Last two races speculation thread
We've talked about it in the discord a bunch, but what are your hopes and/or speculations on what the final two races will be!?
My top hopefuls currently in no particular order are: dragonkin or any kind of reptile humanoids, some type of avian humanoid, an aquatic influenced race, shape shifters, and my biggest hope has become tiny little kitsunes.
Given the current races we know, I'm not sure how realistical any of those are, but that's my list.
As far as what I think they will actually be, and not just a hopeful list I really can't come up with something. I feel like they've covered the usual fantasy mmo races, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for something out of the ordinary!

if this is correct my guess is half-elf and half-human and other two classes I wish there is something cute and small like <em>Gibberlings</em> from Allods Online and another one should be the undead.
As races I’d personally like to see a smaller feline-styled race (perhaps <strong>foxes</strong>), <strong>LIZARDMEN </strong>YES PLEASE, a smaller slender race with close relationship to nature like <strong>pixies </strong>or <strong>fairies</strong>, a spectral but in game somehow physical race like <strong>jinns</strong>, <strong>genies </strong>or <strong>wraiths</strong>.
Lorewise I like Grisu's idea of a race originating from the otherside trying to immigrate into the new world. The only thing I'm desperately begging for is pls no <strong>demons</strong> or <strong>vampires</strong>.
I would also be very open to something like a wrath/jhin like you mentioned. Personally I want anything that's EeEexXxxXxxoooOoOottticC
From my previous list Jinns are my favourite race to be nominated into the game. They could be for example elves or humans who have achieved the higher self by ascending to the spiritual realm. So the jinns would be able to walk both ways between our physical world and the spirit realm which would be why we have jinns in the realm of Ashes. In the class's perspective jinns would excel as mages and summonners.
Other race I would like to see is undead: evasive wraiths as melee warriors and dps, zombies covered by armour as tanks and skeletons as mages and archers. Or, if that's too much modelling and animation to do, at least skeleton with armour as melee and with cloaks as mages.
From what I read earlier: Lizard-people could be interesting (by this I mean that they are interestingly done, with tails having actual functions, and not basically reskinned human with oversized heads, like TES' argonians) .
Evolving into a djinn would be cool... it could be a weekly event: 10vs10 battles in a Colosseum and all the players from the #1 party would become djinns (with increased stats or new abilities) for a week, until the next event. Or even 1vs1 with top ranked players getting the reward.
Not a fan of cat-people, winged or very small creatures (fey).

Just make it an animal race, and not a human if they do it. **** like characters are totally unnecessary, and I don't want them.
Do some of you remember AD&D Dragonlance with the Draconians? In that direction I would like to see them go.
When they say 2 of a race I bet they mean one is male and one is female; which means the Dwarves will only be male and perhaps the same with Orcs; which also leads me to believe the other 2 races will be female.
I like feline races, I like female dwarves. Guess we will see.
That's all I'm asking for.
1. Similar to Argonian
2. Some sort of Gnome or Goblin
No more shoehorning, no more shortcuts. No whining about how hard it is to make armor for character models with two genders, or animation, none of it. It is a game designers job to create things, it is their job to build, to dare I say, design. They get paid for it, all I want is for them to at least work for the money we are obviously going to give them.
This game looks absolutely AMAZING, not just graphic-wise, but concept-wise. It's a huge task that they set for themselves, all I want is for them to take it a little further, just a little bit past what everyone else does. Let's get wild with the races, give me a skeleton, give me beefy girls who could bench press me and my friends, give me thin or fat men who look like they would break if they even tried to lift a sword. I don't want to see another game where I have to be an oversexualized woman to cast black magic or use a scythe, nor do I want to see another game where I have to be a beefy man to use a greatsword.
Don't do what Elder Scrolls and most every other MMO does. You can be a generic human.. Or a generic human with slightly different colored skin.. Or the same model except with some pointy ears.. Lets give it slightly different skin and call it another race of elf. Lets give the same model a cat head. Lets give the model some fangs and wrinkles.
No no no.. Please be more creative. Say what you want about the recent eastern MMOs, but they nailed unique race design. Take Tera or Bless for example. They have huge bulky broad-shouldered races that look barely humanoid. They have short round and bouncy animal races that are straight up not humanoid. They have normal human races, tall slender races, short slender animal hybrids, you name it. All can be identified at a glance, move in their own way, have a distinct silhouette and model.
You don't even have to look to eastern MMOs. I feel like Wildstar, Guild Wars 2, and even to an extent WoW have some good race diversity.
Sure, you can appreciate the "classic" fantasy races; your humans, dwarves, and elves. But I would hope you don't pad out the roster by doing pallet swaps or adding little details here and there. If I see more than 2 types of elves I'm gonna jump off a building. 1 would be ideal.

Here, here!
Please make male and female of all races. One race I know I'll never see as playable that interest me are centaurs. Loved the Ratongas of EQ2, even the Foxes (NPCs) in BDO would be fun. Heck, even makes us Badgers, those are vicious little creatures.
