Hmm... That's a tough question, because this really depends on the setting.

Like, I am so glad they added male Miqo'te in FFXIV, because when we do start to play the game this summer, I will finally be able to play as a full-on cat! They look so cool and agile and it's gonna feel so great being a cat

Now, when I first played Baldur's Gate, I was very much an elf guy, but since then I grew tired of them, and now mostly play humans. But Half-orcs are probably my favorite D&D race because I do like to play as big guys and the tragedy of their existence is pretty moving. It also helps that all the half-orcs in the D&D based games were incredibly well-written and likable. This is why I am now playing as an Aumaua in PoE.

From the Ivalice races, Viera are a pretty obvious choice, but I find that I really like the Seeq when they get introduced in FFTA2. I love the four jobs that they have available, and I can't help but chuckle at the fact that they're the fastest race despite being a bunch of fat pig-men XD

In general, I think I prefer the bulkier races and animal features. Yeah, I think that's a good way of putting it.
