Not gonna lie the no4 Lala actually looks a hell of a lot better proportionate wise. Truth is that I don't think we need any more races in the game to be fair we got enough and while they're adding Hrothgar and Viera, I think once they EVENTUALLY get pestered into adding the opposing gender's of both races that they turn to fixing some of the minor asthetic issues with the other races.

just another small bump

Nice Rokurokubi Cosplay

But fr, I can't help but feel somewhat cast aside when they add new species...

And we get no fix-ups to the ones we have.

There was a report I came across showing how the Elezen female's thigh collapses in certain sit poses.

Just wish they'd clean up some of these things, and I dream of alternate models for all the species, but... sigh.

Well, Yoshi probably thinks the playerbase is attached to these little "quirks" on the characters models and would be upset if they suddenly changed them. :v Same reason we won't ever get updated faces since people are so attached to the old ones.

Why not give an alternate model option? Don't take away the old one, just offer another customization "body model" option. They don't have to add new races every time they want to make a better-looking model.

Still keeping this alive

i wish we had more diversity in faces. for most of the male races your choice of face is on one end of a spectrum.

Simple: they would have to fit armor to the old and new models, basically doubling the workload. Blizzard kept the old models around for a period after the revamp but eventually they ditched them completely, probably for that exact reason.

I don't think we need completely new models or faces. They are cute as is. More face options would be nice and they could smooth out some of the rough edges a bit but in general the char models still look and feel great.

If we ever get HQ textures we will definitely need better models, only blind players will not see how block-like or squared current ones are.


Even older games have had their models vastly improved when remastered so don't say current models are good because they are dated and ugly looking!...

Still keeping this going
