They're in Ivalice. XIV is not Ivalice.

You'd think that after awhile the developers at SE would get tired of catering to the pubescent horny little fanbois.

i'm happy they are not in 14. i don't want to play a rabbit, that is for sure!!

FFTA/FFTA2 as well.

Where are my bangaa!

I will not pick up Final Fantasy XIV if Sephiroth is not a playable character.

/end.

speaking of flawed logic:
"I don't want to play as a bunny, so nobody should be able to"
really?
I mean reeeeeaaallly?

This.

There are many FF races I'd rather see than nearly nude rabbits.

With that logic, Humes were introduced in FFXI and in no other FF game what so ever.

I say they bring Moombas back.

I want to be Leaping Lizzy.

of course they're not in eorzea... eorzea should just have a race of bunygirls names Bieraz, that's totaly different.

the only thing is... i can't imagine what males Bieraz look like :x

I LOVED the FF12 races. If they can recreate 11's races and rename them, why not 12's too?
Even before there was talk of 14 I wished I could play one of FF12's moogles. And they would have the advantage that the art director from 12 is doing 14 as well. They wouldn't have to redesign a whole lot since they already had quite a few character models for each race.
I vote yes please.

It sounds like I'm not the only one who'd like Moogles to be a playable race.

I wouldn't mind Goblins, either.

There wasn't much to gripe about as far as fan service goes in IX, yeah. I liked the art style they ran with in IX, it was very unique.

I am dissapointed is like a remake of FFXI all over again, same races, same crap you can only be a cat if you play woman, they called it a new game but so far is remake no matter how u look it. Would love to see more race/ all race having the choice between male and female.

Similar to the Thread you put up bashing Gay people?

I'd rather have Nu Nou than ankle bitter tarus.

Who would I have to @#%^ to get a playable Tonberry?

Nu Mou and Bangaa are the two most awesome races in all of Final Fantasy history.

I'm not saying give everything that people ask for, but from a basic business perspective if there is a lot of enthusiasm for something, do it. Adding a few new races wouldn't offset the game, its not a crazy demand. This is a NEW game, why aren't we seeing any new races? It would give the game a NEW feel, which is what I'm looking for after 4 years of FFXI.

They want the horny geeks who play as Vieras to be able to see their screen, and not just white.

That's something your taking for granted.
There are all walks of player-types, combat is only top priority to a handful.

I think SE didn't think we'd notice that all they did was take off the tail of Galka. ::Shrug::

That's better, surely. At least your giving some validity to career crafters now. But your still not accepting the full flush of gamer-types in favor of your own perceptions.

Think about it this way.
The Sims is the best selling PC game in history. What does it's gameplay consist of? Combat? Group Dynamics? Leveling Progress? Whether or not you actually like the Sims is non-issue. There's obviously enough human beings out there willing to vote with their wallets to support games that focus on things outside of your scope.


Your resources argument is non-issue.
Game designers are not waffling about indecisively during production, every nuance of gameplay has been documented threefold in a mountain of word and excel documents the size of a small child at this point. Adding anything aesthetically isn't affecting gameplay development one iota, because that had to be mostly set in stone before anyone even thought of starting to build the game.

It's not that this stuff doesn't take time. It's just that the billions of dollars that is necessary to support a 5 year development cycle of an AAA title is so unimaginably staggering what your doing is tantamount to becoming hysterical over a housefly.
