To be more fair in 2019 we were told "No more new Races". That female Viera and Hrothgar were the last.

YoshiP stated in 2019 "In a Fan Festival keynote speech, I stated that this will likely be the last time we add new playable races to FFXIV. To put it simply, a tremendous amount of time and resources are required to develop one. I’m sure you all understand that a new race will require new faces, hairstyles, bodies, and other assets. In addition to this, they need to be capable of equipping all existing items—this alone requires a massive commitment of resources."

Now we have the male Viera and the plans for female Hrothgar. This indicates to me that he does try to listen and gives where and when he can. Goes to show you can't please everyone.

They even rolled out recently a few hairstyles for the new races. I have to admit some of them were ugly, and just didn't fit the races. I was expecting a few more unique styles for each race, more than already existing hairstyles. I think they rushed to try to please the demands of the player base I'd much prefer for the devs to take their time to produce pleasing results and not a rush job that this seemed to have been. There is just too many who want to jump to assumptions, while kicking and screaming. It's just not the way to go about it to get results and you're not going to get everything you want, all the time, so don't expect to.
