I'd agree if it weren't for two things:

1. They aren't the same races, just heavily inspired by them. (Though I'm sure bunny girls will be different too should they be added anyway. But that brings me to my next point.)

2. FFXIV is the spiritual sequel to FFXI. The fact that they use similar races is totally understandable. It reflects on our expectations brought on by the other Final Fantasy MMO. Taking a race from a different game is not the same, they don't have the same connotations that FFXI set for us as a Final Fantasy MMO.
