Oh i'm sure us Highlanders are going to get a lot more popular for the first few months of Stormblood, It's just a shame that there's only really 2.5 races that aren't tiny little girls.

Main reason why this will never happen is because what you ask for is Viera from FFXII and what you will get instead is a human body with rabbit ears and a rabbit tail.
You wont get the Viera from FFXII because that would be extra work for dev team when it comes to making the gear. They would always have to make gear specifically for Viera i.e changing the feat and the hands.
So then why not just make a third clan of Hyur who have the exact same features a Viera have in XII, sans the rabbit bits. That way it potentially appeals to more people (particularly those who do not want permanent animal accessories).
I'd prefer it to be its own race with different facial features and unique lore. I also mentioned how I would like this viera race to have one short clan and one tall clan (like midlanders and highlanders). Although I wouldn't really complain if the viera females were taller than male vieras, like how au ra females are shorter than their male counterparts.

Rarely see Viera depictions with ears down. Something i think can be taken advantage of not needing a large overhaul of head gear ect...
