- ok ok, you are valid too, but consider the number of options you have for human-like, petite, pretty female characters
and the number of options the other side has
see the difference now?

But we already have Au Ra.

Wait until you find out about other races sharing a skeleton.

Unlike female miqo, au ra and midlander, which totally aren't the exact same thing just with different ears....

Ngl I'd love a LoTR/WoW style dwarf, or even something like gnomes/halflings from DnD. Vox Machina nailed it with characters that are short but still very clearly adults

But, it's far more likely we'd end up with something like ...the Elin

That's probably the only thing that would get me to unsub forever. The absolute freaks Elin attracted made Tera completely interminable. To this day the worst game community I have ever seen, even worse than LoL, CS, or any game on BNET.

Unfortunately since the first already has "dwarves" we're likely not going to see them in the game (yeah yeah it could be handwaved by just naming swaps but I don't see it)

Plus, with the niche that we're missing it should be a little (demi)beast race.

For humans & (demi)beasts we've got:
The average and basic: Hyur/Miqo'te
The elegant, and long of leg/ear: Elezen/viera
The big and bulky: Roegadyn/Hrothgar
The small and spritely: Lalafell/???

I would've said hummingway would've fit there, but then lopporits happened~

Au ra are outliers adn should not be counted.
(maybe since their designs are supposed to be closer to voidsent/tieflings than dragons, maybe give them a counterpart that's more sineater/aasimar inspired? With a reversed dramatic sexual dimorphism? Have the females look like that one sineater that [REDACTED] that one npc in THAT scene, and then have the males resemble male miqo'te/viera with wings for ears? Could take feather design from pheonixes so they can get confused for another animal too :])

I remember hearing a story about the Elin, how the Japanese fans asked for a school swimsuit and the devs were like 'uh..really?' and they made it, and it sold like hotcakes.

Lalafells already look quite a bit like the Elin. And there absolutely are freaks who are into them in all the wrong ways. I have stumbled upon that kind of content when searching something completely different a few times before and it left me deeply disturbed. And that's not even getting into all the thirst for Alisae...

Better take a closer look at it. It's not the female Roe body. It's the female Highlander body scaled up in size.

I think that plus the racial attire minimizing the appearance of the breast size is what's making some players refer to as a second male Hrothgar. If we took the time to view it in armor that's a little more friendly to female curves, there would be less concern.

There are enough freaks in this world that just about everything have someone into them in all the wrong ways.

For people who've been playing the game for a decade, Alisaie should be an adult by now. This weird time bubble/"everything is done in a single year" is awkward.

Yeah but like, it was omnipresent in Tera. You could be off in some zone with 20 people in it, glance over at at your muted global chat channels out of morbid curiosity, and still find people being weird about elins in the public channels. I've seen that happen here on occasion but like.... 3 times total in 10 years as opposed to near daily in Tera.
