Don't get me wrong, i would totally love something fresh, new and unique, but you know that the FF-Worlds are connected via Void? If you go by Lore they could basically have Zack go into Gold-Saucer, or Sephiroth go and destroy Al Migho. The Worlds are connected by lore, but out of a Design pov, yes it is "recycled" Design, but absolutely possible due the lore.
^. The FF worlds are all linked but they have their own storylines. They all take place in the same Universe but not necessarily same planet - So Hydal. Tecnically shouldn't have the Reapers (Dragon) from FFVI as a Magitek unit, how can two different worlds create the same exact Magitek model..? How can both encompass the same exact 'Weapon' (Ultima) design? It can't be a 'coincidence'..

This is why Race wise, it's a bit touchy if they add completely new Races because, what would it be? How would it be different than just adding in a race from Ivalice, Gria for example? That way they at least would still be sticking to the same universe like they already have been doing. Originality usually happens between each game through the systems and storyline, while you may find this bad..that's really what RPGs, FF in particular, are known for. ARR doesn't even have its own unique systems in terms of RPG or MMORPGs. So why not actually continue to make this a FF game and utilize races already present if they can make them fit?

Gria is the one race that can fit perfectly in this game.
