FFXIV New Beastmen? Thoughts?

[zue]

So, what do you guys think the new Beastmen will be?

Or.

Will SE recycle old ones with new names and looks?

I think we'll be seeing everything we already see in FFXI, just redone and renamed.

Which horde are you looking forward to the most?

this is completely only me and the way that I see it. FFXIV to me in my eyes is FFXI world maybe later on after vana progressed in technology and many people decided to go to other places since they finally could. so I'm thinking it's like a new continent thing and they will have new beastmen and such. but hey thats how I like to think of it lol

It would be super lame if the main FFXI beastmen "orcs/yagudo/etc" were reused in FFXI

However many monsters will be reused "because many monsters are shared between all FFS not only FF11"

crabs are universal. expect high polygon count crabs in various colors.

[alemona]

seeing more tonberrys finally would be something.
orcs,yagudos & quadavs are boring.

[Silenka]

I doubt the beastmen will be the same honestly.
Thinking we're gonna have new beastmen for 14.

[Pro]

If by Beastmen, you are talking about Yagudo/Orcs/Goblins/Quadavs. I think, that there will be a 99% chance that they will NOT appear in the game, as this is supposed to be a completely new universe, with only the PCs remaining the same. Though I would expect Tonberry's, Couerl's and maybe a few other of the Final Fantasy staples, to appear.

I think the gobs will be back again. Not only has there always been a Goblin type enemy in an FF game but the FFXI Gobbies have become about as popular as Cactuars/Moogles/etc.

If there are Yags/Orcs/Quadavs though... That would be a shame.

[alemona]

goblins being popular is very true heh.

i wonder if ffxiv wouldn't use them, will there still be beastmen npcs like the ones in goblin shop in jeuno etc?
they are entertaining XD

[Cantih]

Only one I'd accept would be Yagudo.
Cause Gessho was badass.

[altwight]

Tonberry and Goblins are the only ones I want to see that aren't new.

[Trocian]

Yagudos are awesome. Orcs and lolQuadavs not so much.

[Lurking Badger]

I liked the Anticans and their roman legion.

[McGoonagle]

Quadav replacement to be more reptilian,

Yag replacement will be bird-like, but maybe looking less like Sam Eagle after watching daytime soaps,

Orc replacement will be humanoid, maybe disturbingly close to a normal human, and less like Anthony Quayle after a night with a bottle of brandy and a drinking straw.

[Roscobel]

Rabbits for sure..

[FallingHigher]

Dhalmels.

But semi-seriously Iron Giants would be cool but not as main antagonists though.

[Kurokikaze]

I remember reading on the FFXIV site that the main bad guys were the dudes from the Empire.. Maybe they will opt out of using beastmen again and have more humanoid/fomor enemies instead. And use some old/new mob types for the world itself.

[Kawfee]

I also doubt we'll see Orcs, Yagudo, or Quadav. Tonberry and goblin would make sense from a FF history.
I'd like to see more humanoid enemies from that other empire, maybe in full armor like Judges from FF12/etc or the soldiers ala FF8 in a variety of the towns.

[Dustt]

Your new "beastmen": It will be FFXIV races with beastmen helmets on.

[Roscobel]

Any chance we can play the beastmen perhaps?
I'm not game with that idea tho..
