What is the benefit

[Canadane]

We have fat chocobos flying for cake and we can dress up in pig suits. Lore went out the window a long time ago.

Pig suits aren't exactly lore breaking.
And are you saying you wouldn't fly for a nice piece of cake?

People won't always get what they want. But many people have been asking for a bestial race for a long time now. Ever since the initial 1.0 player poll back in the day.
And now we finally get it. SE listened to the players, just not the loud ones today.

I was more or less giving examples of some ridiculous things seen in game. If the cake was good enough though I would definitely find a way.
