God forbid SE want to add something that isn't "human with animal ears/horns taped on." Most MMO's have at least one playable beast/monstrous type race, I could easily see Yoshida wanting to incorporate something like that into the game if he wants to.

There is certainly a median they can find between full on playable beastman but not pretty human with animal ears. Something like Bless' Pantera come to mind that are certainly different enough from miqote but still human enough to not be extra work getting armor to fit.
