If FFXIV were to have a new race added, it's obvious it's going to have to be humanoid that we can customize hair and beards. Problem is to make it somewhat unique and adding a feature to a human model is too boring. How about changing a facial feature, but keeping its human facial shape so beards and hair can still be used. For example these insect human hybrids from an old toy line I use to play with as a kid called Sectaurs. They are humanesque with bug eyes and antennas.



They are somewhat unique when it comes to human hybrids because it changed a feature instead of just adding a feature.

If bugs aren't your thing, then how about alien greys. Just add hair and mustache abilities to be able to customize and there you go. They are kind of creepy, though.
