[REQUEST] Can we have a more original race next time?

[kyuven]

Here are the rules for making a new race in XIV:
1) Must be at least somewhat visually appealing to NA AND JP sensibilities.
2) Must fit into all current gear with only minor tweaking. Accommodating for animalistic hands, snouts, and feet is NOT "minor tweaking." Horns, funny ears, tails, and height/build differences ARE minor. In other words, it must be similar to the 5 base races.
3) Must be something a large number of players, not just you, would pay money for.
4) Must be able to legally walk around the 3 main cities.

This means "more animalistic" is straight out because it violates 2 of those (beast tribes are NOT well-liked by the populace of Eorzea, and they'd have to redo all the gear.)
Races that meet this criteria, though, would be the Garlean nobles, Padjal, a variant of the Gria, Viera, and POSSIBLY Nu Mou if they base it on the Lalafell models without making it look creepy as hell.
Basically it either has to have human characteristcs, or be small and cute like the lalafell.
Think within these parameters, and it's more likely to get added.
