If Padjal were, by some strange twist of lore, made into a playable race, I would hope to see them looking a bit more mature like Kan-E-Senna or female Au Ra, than the actual Hyur-Children we see from the others.
Very true. There would be an uproar since it is simply impossible to satisfy everyone with just one new race...

But this is Final Fantasy, not WoW. Players are familiar with pretty boys from the many other ''main'' titles in the series. It would be silly to come here and expect dwarves, especially since the majority will never play that race here when they can play cat girls or man dragons.
