A beastman race would break the lore of the game. Level 1 Baanga floating in the light of the crystal soon to be the hero of man? I don't think so. I like that beastmen are tribal and attuned to their spirituality and seperate from the races of man. It would be a disservice to their concept in my opinion.

I wouldn't mind a more beastial race for sake of players who want one but I personally have no interest. Ivalice Moogles would make sense as an option but would they be a different race that in game Moogles but the same species. Like lions vs house cats?
