I just wish they had a race that was one of the 'beastmen' or something that looked very non-human.

That's my dream, but I doubt it will happen due to all the armor and weapons...and animations that they'll have to do for a new skeleton. Just more variations of Hyur tend to get boring if that's all they are going to do in the future. And Varia are basically just Hyur with bunny ears glued on their head.

And that's all we'll EVER get so please add them for people that do want them.

Or don't add any new races at all if no effort is going to be put into them and instead use the Viera physique on existing races for a third clan (Elezen or Miqo'te) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which will work better, Varia are basically just taller Miqo'te with bunny ears instead. Make a third clan for them and the other races and everyone gets something.

Or we could save resources and just glue bunny ears to a Hyurs head ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey! maybe we could get an extra dungeon out of that deal, or maybe some cool new game features

They really said that? Well shit...

no no no no no no JUST NO. As has been said many time (even by YoshiP) They are too close to the Miqo'te and the Au Ra. Way do people want yet another human with one or two animal parts (thought here they would most likely take the Elezen/Lalafell body and slap the ears on that)? We could get something different like the Ronso or the Rat people from 9 ya they are "cute" but that's the point, this game is overflowing with cute which is odd when you look at how dark some parts of it can be.

Can't recall Yoshi P. ever saying Viera were too close to Miqo'te and Au Ra. Can't recall him having ever said anything about Viera before at all.

The reason people want Viera is simple; they have reasonable expectations that function within the limit of the game developer's resources. The creation of a, 'Beast Tribe,' like race would be a drastic change in terms of art assets for models. To put it simply, its far too much work, particularly for a race that only a small minority of the playerbase would hold interest in. If you look at the player polls from before Au Ra, interest in a, 'Beast Tribe,' like race was absolutely minimal.

So not only is it easier to add a race like the Viera for the developers, its also something more players would play.
