More races = $$$. It's not rocket science that mmos do this to increase sales. I get why they struggle with making them, but I still don't get why they outright refuse. There's still niches that aren't fulfilled in FFXIV.

We don't have another small race. Lalafells are all alone. A small rival to go with the Lalafells would be welcome.

We're also missing Lupin, but I guess with the lack of females being seen, I could see that rabbit hole repeating the Viera and Hrothgar situation. Still, It is such a shame they won't want to add at least a few more down the line. The race ideas we have left are incredibly unique and cool. Baanga would be amazing even if they are an incredibly difficult thing to implement.
