FFXIV 2nd expansion: Viera-like race still a possibility?

The issue with the Viera is that, if you look at them, they're basically humanoid save for their long rabbit ears and their heels. We already have a mostly humanoid race with animal ears in the Mi'qote. When we looked at those initial Viera concepts, it just seemed like a Mi'qote with bunny ears instead of cat ears. It simply wasn't different enough. Especially when we did the male designs… they didn't look beastly enough, they were just a little too cute. We wanted to make something that was original to the Final Fantasy series, and to do that, we decided to step away from the Viera.

I mean, the same can be said about the female Au Ra

Wildstar had it down when it made the catgirls and bunnygirls the same race. /justsaying.

- Unfortunately that is a two faction MMO, and it has resulted in there only being two of us in the entire MMO that play on the other faction. Me, and some random guy who plays a hamster and posts on the forums...
(Ok... there's more than two of us. Might even be 3 of us... I'm slightly exaggerating here...)

Kind of like here... Does anyone actually play anything but a catgirl in this game? First game with elves in it I've ever seen where they are actually unpopular...
