I guess one thing to ask is would people be fine with any race if they were willing to drop armor set or such? At the time it seems like the only thing stopping us is because of different foot, leg, body designs but yet we know they can hold weapons just fine, alter or add a few animations and now we have our Ixal Dark Knight. Assuming you were limited to certain sets, I mean to my knowledge the Amal'ja are the same looking from level 8 all the way to 48 minus the fate bosses and even then its a hat. Maybe offer a few choices in color of basic bestial armor, fur and horns but otherwise you can equip all your gear but it wouldn't change your appearance. I enjoy dressing up and glamour myself but when I think on it I think I'd be fine going without if I had the choice of a moogle or any other beast tribe.
