This is not to say that our ideas are completely ignored, far from it! They're one of the best dev teams out there when it comes to listening to their community, in my opinion. But still, you can clearly see their aesthetic choices and whatnot in their designs. While I agree with what you say, we say this from our culture with our ideas of beauty and whatnot.

What I'm trying to say with this is: They need to please very different kinds of people, and as such, they'll go for the most tame, middle ground option they can. I don't say this to talk down on them, it's just how things are, it's the most logical business practice.

So don't expect anything too risky or too extravagant.
But here's the thing......they have NO SHORTAGE of Options for "Pretty" and "Humanoid" looking Options.
Many people like to (probly just Meme and Troll) come in and basically say we should get Miqote 2.0 or just basically a Bigger Catgirl. This makes no sense, we already have Catgirls, they would have wasted all of this time and resources on Creating "possibly our last playable race to be added to the game" on just a bigger version of what we already have...at that point, why couldn't they just make a New Clan and just upscale the bodies? Instead of Robbing the Hrothgar of a Legit Female Counterpart? They were already Robbed of their Queen being Featured in the Bozja Storyline, now rob them of a Female Counterpart? We have more then enough Human Options...
What we DONT have, is a Fully Female Beastman. And, its not like they havent made these before...like Freya and Female Ronso just as 2 easy and Quick examples. So why cant they do that for an MMO, Devoid of any Non-Human Option? (Besides Male Hrothgar)
They have already appealed to their Main Demographic, and have given people the more popular options, they even put in Viera and Created the 1st Illustration of their Males.
So Branching out into another Demographic that would love something NOT Humanoid/Human-Looking, is more money.....and people like to talk about Money. They'd be missing out if they didnt have a playable Beastrace, BOTH with a Male and a Female Sex/Gender.

Halfassing it and going for the Tame Middle-ground, would be a Bigger Mistake and waste of money, then it would be to Follow through and make a Legit Female Counterpart to the Males.
