Here's an idea; how about Ronso as a playable Race?

Well, Ronso are pretty much as inhuman-looking as Amal'ja and Ixali. So why do Amal'ja and Ixali qualify as "Beastmen" when this new race joins us as "non-Beastmen"?

I think theyre called BeastMEN because theyre violent savages living in huts. Dont think it has anything to do with how they look but how they act

Sylphs are not violent savages, by nature, yet they are BEAST tribes....
not so much human-like, they are, but are still classified like every other non human-looking tribes in eorzea...

I think it's based moreseo on their ability to adapt to, and live in a human-like civilization. While Sylphs are mostly friendly, the vast majority of them could not adapt to living in a place like Limsa or Gridania. It's not as much as their behavior that's considered beast-like, but their "culture" if you will. *thinks back to Pocahontas*
