Possible idea for future new Race...?

[Thebard]

Poaching races from Ivalice is not going to cut it. Inventing a completely new race is the best option, the only sensible option.

They already copied the entire spread of playable races from XI over wholesale, made minor changes, and gave them new names.

They have copied an entire beastiary of mobs over from XI and other games wholesale - using the exact same look/design, just with more detail - and brought them in.

Magitech is from another game in the series.

Materia is from another game in the series.


Crystal Tower.

Golden Bazaar.

And so on...

Yoshi-P has already stated that XIV is going to be bringing elements from other games over, and it already has been from the start. So, concern about bringing things from another game seems rather moot at this point.

Besides, as Elexia pointed out in the other thread, only people who've "visited Ivalice" will recognize them.

I'm okay with them coming up with something entirely new. I just like the idea of having a race similar to them, even if not exactly them.

Thats exactly why we need something entirely new, because nothing else is.

well but at least you could say "i want something in that direction, if you dont like those existing races" i dont think that yoshida wants to introduce an existing race.


here my poll, which i created long long time ago about different types of races:

Which-new-races-would-you-like-the-most-for-FFXIV-2.0.?

Nice! I'd completely missed that poll.

I kinda like the Burmecians, too.. Although they seem somewhat reminiscent of Qiqirns... Though I like Qiqirns as well, so go figure.

Except that he named Viera in the player poll, he is clearly under the impression that western players want Viera as a new race. There is no mention of "rabbit-like" there is only the term Viera being mentioned which is somewhat infuriating as it has become a bandwagon.
However I digress, people on the whole aren't asking for "something a bit like this" at all they are asking for xyz from other FF games. There is only so much recycling of stuff from previous FF games that people will tolerate before it becomes seen as just SE being lazy.
Your poll is just more of that unimaginative nonsense, those are not new races they are races from other FF games.
