Whatever animalistic race we will get it will be a slightly different Miqo te. Devs already said Japanese players do not like beastly looking races and they making them similar because they will not have to tweak the armor sets to fit on them. Look the AuRa concept and how AuRa ended up. I prefer we won't get any new race. I still have the sense that AuRa didn't blend very well with Eorzea. You don't see many of them as NPCs we don't see their villages or their culture and lore too much. They explained this by making them an "outsider" race but this will not work very well if they do this again. I still prefer more character customisation on the current races rather than a half baked new race.
