The problem with added a new race is how would SE do it? this is not wow where you level up many class on other race. In ffxi and in FFXIV the game is lock by storyline and lock by your race the person you are is the person the game get to know you as. If your a elvaan in ffxi and switch from monk to Red mage you still this person/ race. If they do add new race it should only be the female and male version of the race we have today. Allow us to switch race for free for a limit time only for players who been playing the game 1before from this update.
