With the rumor/hopeful mill abuzz with the potential addition of Viera as a playable race one would think that I would be more excited. I mean, I like women and I like bunnies so combining them should be an all around win-win right? I'm not against them being playable, but it got me thinking about why we can't have a distinct non-humanoid race. If you're gonna pick a race from Ivalice to use then why not the Bangaa or even the goofy looking Nu mou or moogles?

As it stands all the races we have simply look like humans with extra bits stuck on to make them different. Even the Potatoes-That-Walk resemble human children more than a separate race. I know people just want to get their kawaii on with the cat/lizard/potato(/bunny) girls, but can't we have something that is very distinctly not human?
