Three of the playable races are basically humans with some modifications or additions. Elezen and Roegadyn are farther away from humans than Miqo'tes are. Elezen don't just have pointy ears, but also alien proportions. Long necks and extremities.
Roegadyn have very square facial traits and heavy torsos (though their females look more normal). Lalafell are basically anime gnomes. But the Miqo'te? They are humans with cat tails and ears strapped to the appropiate body parts. Take that away and they would just be humans with weird eyes or teeth depending on their clan.
I made a Miqo'te because some other people were and they needed a family member. The family RP prospect seemed like fun, and that's all the reason one needs to do anything in a game, really: fun!
