honestly it, the few artwork they have shown was quite different of what we have into the game, even the FF12 viera are extremely different of the one we have into the game.

right now for the women we lack the sensual, sexy and mature type. and for the man it was possible to make something more smaller they have tons of way to do it... the fact to have rabbit ear don't make it similar of the miqote because the aura instead to have beast ear have horn...

Bangaa would probably be kinda cool to see, far moreso than Viera, IMO. I mean, I'm all for more cute/attractive races and all that, but I'd prefer to see a wider range of diversity between looks at this point. I guarantee the Viera face would be pretty damn close to human, akin to Miqote ones. So unless they actually made it more animal-like, I'd say let's just forgo that for now and aim for something actually different. It doesn't always have to be about potentially physically (or sexually) attractive standards.
they have said no beastmen type mostly because of armor trouble... plus if you make an ugly race they often tend to be the least played in every mmorpg. people want something pleasing to look... or appealing.
