Yeah, the game already has cat-people. I was hoping for dogs or something else.

The starter edition (which only has the content up to level 50 unlocked) is 10 euros, or you can get Stormblood (the level 70 expansion) for 40. Keep in mind that the buffcats won't be playable until Shadowbringers launches in July, so you might as well wait for it and not buy an expansion twice. Maybe keep an eye out for a preorder sale.

The subscription is 11 euros per month if you don't mind being limited to a single character per world, which isn't that big of a deal since the game is designed around only ever having one character.

Although the buffcats are male only, which is disappointing. The only buff ladies in the game are still the roes.

e: If you do still want to play a not-buffcat ahead of time, you do get a free fantasia (character reroll item) once you finish the launch storyline, so you can hang onto that until ShB is out.

It's also worth starting now because the story and expansions are entirely linear. You have to get through the entire original game's Main Story Quest to access the first expansion. Then that expansion's entire MSQ to get to the third expansion. Then all of that to get to Shadowbringers.

You can buy skip items from the cash-shop if you want, but the game actually has a great story (especially that first expansion).

Wait, the beefcats are male only?

My interest just died entirely but thanks for the information

Subscription games terrify me as is and having to buy a bunch of stuff only to then get a beefcat that cannot be a girl is sad


I've been dearly hoping SOME game would usurp Guild Wars 2 for me and let me play as some beefy beast race that has beefy looking women

Why, FF14, do you get so close only to send me back to Guild Wars 2 anyway >:C

also do you mean I have to play through all the stories to even be able to make a character who is a beefcat, or what

that would be kind of annoying even if the story is cool if my entire raison d'etre in the game is the beefcat

No, you can make a beefcat right away.

I imagine they'll add the new genders NEXT expansion. There's been a lot of blowback on this. There is one beefy-woman race in the game, but they're basically just Amazons.

as long as they don't make them tiny, diminutive waifu looking things, I'd love a female version of the beefcats

there's plenty of catgirls already, fair enough, now all they have to do is add a female checkmark and some voice options for female cat and they are done

no tiddies, no "smaller and curvier" version of the beef, nope, keep them as is and just lemme make them female

Eh, sure, why not.
The next expansion involves the PC going to another world where the races all have different names, and there the Hrothgar are literally called "Ronso" so yeah :v

Supposedly they came up with beefcats because they added Viera but evidently couldn't come up with a male Viera they liked (even though there is some very good concept art for them floating around?)

So, they went with the FFXII lore about how male Viera essentially don't exist and made Ronso as a separate male-only choice instead. They also claimed that they decided this was going to be the last time they add new races (which is fair enough considering each new race means designing, modeling, and testing a new mesh for every single piece of armor in the game plus every single piece of armor they ever add) and doing this gender split allowed them to round out the race selection with two new additions instead of just one.

Personally I hope they overcome their cowardice and make the twinks already. I appreciate that the Hrothgar look like they walked out of an mlm bara furry doujin but the people want bunny twinks and butch catgirls and the people will not be denied, yoship.

Now, I'm not saying that Kimahri small Ronso, but consider the facts:

1. Kimahri small
2. Kimahri Ronso

Given these truths, it seems to me there is no way we can avoid reaching the obvious conclusion, and in this essay I will

If they do a female Hrothgar race, they would have to work to make them look different.

Like I said, I need zero changes, I don't really want them to look different (because I'm afraid they'll just get WoW-ified and become tinier, curvier and sexier versions of beefy races that look barely like the male ones anymore), I just want them to be female beefcats

Im betting to save time, most of the gear from the Roegadyn will look the same as when worn by the Hrothgar. So, if they do a female race, I won't be surprised if it's female Roegadyn, which are just tall buff women.

Image



The developers have already said that some headpiece gear will be (visually) limited on Hrothgar and Vierra at launch.

Ah, yes. As you may remember from the Tokyo Fan Festival keynote, I mentioned that due to the special design of the Hrothgar and Viera heads, equipped headgear would not display.

Glasses and so forth would not display either at first, but after seeing how many people called for us to do something, anything, to address this after the announcement, the character team took it upon themselves to use their spare moments to make it possible—without telling me. More than five hundred and forty such items were carefully modified by our designers so that all would display correctly with our new face models. /salute

The entire 24 man raid tier for Stormblood was Ivalice inspired, featuring both FFXII and FFT characters.

They're also doing a FFXV crossover event for the next few weeks where you can buy the FFXV car (first 4-man mount in the game). If you have a lot of Gold Saucer currency that is.

The benchmark is out, and even if you don't play the game, you can mess around with the character creator for the new races (looks like the benchmark only lets you pick race specific hairstlyes for the time being.
