Well at first I thought that it was really cheap of them to recycle the FFXI races slightly modified (bigger Tarus and Tailless Galkas). But then I got used to the idea and don't mind much anymore. I wish they could have been more creative and come up with different races but it's fine as it is still.

I hope they keep their word and add the missing genders though, that would be the very least innovation they could do.
