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

I feel they should just expand on the options for the current races by adding more face types and extra features for all the faces. This should be done before we consider adding another race in my opinion.

That'll depend on how much dropping the ps3 will free up... or whether they want to change or not. YoshiP di mention there was going to be a large inventory update in 4.0 so theres hope now... right? right? *sulks in corner*

The main issue with expanding what we currently have for character customization is how the game is currently designed.
Almost everything in this game is instanced, dungeons, trials, raids, PvP, even the inside of FC and private houses and rooms. Every instanced area is on a separate pseudo-sever, with all the information one characters has (character creation options, gear, glamour, inventory, tokens, etc.), there's a lot of data that needs to be transferred over every time you go to an instanced area.

Granted, I agree that I would like to see them expand on their current races.

How the game is in it's current state some races have a few more faces than others. They could easily add more faces to at least get it up to par with the others. This would minimally effect the server-load, even with the straw man argument of "PS3 limitations". It's just a crutch they lean on fairly often when they might not have interest in further defining a system already in the game ex. character creation.

I also agree with this.
Vejjiegirl made a thread that showed how many different parts of different races and genders get for customization and asking for there to be an equal amount of option for all the races and genders: Link
And I've made a thread listing different suggestions people have made regarding character customization: Link
