I dunno, the tail does not look scaly to me at all, almost looks like layers of fur hence the tuft at the base of the tail rather than the tip. That and the ears dont match any "lizard" I've ever seen. I think it will either be a Viera, one of these guys, or might even be something we have not yet seen in any final fantasy. The last one i mentioned is the one I'm really hoping for. Its nice to have all these nods to older FF games and I love the fan service but I would like to see some Classes, Jobs, and Races that are utterly unique to the final fantasy universe and only exists in THIS one. At least for now.
