I don't think anyone should get the ability to be a more powerful race, this isn't a game with huge racial stats, so it would just be really odd, seeing a Padjal Gladiator, when we all know they are just born from Humes with lots of magical aptitude and long life spans. I just don't see a reason to make the player a really powerful, not to mention politically important race. Padjal aren't only "a race with horns" they tend to rule over Gridania. Also the player isn't supposed to really "have a home" so to speak within one of the city-states, being a padjal says "i'm from gridania, born and raised" that's just anti the whole adventurer sentiment.


Viera I wouldn't mind, but honestly...rather than a new race, I'd almost like the ability to be mixed race. Makes much more sense that we've been mixing it up, than we find a totally new race in the world, without them being some OP god race or something man made , meh, but then again I'm not sure if two races mate, if the kid just comes out looking like one race with minor genes from the other, i think that's how it is they always look like the mother, and get some genes from dad or something :/ bummer.
