Not that I disagree on the point of NOT having more childlike races, but I don't think we have a lot of, 'Cute Short,' races in the game as is. Lalafell (Depending on your definition of, 'Cute') and Female Au Ra. Out of the 12 possible race-gender options, only 3 fit into that category.

Like I've said before, I'll welcome tall beastly female Viera amazons, and smaller, more refined looking males. An opposite of the Au Ra, basically.

Aye, seconded. They set a precedent with the level of Sexual dimorphism that was used for AuRa. To balance the scales as they say, the reverse should be made an option aswell. Plenty of the male character options can look fairly effeminate, however a race in which the males of that said race are more influenced as such, would add not only a great option but be fairly unique in the mmo landcape.

However i would also like more options for the current races aswell.

A true Facial Hair option for males. This is a standard SE, it's absence is far to long running.

Separation of horn and face styles for AuRa, with the dropping of ps3 support this is much more viable.

More sub race options for all existing races, Hyur are the only examples of diversity of body builds regarding races at the moment. Why Elezen can't have Half Elves now that Ishguard is in the alliance and all their secrets laid bare is silly. It would literally be just a Hyur with pointy ears and Elezen animations. On this note the same could be said of Xaela being primed as a Matriarchal society and there Females being made exactly the same as their Raen cousins.

If the dev's don't want to design both tall and short clans, I wouldn't mind having taller females and shorter males. As long as it still looks like the concept art.

Aye, I still wanna see that desert/arctic pairing work out somehow with the viera. Desert bunny, arctic bunny... it could work!

Wishful thinking, unless SE redesigns every piece of gear for Miqo'te and Au Ra first (destroy the clipping issues).

What I meant was that the only option for short races is something childlike in appearance and waifu's (which arguably automatically = cute. Especially with their emotes). If Viera were to be added and the males were to be short, I'd rather them not be childlike in appearance. That would be weirder (and possibly more off-putting) than Au Ra's.

Viera are nice and all. I would play as one if they become a thing but I think something a bit more beast like would be better. Also no children playable. That's a can of worms I would not like to see opened.

I'd love to see that, and if I had the talent to draw landscapes and whatnot, I'd totally try and sketch it out.

If you're talking about the viera ears, I don't think it will be a big problem. They'll just clip out of the headgear, but it's not a big deal. In fact, there's a lot of headgear items for miqo'te that I like, but it covers their ears... I'd actually wish the ears would just clip through sometimes.

In any case, I do believe there should be adjustments to clipping. Buuuut I also don't want that to stop viera from becoming a thing. Fix it in post.

As you're an Au Ra, look for someone (or ask someone you know) who has the Filibuster Hood and then try it on.
