnt fit in the current FFXIV Storyline.

Well and then some who are not common:
Kappa (Final Fantasy VI) ->
Lunarians (Final Fantasy IV) ->
Lufenish (Final Fantasy I) ->
Varg (Final Fantasy V + VI) ->

Just think back on the 3rd Players Poll:
Q2. What type of race or clan would you most like to see added in the future?

You may notice the similarity on already added Races in previous Final Fantasy games...

Excuse-me, Yukiko
But where did you come across the name Varg for VI's wolfmen?

Excuse-me, Yukiko

Its from [here and here]
Kelga Vlondett from FFV
Lone Wolf from FFVI
Tsuze from FFV

In Common translations they are called Werewolves, a humanoid lycanthrope race.

The Problem comes when we have Monsters who are called Wolf, Werwolf, Werewolf or "Warg Wolf"... Special from Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy XII

here's been a lot of controversy over the Old English word wearg. Mary Gerstein's article, which tries to reinstate the meaning of Germanic warg as "werwolf," has been largely rejected. Wearg and German warg go back to a similar root that may have meant "strangler"; some etymologists (T.A. Karston and others) see this as a "taboo word" for "wolf," but this hasn't been universally accepted. Michael Jacoby and Jos. Weitenberg remark that it is only late, and mostly in Norse, that vargr (cognate with warg) acquires the meaning "wolf" along with "criminal." In Old English, wearg means almost exclusively "criminal" or "accursed being."

The Lex Salica, the Lex Ripuaria (both in Latin and using the word wargus) and the Scandinavian Gra'ga's (in Icelandic and using the word varg) all have legal language wherein they declare a criminal a warg -- related to our Old English wearg. In the Lex Salica and Ripuaria, as in some ancient Greek laws, this term refers to outcasts: "Let him be warg," or, "let him be as a wolf for X amount of time who has done X." -- said of men whose behavior is so terrible that exile is the severest punishment. This isn't to say that the warg wasn't seen as having a wolfish quality, or that warg/wearg/vargr wasn't a synonym for a wolf in ancient times. It's just that we don't have proof.

This phrasing also turns up in some Hittite texts. Punishment by exile and "wargness" is usually reserved for heinous crimes like digging up graves or oath-breaking. But Jaan Puhvel shows that the Hittite word for "wolf" is not the one that relates to warg. It's the word hurkel in the Hittite laws that has etymological relationship with warg. This word means a sex-offender.

Just think back on the 3rd Players Poll:
Q2. What type of race or clan would you most like to see added in the future?

What I really notice is that nearly 43% of the population is in favor of more build diversity within the existing races, while 40%~ is in favor of a new human like race (Not full on beastlike, and lets face it the mamalian is a bit skewed in favor of fan-service), all the while less than 20% want a full on beast-like race.

A mix between Viera and XII moogle would be nice. The moogle in XII are very bunny-like

Delete the pom-pom, make them bigger and less fur and it should be ok.
Hmm, or keep the fur ^^

Depends on which plan you're on though. Only Legacy and Standard get 8 slots per server, so if you're on Entry plan, you won't be able to have more than one character per server.

You can still make a new char on another server.

^ this would be awesome as a playable race =3

I agree with this idea completely but as much as I love it I do not think many people will be behind another feline like PC. Either way it still has my vote. :3

[Endigiont]

I me love some Ronso <,<; Can I has it? Matter of fact that'd have been cooler than Male Mithra in my humble opinion.

[Felis]

IF we get a lizard race I would like for it to be Dravanian and we can get to play as dragons, drakes or wyrm - type creatures. :3

Dragons are already beastmens in ARR, with Bahamut as their primal.

[Warlock]

I would love to have something like this:

We already have the cat like , bring in the dog like
something like this for lizard type
