I think it made sense for Yoshi to use that as an example. I mean, Akihiko Yoshida did most of the artwork for this race, already, and it's one of the more notable final fantasy races to be 'demi-human', I suppose.

If they decided to add another race, it would probably be something 'cute', and not overtly...well, like op's pic. That's really not helping the case of 'oh my god lonely mans fantasy'.

I'm curious if they'd just make their own new race for the setting, or if they'd pull a race from another game.
