I don't necessarily agree with this however because I feel like it's just making a hodge podge race just to appease people. Personally, since I haven't said it yet, my vote is for the Miqo'te only because I think at this junction Viera would be a bad idea and there are plenty of other unique type races they could add without another furry race. Maybe sometime down the road, the second or third expansion, it would be cool to add the Viera, but personally I'd rather see more classes than a new race, and if it were a new race I'd rather see a reptilian one since it's primarily the only thing we have missing from the typical fantasy setup: Human (Hyur), Orc/Half Orc (Roegardyn), Gnome/Halfling (Lalafell), Elf (Elezen), Furry (Miqo'te), Half Dragon (New Race). It would effectively ensure that all grounds are covered for people who love different things about fantasy, though ultimately it all boils down to aesthetics since races in FFXIV don't offer any benefits beyond an almost non-existent stat boost.
I personally think both the races were fine, but it would be too weird to have more fandom with bunny girls when we already have cat people. Plus I think Yoshi-P said he was kind of against it as he didn't like the idea of male Viera.Â
I think if they release a new race at anytime they should just make one from scratch and not pull them from any other universe. I would have personally loved for all new races in 14, but I understand that they were going for familiarity and I'm a sucker for nostalgia myself :3.Â
