They also don't need to redesign the current races, they have a good amount of FFXI feel with enough freshness that its still new.

This post, my opinions etc etc.
This is not the same world as FFXI. Prior to XI it was very rare that any character was not Human. off the top of my head I can think of Mog Yeti Kimari Vivi and The wierd Chef Guy/Girl.

Being a new world I think it's a good idea to expand upon the races. Using the Vierra would be a nice starting point seeing as they are very popular. I just hope SE keep it Highly Humanoid. Miqo'te is about as far toward Animal-like I want to see. I'd rather the new races be people with animal traits rather than Animals with human traits.
