Once we're not getting any new races, wouldn't it be nice if Elezen's got an update?

First I'll say this is not a jab at Elezen players, y'all just deserve better quality.

Ill be Frank, the Elezen race has a lot of issues. The most common complaints are that their heads are way too small and their walking animations are stiff. In most other games, elves are insanely popular but in FFXIV they aren't because they look really awkward. There's also a lack of face options compared to other races.

Some might say their small heads are a racial trait. Look at their proportions in the concept art, their small heads are absolutely not a racial trait.

With the dev team wanting to stop with adding more races, I was wondering if it would be possible to update older races, especially elezen. Making their heads a little bigger, adding more varied faces and adding mocap animation shouldn't be too much of a problem I think.

IMHO every race other than Miqo'te and Lalafell need some revamp. Those two are the only really expressive races, everyone else is robotic and stiff or has some kind of ridiculous animation no one asked for.

Maybe they'll get bigger heads with the 7.0 graphical update.

Please look forward to it.

I agree that Elezen are ugly AF. I don't care about the rest

If elezen looked like this I would play one in a heartbeat. I think this is the only game/mmo I've ever played and wasn't an elf race. I was really disappointed at how .. linky and oddly proportioned they were. I don't know much about FF lore but I wish they made an effort to make the races more appealing in general. This game is all catgirls and aura.

It's in their concept art :x

I think all races of the game, new races included, deserve a complete overhaul.

i feel like small heads is just something they lean into. male miqote also, imo, kind of have small heads in comparison to their large shoulders. it makes them look a little awkward. also, a lot of their animals have really tiny heads compared to their massive muscular bodies. it ruins a lot of mounts for me.

ofc, i agree they should fix the proportions of the elezen but not change it too drastically because there are folks who enjoy them as they are
