I liked how dungeons and dragons handled their beast/monstrous races for the most part. Know furries tend to dislike them as well because they tend to have that more "serious" look I guess. Alot better then that goofy-looking disney-eque characters furries tend to go for.

I miss when Final Fantasy had good beast races. I was hoping the new race in FF XIV was going to be a thing but oh hey.... They're humans with a few scales on their faces, horns, and a tail. I might as well stick with my miqo'te.

Remember the Burmecians/Cleyrans? They were pretty cool. Ronsos not so much because Kimahri was a bitch, but it was still something.

D&D beast races are good because they're an attempt to have something cool and unique added to the world that isn't a human or an elf or whatever. Beast races taken out of that context rarely works. Can you imagine a realistic Starfox, all serious and grim dark?

Everquest was extremely good along the same lines of DnD-style beast races as well.
>>
>>291387937
In-game they are mostly hunched over. The females don't have boobs though there's still some "sexy" armor. They also run on all 4.
>>
>>291387693
Plotwise it would be pretty hard to integrate an actual beastrace as a playable race to XIV.
>>
>>291388453

In the original Guild Wars there were basically three types of Charr. The hunched over brutes, the scrawny support casters, and the upright primary casters.
>>
>>291388687
It would be now because there aren't any beast races that aren't crazy primal worshipping tribals.

There just aren't any civilized beast races to begin with in that game. Hence, part of the problem.
>>
I'd love a Red XIII/Sif-style race where you could get away with no human features at all. Even realistic humanoid animals are still humanoid which is waaaay overdone. People imagine crazy detailed worlds, but can't picture anything other than bipedal lifeforms.

None, to my knowledge, are bold enough to allow them to have any significant gameplay differences or take advantage of their sexy tails.
Beast races unfortunately serve as nothing but furbait for the most part.
>>
>>291386239
Morrowind did them better.
>>
>>291388961
Yeah, but a big part of the reason the beast races are uncivilised is because social attitudes towards them are extremely negative and so they're constantly pitted against the enlightened races. If you suddenly had say an Owl beastrace walking around all of the cities and being totally integrated with the rest of society then it kinda makes the whole racism against beastmen angle that is a core facet of the setting utterly collapse.

You have some occasional exceptions in certain individuals and Goblins by not waging war constantly are generally treated better relatively, but the reality of how it has to be is that either they're all ok or none of them are.
>>
>>291389010
Form dictates function, anon. A quadraped race wouldn't be able to manipulate tools which is the first step to being an intelligent, civilized race.

Unless you want to give them psychic abilities or some shit.
>>
>>291389462
You forgot that they're a six limbed race with a quadrupedal body type with four legs and two arms coming out of their shoulders.

I'm sure devs could think of something. Being bipedal/having a two arms/two legs upright setup isn't the only way to be able to manipulate tools. Even something unconventional like a spider that uses front feelers or something with a long, controllable tail/tongue.

>You have Goblin traders in the cities fine.
Yeah, Goblins are the most accepted race. And even then they're only allowed to visit as merchants and are still distrusted by the majority of the population.

>And Slyph are seen as nice.
No, the Sylphs are seen as non-aggressive which is very different. Of course you have splinter groups like the little Solace tribe which some people such as the Scions get along with but for the most part Sylphs are seen as dangerous and kill people on sight, they just keep to themselves and only retaliate rather than initiate.

>Hell, ain't the new Dragon people technically a beats race?
The Au Ra potentially have slightly iffy social connotations due to them having partial dragon ancestry, I would imagine Ishgard aren't huge fans of them for that reason. However they aren't a beast race and are generally accepted by the other enlightened races of Eorzea.
>>
I guess that insect race in Dark Sun was sort of different. Having four arms but not being able to wear normal armor.
Why can't we have lizardmen holding stuff with their tails too

>>
It makes you specialise your character which doesn't happen anymore for some reason, but it'd be great to have an unconventional character like two legs/no arms that's strongly in touch with magic. No choice for physical classes but great for magic/range. Limited clawing with feet or a bite or something like that in a pinch. I don't know, most games these days let you do what you want with any character so it wouldn't happen.

Oddworld got you covered. Vykkers, Glukkons, they're all interesting. Glukkons have both arms and legs, but their reliance on technology and industry made them lazy, and their legs eventually evolved to shrivel since they didn't go outside. They wear huge suits that cover their shoulders to the ground, and under that they walk on their hands. With legs they'd be 15-20 feet tall, even just walking on their hands they're 8 feet-ish.

