I'm also going to have to ask how this:

Works as a response to why I find different flavours of humans boring.
It's not a response. It's a statement as to why "More of the same" would not be the tragedy some feel it is. What i pay for and continue playing the game for is the continued quality of the existing races and those of similar form in the telling of that narrative.

Some hate the Waifu look of female characters, that's fair it's what was brought over from FFXI. The teen edge to much from the guys side? Yeah sometimes ( i hate little kid main characters so it helps i get to look like an adult as a Highlander) i really hate some of the style we get (Scion quest reward gear looks like something my 13 would wear to school), however the options i have for my avatar are acceptable.

The series as a whole has never been one to give players the option of more bestial characters (eh.. i guess chocobo dungeon works right?). Expecting that option from them is basically playing a mmorpg when in the mood for a first person shooter. In the end finding yourself bored with the games races/ setting is an issue you have to contend with/ justify paying for.
