Viera (cute bunny people that honestly in battle i don't feel is super intimidating)

I still don't understand why people don't just support to the "New Tribes of current races" option, or whatever it was.

Miqote + height + bunny ears and tail = Viera
Roeg + lion snout + body hair + tail + a little weight loss = Ronso

Because mummy and daddy didn't say NO! when they were little.

Hurray, new playable races!

At first I was laughing, but then I saw Quina and was like "F$#% no!"

Haters gonna hate, I'd switch to a Quiina race straight away.

And I'm strictly a racist lalafell btw.

Like the idea of Ronso, but wouldn't mind seeing some type of alien-cyborg/robot race. Or even Mamool Ja. I've always wanted to be a Sahagin but I don't see that happening.

Tonberries and Bunnies. . . No thanks.

Burmecian would be cool or something entirely original. I'd also like to see Anticans maybe in a new setting like a big tree for example.

I love the idea of the gria race or some kind of equivalent demon-human race.
I also like the idea of burmecians as I'm a diehard dragoon fan, so anyone who has played FF9 knows.

Here's my problem with adding new races though. Because they're not available until later on, and because the race you choose is set in stone, I won't be able to change my race should another one come out. Yes I could just make another character, but I've never liked doing that. I'd rather put all my time in to one char than to split it between different chars.

This. I'm a one-character player. I have 2 mules in XI I never use because it never felt right.

That being said, I'd be interested to see what new races they could come out with. I'm sure they'd explain in the story why certain races never show up before they are added. Either that or they could add a few "possible" races as NPCs before any of them are chosen. That way they don't need to redesign all the gear for them until the player base has decided on what they want.

Anyone playing FFXI lately might have stumbled on the new Meeble Burrows content. The Meebles are a new form of mole beastmen that are - as far as I know - enslaved by the Moblins. I would not be surprised if they are a new enemy type in later updates or in the Adoulin expansion. This way we get accustomed to seeing them in the world before their presence becomes more widespread. The same goes for Merlwyb, the first female Roegadyn - interacting with her the past several months has made the idea of a She-Galka less weird.
