Elezen :)

I made an old man Elezen because I've rarely seen the face used. Best decision I made. Love his beard. :3

This thread makes me happy :)

I found 3 to be funny. My game wife changed to Elezen when I did and sometimes we stand around the inn in Gridania posing and chatting. So in that case, you WOULD see two female Elezen together. LOL

Ishgard is one of my favorite cities in the game and it's...elezen!

I really do have an urge to give Elezen a genuine chance, last time I just switched back to Highlander right away because of the animations.
Having spent some time running around with a new character they're not THAT bad.
They still feel a tad stiff in comparison but not on the level I felt at first.

Is there a way you can link your gear with the glam etc to a new character somehow?
I kinda want to see how she looks in my current glam to compare.

Their run is just… gah. But you get used to that, I don’t even notice it anymore. It’s just her run. I look silly when I run too. I can relate :D

I find the rest of the animations extremely beautiful, there’s something regal and elegant about their movements. And very down to earth at the same time, nothing cutesy. Personally I love that, but personal preference is personal. I’m surprised they are so rare, I absolutely love my character.

I think you'd have to make one of your main character's retainers into a copy of your alt and dress them up.

I was actually surprised to see how low the numbers are for Highlanders too.
Part of the reason it's hard for me to pass up on my Highlander is because of the animations, I main MNK and I think the animations fit MNK a lot.
They look a bit heavier and more imposing, if I played a spellcaster I'd probably feel differently tho.

Sadly my retainers are low level, I've neglected them :( ( leveling them now tho ).
But I found this! https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model
Neat online model viewer, sadly low quality tho.

Yeah I fully get that, they suit casters very well, I agree. I’ve only dabbled in SAM when it comes to melee, so I’m clueless there haha. From observation I’d agree some other races suit melee better, better oomph factor there, so I get your dilemma. Stuff like that is personal, for some that kind of contrast is exactly what makes it fun while for others it doesn’t click.

Elezen master race.

The giraffe neck and low shoulders have forced me away from certain gear glamours, though.
