What's the point of Basch, Balthier et al in FFXII? Boring! Why wouldn't you want to play a Moogle/Bangaa/Seeq?" When in reality, literally nothing would have been enhanced by their being any other race. (Well, Vaan might have been a little more bearable. /tongueincheek)
The fact that there weren't any Bangaa party members in FFXII still haunts me to this day. YOU THINK I'M KIDDING? I AM NOT KIDDING.
I would've liked more diversity, too! In a world with a number of colorful races, they ought to be used. I think the point I was trying to make is that if Balthier were a Bangaa, it wouldn't instantly make him a better or more interesting character. Similarly, none of our Hyur would be enriched by changing to Miqo'te or vice versa.
But I think the OP is long gone, so.. I'm likely preaching to the choir at this point.
