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

Just kidding. But, it gets me thinking, has any mmo yet offered a player race that wasn't two-armed fully erect bipeds? Playing around more with the morphology of playable races might be more work for armor designers, but it's an interesting though. Imagine playing as a quadrepedal race for example, or as a lamia/merrow race with a tail instead of legs.

Why not? ^^. Give hyur some pony ears, a long tail, various skin colors and wings/horn, put your own tattoo on their flank and you got "My Little Pony: Eorzea is magic". I totally swear, subscription numbers will heavily increase! >: D

or as a lamia/merrow race with a tail instead of legs.

Still hoping for some kind of playable lamia race. You dont even need to create an entire new race. Just give Au Ra the option to choose between legs or long tail : )
