I've complained (and caught a lot of flak) about how basic the race designs in FFXIV basically since the beginning. I wish they all had a bit more going on to make them more than just humans with extra bits (even if fundamentally they'd all still be humanoid) but... yeah, like I said last page, they're not going to change their designs at this point. Maybe next MMO we'll see these concepts realized with a modicum more creativity...
