I don't play a miqo'te and I wasn't exactly eager about getting into FFXIV with its racial selection the way it is. While it's normal to play humanoids in MMOs, all the races in this game look like ever so slightly altered humans. It's probably my only major hangup with the game but I can get past it, especially since it's more of a visual thing.
The way I see miqo'te they are different enough from the other races while still being a pretty face. I know they get pegged as 'the sexy race' a lot but I don't think that's why most people chose them. I feel like the features of a miqo'te are different enough to feel like they are a separate race but they are also 'human' enough for people to empathize with. Additionally, you don't really see this kind of race in other MMOs. At least I haven't.
My 2c.
