New Races or locales Incoming?

I haven't heard too much more about a new race incoming since before 2.4.(All I remember is the new enemy, Nath or something, and they look just like the Urutan Yensa from FF12...) I can't help but wonder if SE plans on adding original races that we've never seen before, or implementing some of the old races we're familiar with like Viera(FF12's Fran) or maybe the lizard guys or possibly even Garleans? (Should that make any since story wise.) And what of locations? I heard about Ishgard but is that an entirely new region as large as our current selection? If so, then that means they're capable of quite a bit. Personally I'd like to see a place like Bhujerba, Archades or Midgar at some point in the future. Don't know if I'm out of the loop or not, but does anyone have any new information regarding anything?
