I'd like to create a thread about opinions and discussions of Square Enix adding new races to the game.

I personally vote for a race a lot like the Viera from FFXII, which I find is a lot more of a fan service than the Mithra/Miqo'te we have today. And it seems like SE is pretty much trying to recreate the game, so why not recreate recycled FFXI races?

So what do you guys think? Should there be an array of new races and drift away from FFXI? Or should they take the time to redesign the current races and keep the FFXI feel?
