Nope, that is a Viera concept art, they made alot of races, the Au Ra one, is the one with the strong looking females with horns. One of those concept arts even has the name Viera on it.

Because Viera fits the desert theme perfectly, Viera are based on rabbits or hares obviously and they can easily be found in the desert, though they can be found everywhere else too!...

It would be a pity if SE didn't introduce them in Stormblood!...

There is a interview of Yoshi-P with Famitsu and he says there that 4.0 will have no new race, the next race might be added in 5.0.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward The Art of Ishgard Stone and Steel; pages 284 and 285. "Au Ra concepts- The Viera." It is Au Ra concept art.

Along with: Au Ra Concepts - The Viangaa; Au Ra Concepts - Beastly; Au Ra Concepts - Demonic/Draconiac. I mean, I know the Viera were in FF12, but those images are from the Au Ra concepts and shown in the 2014 Fanfest keynotes.

Maybe the Viera was an idea to be the Au'Ra at first (like how Mithra now is named Miqo'te). But they made them into dragons instead.

This is exactly what happened. They likely had core lore and names down while deciding on appearance.

And a Viera inspired look was one of the first and heavily delved into designs besides the lizard-demons we got in the end.

Derp. No new race is quite a disappointment. Even if I didn't end up liking the race, more player diversity is always exciting. I sure do hope they beef the character creator then but they've never said a single thing about that (I don't think. Just fan mumblings, right?) so I won't get my hopes up.

Now I'll just look forward to job reveals then.
