To be fair, Yoshi-P's team did not create the five races. That was Tanaka's team and they based them off of the FFXI races. The only races Yoshi-P's team has worked on is: Female Roegadyn, Female Highlander, Male Miqo'te and the Au Ra.

Also, you could easily make Viera a third clan for the Miqo'te. Just make them taller, have longer ears and no tail (because a stub isn't going to be seen under all of that gear).