This thread is relevant to my interests since I'm working on some beast races for a personal project of mine, and I want some feedback in fact.

How would you classify a good beast race?

This thread has actually made me rethink some design concepts. I really like some of the FFTA people mentioned. I kinda wanna have that level of creativity in the designs for some of the races.

Anyway, yeah, what's a good race, and what's a bad race? In terms of design.

I've got some ideas, but I'll post what I've worked on.

Some of the must be races are:
-Bird People similar to Harpies
-Merpeople that aren't mermaids (tails)
-Ape-people, these would be the most human
-Moth-like Elf fairies

Everything else is up in the air as for what else could be added.

I kinda wanna have Kitsune, and I was thinking of a slug-like race that was fat and pudgy, but also kinda like the Majin in DB.

I was also thinking of 4 armed demons, kinda like the Islam Ifrit, but with Horns and red skin

Dragonfolk too, scaly reptiles that breathe fire

Anyway, I'll just post art and see what /v/ says. What they like, what they don't etc...

So would you say that perhaps they look too human?

I think that in this particular race, I kinda want a more human look.

But now that I stop to think, a lot look very human, and not enough creature-like, which is what I really liked about those FFTA races.
>>
>>291408052
I don't know too much about design, but off the top of my head.

1. They should have clear ties to the world and its history. Go a little easy on the quantity and flesh them out.

2. Try not to fall too far into making them exactly like humans in ideology or physiology.

3. Design links/conflicts between them, hatred or racism...maybe an old grudge due to some long past events.

4. They need to have some traits, physical and mental/cultural that prevent a human of x ethnicity for just taking their spot.

It depends on what you're going for. In general though, I would try to veer away from very human designs unless there is a good reason, like say....a god designing everything, or maybe a race being born from a curse when they were originally human...or some such.

Pretty much, if you want a bird race you need to include all the main features of birds. Not just wings but also feathers, beaks and shit.

But if you want to go for more humanoid harpies your design isn't bad. There's always problem with races looking too similar to ones from different franchises thpigh, so if you went with all the shit I said without being too creative it'd probably look like this. >>291401361


So just go for what you think looks best. Though the mermaid people are a bit retarded because it'd bee to hard to move with their feet thingys on land. Unless you want their lore to be that they barely move inland

Duly noted.

I'd say that some will be attractive in some way, but I also wanna add a nice deal of variety in making others much less so.

>>291409057
This is good advice, thanks.

I think my biggest problem right now is number 1, I have wayyyy too many, and I'm designing too many ideas. I've got like a list of 20, and have drawn like half, but I'm still not entirely sure what to use.

2. Yeah, this is why I took interest in this thread. I think some will be human-like, like the Kitsune for example which make sense to be attractive and human-like, but I think that having some variety in the other races will make the more human-like stand out more.

I was also thinking of extending the features of humans to include different shades of skin, horns, elf ear and such that way the straight up, elves dwarves, and giants from typical lore are essentially human thus giving me more variety in design for the humans, and more freedom in other races since I kinda fill that urge to include "the elf" and "the dwarf"

3 and 4 are covered, it's for a comic, so I think the deciding factor in which races to include will be determined by their relevance to the story. The biggest and most important part in all that will be this.

Which in turn makes the bird race, and the moth-fairies the most important thus far.

Thanks anon.

Honest that was one of the things I was debating in terms of design. I wasn't entirely sure what to do just yet.

Only thing that's certain as of now, is that all of the races derrive from the 5 elements:
Fire
Water
Air
Earth
Aether

With some being more creature-like, and others more humanoid. I try to derive from actual folk-lore and such, but I also don't wanna do the typical. It's a paradox I guess. Still figuring things out.

With the merpeople it's kinda hard, since I find some of the best concept (though the designs are meh) with that is in One Piece.
>>
>>291410576
I hate it really. I don't even care if it makes other characters racist against the non humans if your main guy is one, it might actually make it more interesting that way unless they just resolve it all within the first hour, or make it come off way too obviously like a reference to human racism.

Is someone ever going to make an RPG or what have you where you play as insectoids, snakes or birds? The insects could have great bonuses in wielding many weapons at once with all their limbs, you could have armored snakes and shit. Birds could be like the assassin class that soars down and take people out when they don't expect it.

I dont think it would be possible to think of humans as a design without a basis to go off of.
Well, I guess its not technically impossible, but it would be likely. They certainly wouldnt be a thing at least, just a one-off design that happens to match how we look.

Depends on how long you live for.
If you manage to live another 60 years you might see one such game.
