People wanted to play male Miqo'te, female Highlanders, female Roegadyn, and now that they've fixed that and are allowing it they want to start over again with the same issue?
Viera would be a poor choice to introduce in my opinion as well because there is already an animal-human race. I love Viera, don't get me wrong, I just don't think they have a place in Eorzea.
I concur, while I would love to see the introduction of Nuu or Banga I don't think they have a place in Eorzea, particularly as it would, as you say re-introduce the problems of having a gender specific race which they changed with ARR.
Further, how would these races be introduced to the world? a vassal nation of the Garlean empire that is fighting for autonomy? there are a few ways they could approach it but I would still find it odd not having seen at least the occasional rogue of these races out in the world.
Not to dredge up everyones favorite punching bags but in EQ and WoW both, the races pre-existing as NPC's were more well received or sought after to be playable... why not use the existing pool if they want to add so heavily.
