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

[Ghastly]

Are we all in elementary school here? Races aren't 1 dimensional
They're not cute or fierce. You can be a cute male roegadyn or a cute male elezen. You're all going into extremely subjective labels here. Anyway they already made male and female viera concepts. You can call them both cute or both fierce, it really doesn't matter as long as the race is going to be well received like the aura were (a lot even switched/switch to aura). Viera clearly won the race poll (beating out the Aura). If Yoshida cares about the fans as he claims they should be the next race.

I think is was quite clear what I meant. Lalafell men, while cute can look somewhat like small men with potato bodies, but they can never be on the level of a rather mean looking male Au Ra due to the way they are designed. Can you show me a male Au Ra that is even close to being as cute as a Lalafell? That's the difference between a "cute" race, and a rather "fierce" one. If we can get more customization options with height sliders that actually scale quite a large amount and a variety of face types that aren't rather samey so we can have both, I'd be more than happy with that. What are the chances of that happening though?

Also, Yoshida can care about his fans without appealing to their every whim and demand, that's when you get games that are nothing but fanservice junk. The concept art of Viera doesn't really matter, we all know how different the actual thing can look to concepts. Take the Au Ra concept art, this is what I consider to be "fierce" and would have been a nice change from what we currently have:

You can see where they changed it to look more human, but even then they were much more original than what we have now.

Personally I'd rather see a dragon race, we have the Au Ra but Yoshida hinted at those being more succubus like, so the option for a dragon-like race is still open, and would make far more sense lorewise than Viera would.
