While I think Viera are interesting, I'm in Yoshi-P's boat when it comes to my opinion on what we need next: A beastmen-esque race. Yoshida has been pretty firm on his stance that he thinks we need a lizard-like/beastmen race added in before others.
I'd rather the community have variety, and adding a beast-like race would bring just that. It's a new perspective, especially when it comes to roleplay. Of course, while I could never see myself playing a race like that as my main, I wouldn't mind having an alt. I guess what I'm getting at is I'd like to see more beastlike races mingling around in Eorzean society.
It kinda seems like the Mamool Ja from XI that we saw pop up are kinda fitting into that role, NPC wise. While we see them out in the world, and they're hostile, there's actually a few Mamool Ja NPCs inside Limsa Lominsa browsing the markets and what not, which means they most likely not only know the common Eorzean tongue, but they're perfectly capable of coexisting amongst Eorzeans in a peaceful manner.
My vote is all for Bangaa, but playable Mamool Ja would be neat as well.
