That is very likely the most direct way to get that into the game. But are we talking about 4 additional face shapes and a different build that would require new models, or simply one that has a different head? For all the talk of butt sliders, the only way to get a curvy butt would require a change that affects all the models. The Miqo'te players have (jokingly mostly) wanted the 1.0 butt back.

Like I wouldn't put it past the developers in this game going "hey we haven't shown you guys where the (lore reason) races came from yet". We know there's U clan in Thanalan. Where's the rest of them? F, Y and K clans should be somewhere. Perhaps we can find a third clan elsewhere in the world for some of the races that have different facial options. I mean look at Gosetsu, he's a Roe, but he's from Othard and has a significantly different appearance from all the Roe's we've seen.
