New Race Options: Beastmen

[toshimoog]

get some race from FFXII or FFTA would be cool. but they can do this much later after other important stuffs get fixed first.

I like this idea actually. Bangaa, moogles, viera as playable races sounds indeed cool. Qiqirn MIGHT work, but I can't imagine goblins.

[Kiroh]

I want a freaking playable race with a horn on their forehead already! >_<

(Also, add summoner please.)

[Amsai]

They did! In fact you could tell with some NM Goblins by the suffix of their name.
Wyvernpoacher Drachlox = female
Mysticmaker Profblix = Male

I'd prefer races from in the game universe instead of from Ivalice.

As such Goblin and Quririnrinrin make the best choices for now. Id like to see how goblins look wearing some of the armors we have like Cowls and armor helms. It would probably end up looking like they took the armor Goblins already have and just remeshed the texture to fit those model meshes.

I wouldn't stop playing my Roegadyn to play another race or new sex...

I also would be hesitant to roleplay with Goblin and Qiqirn races when I pass one through my travels. I don't understand how they... Wut? It hurts my head just thinking about it. It is going to be very confusing joining a party of Goblins to kill goblins or a party of qiqirns to kill qiqirns. I can't imagine things going smoothly.

Is there going to be all new armor specific to these two types of races? ... I'm not too sure I like this idea. I'm willing to accept it and let it happen, but I'm not to sure I'm going to like what I see.

And... Aren't Qiqirns sort of mistreated in this game? I saw one in Limsa Lominsa that was sort of a slave or something on one of the pirate ships...

As for the Roegadyn female... I can't imagine her looking pretty (attractive), but I hope you can pull it off.

If it becomes a playable beastman vs playable human-like character world in this game it's going to require a ****-ton of content to achieve. I'm not saying it's impossible for any of this, but keep in mind what it being asked for.

Wont the beastman race be like wow lol evil vs good? even if some beastman are good there still beastman and not one of the 5 race in eorzea so wanting beastman would = a diff life. i mean how could you really make any beastman into a race you could play that just dreaming.

That might be pretty fun, if enough content is produced and if system functionality is working enough to implement a feature like PvP, it might be kinda cool.

Humans, lalafell, elezen, etc. vs Goblins, qiqirn, orcs, yagudo, quadav (lol just saying), but it'd be interesting.

I am SO behind this, ever since XI I wanted to be a goblin, yagudo or orc, hell even the dark kindred! I doubt it will happen but I'd scream like a giddy schoolgirl if it did. :P

Nah, its not that hard to imagine. Goblins and Qiqirn can be pretty friendly and funny at times. And no, I definately don't mean a good vs evil thing like in WoW. Goblins and Qiqirn would just be mercenaries fighting on the side of one of the three nations with no real affiliation with other beast tribes nor the Garlean Empire. A perspective like that could work.

Its actually more common then you would think, in XI there were plenty of goblin npcs that worked with the locals of vanadiel (Gobby bag shop goblins, dyna glass, random item shop and above all the one from the main storyline) and aswell as quqirn (look around Whitegate almost more of them then us)

[Majidah]

wouldnt they need their own cities and storylines?

[Dargoth_Draconia]

Actually I would say gear obtained currently wouldn't suit either Goblins or Qiqirns. There are other beastmen races that would better qualify for this but I highly doubt we will ever see that implemented.
