First off, I'm a human and as a human I'm all in favor of humanity.
For a few years in FFXI I played a Mithra and I don't think anyone really understood me when I said I didn't feel like a cat. >.> It was always weird to me when people started playing with her tail or licking me everywhere. In role-play I ended up seeing her as more of a comic relief type character and when I tried to fit her into a serious role it just didn't come together for me. So when she was level 63 with 80 alchemy I ditched her for my Hume character.
I like the versatility Hyurs give and I don't feel so locked into having to act a particular way (or having people treat me a certain way). My only complaint about FFXIV is that there is not enough diversity with Hyur females. I don't want to be a hulking Highlander Hyur chick but I don't think "big nose or small nose" and "big lips or small lips" is enough to convince me that everyone is really unique.
