So...Yugiri

Or you know, this could be an entirely new race concept not seen in any other Final Fantasy game? I think it's WAY too early to rule this out just yet.

Unlikely, because then it would be x race found from some other MMORPG or offline RPG series which means it's not "new" at all because FF has a few reptilian races and even a draconian race, so why wouldn't they just use them?

When FFXI came out, it featured three races never before seen in FFXI lore: Galka, Tarutaru, and Mithra (though it could be argued that there's a resemblence between Tarutaru and other "little people" races in FFXI lore). I don't count Hume or Elvaan, as they're basically just a rename of humans and elves, found in nearly all other FF games.

I was disappointed to learn that FFXIV was just rehashing the FFXI races, when I was hoping they'd be featuring something new. They have a chance to do this now. Yugiri MIGHT represent a known FF race, or she might be something totally new. It's too soon to tell, but I kind of hope for the latter.
