New Races - The Viera and The Hrothgar [3] Can be created in the benchmark.

Viera - Trailer - Emotes

Of tall stature and slender frame, the Viera's physical appearance is strikingly similar to that of the Hyur and Elezen, save for their distinctive long ears. Adhering to a strict code known as the Green Word, they are prohibited from contact with the outside world under threat of exile. Their society is purely matriarchal, and males of age are seldom, if ever, found within the bounds of any village. They instead serve as protectors of the wood from the shadows, that no evil may ever encroach on their sacred lands. [10]

• Female only [1]
• Two clans

• Rava [10]

Viera of the Rava clan live primarily in the Golmore Jungle, their umber skin allowing them to readily blend in with their surroundings. Though the males stand as wards of the forest, as the females are adept hunters in their own right, fiercely guarding their homes and their young. Despite attempts by the Dalmascans to subjugate them, they have ever maintained a self-governing dominion. Though most would adhere to the tradition of the wood, some few have chosen to venture out into the world. [10]

• Veena [10]

With skin as fair as the snow capped mountains towering above, the Veena clan make their homes in the forests lining the southwestern foothills of the Skatay Range. Like the members of their sister clan, the Veen live as hunters and gatherers, laboring not only to protect the wood, but to nurture them. As the winds of war swept up a number of those who left their mountain homes, many such hardened hunter's chose to set out for the distant shores of Eorzea. [10]

Hrothgar - Trailer - Emotes

Hailing from the distant shores of Ilsabard, the Hrothgar are a burly people of lionlike appearance—or the males are, at least. Females number staggeringly few among their population, and thus are rarely so much as glimpsed by the other races. The Hrothgar's imposing countenance─mitigated not at all by their sharp claws and still sharper fangs—incited panic amongst Eorzeans upon their arrival. As they were also unable to communicate, initial interactions with the common folk often escalated into conflict. It was not until the Hrothgar gained mastery of the common tongue that fears were allayed, and in time they would be as neighbors, welcome in all corners of the realm. [10]

• Male only [6]
• Two clans

• Helions [10]

Hrothgar of the Helion clan are easily discerned from their counterparts by the warm color of their fur. In ages past, they could be found primarily in the southern region of Ilsabard, debout servants of their queen, one and all. Though they themselves had no word to describe their clan, scholars came to call them “Helions” after observing how the people’s lives all but revolved about their queen’s needs, as plants circle the sun. [10]

• The Lost [10]

Unlike their Helion brethren, the Lost have always been a free-spirited people, aptly named for their traditionally nomadic lifestyle unbound by the whims of any reigning monarch. They are known to ply various trades - from seasonal worker to mercenary, to peddler. They are reluctant, however, to undertake duties at odds with their propensity to travel. The cold, wintry colors of their fur are said to serve as a symbol of their independent nature, which drove them far from the warm embrace of their queen. [10]

• Taller than Roegadyn - if they stood upright, but they are hunched over. [8]

• No decision on whether future expansions will include other genders, but they are reviewing player feedback. [9][12]
• Many unique customisable features. [6]
• Both have unique heads. [6]
• Most Helmets will not show on either race - unless they replace the head entirely, like the Fat Chocobo Head. [8]

• Yoshida wants to think of a way to reduce Development costs of this when the team isn’t so busy, so it might be added later. [8]
• Following feedback after the Tokyo Fan Fest, the character team has used their spare time to carefully modify more than 540 items to use on the new races. [17]

• Younger looking playable characters will not be added for ethical reasons. [17]
• Races in the First have different names [6]

• Hyur - Humes
• Miqo’te - Mystel
• Elezen - Elves
• Roegadyn - Galdjent
• Au Ra - Drahn
• Lalafell - Dwarves
• Hrothgar - Ronso
• Viera - Viis

• Built around the Crystal Tower [6]

• Why is there another Crystal Tower in the First, despite the split happening before the Crystal Tower in the Source was constructed? [6]
• Based on the Final Fantasy XIV tech demo from 2005. [7]

Town: Eulmore - Art - Trailer [6]

With its influence extending across the majority of the isle of Kholusia, this powerful military nation once stood firm against the onslaught of the Sin Eaters. Recent years have seen a drastic shift in Eulmore’s position, with the wealthy upper classes turning their backs on the plight of the world, indulging in an endless parade of decadence and debauchery. [10]

• The Firsts version of Limsa Lominsa. [6]
• Rather than trying to fight the end - they accept it and party, but only the rich and affluent are allowed in. [6]
• There is a lot of people that want to get in, but only a selected few are allowed in, and the rest form slums. [6]

• The part of the Full Trailer with Thancred is in the lower levels of Eulmore. [6]

Lakeland - Art - Trailer - Map [6]

A verdant region centered around the Source, the great lake whence it derives its name. Rich in aether, this land has long been held sacred by the elves, its original inhabitants. Nowadays, it falls under the aegis of the Crystarium, mankind’s final bastion in the war against sin eaters. [10]

Kholusia [10]

• Home of the Dwarves [10]

Amh Araeng - Art [1]

It was on the edges of this vast desert, occupying the southern expanse of Norvrandt, that the Flood of Light was halted. Inhospitable from the beginning, it now lies on the threshold of life and all-consuming radiance. [10]

• Tried to get a fantasy feel. [1]
• The town is tilted. [1]

Il Mheg - Art - Trailer - Map [2]

Tucked away in the mountains, this enchanted land was once home to the Kingdom of Voeburt. When men abandoned it following the Flood of Light, it instead became home to the fae folk, the playful and childlike pixies chief among them. [10]

• Home to the Pixies and the Nu Mou [3][10]

The Rak’tika Greatwood - Art - Trailer [1]

Once, long before its towering trees were seeds, in this millenia-old forest stood the royal capital of an advanced magical civilization - the Ronkan Empire. The stony remnants of its lost grandeur can still be spied beneath the shadowy boughhs. [10]

Originally employed by Queen Guunhildr’s personal guard, they were once known as “Gunnhildr’s Blades” and differ greatly from the similarly named weapons used in the Garlean Empire. [10]

• Deals slashing damage [3]
• Use your gunblade to engage targets directly [3]
