Posture of Races

Why is it hume and elf males stand with 1 foot propped out? Who in the world stands like this normally? I wanted to be a hume but to me the way they stand seems so abnormal looks so fake. I've yet to see a single person ever stand like that in the real world. There entire posture seems so out of shape. It seems like they just copy pasted the hume posture to the elvaan too it's basically the same. Then they copy pasted it to every sub race within the races. For instance midlander and highlander females stand different. Yet midlander and highlands males stand the same. Same with the elvaan, lazyness SE lazy. Does the way elvaan and hume males stand bother anyone else?

It may not be a "real-wold human" posture, but it *is* an exceedingly popular/common posture in anime (especially for the "hero" type), and it *is* a Japanese-based game...

I can't seem to find any Japanese Anime "Hero" that have posture like this. I went through a list of most popular Japanese Anime Hero's and skipped through a few different anime movies on you tube found under a "Japanese Anime Movie" search and still seen no characters standing like that. For a hero look he doesn't appear to be ready for anything standing like that. Even seems like he leans backwards. Almost like he would fall over backwards. Anyways I couldn't find any anime movies with characters posture the same as this.

I stand kinda like that IRL, unless I'm trying to stand on something pin point. Standing with your feet side by side is terrible for balance. It also makes sudden movement slower to execute. But I am one who's light on his feet, and quick to move as its demanded in my work place, and frequent in my life style.

I see all these red carpet celebrity photos with them standing with their legs crossed, like they have to go to the bathroom but holding it. I always wondered if that was comfortable or convenient, because it's not very attractive.

You stand like this in real life? This doesn't feel like a posture to be quick. It looks very relaxed. With your feet about a foot or less apart, Right foot forward and left foot behind at a angle. The your chest is basically squared off with your right foot facing forward? Then the characters have a slight lean going backwards. I try standing like this and it's way uncomfortable. That could be just a matter of opinions though. When it comes to posture I do believe that all races should be unique though. Why would 2 races, hume and elvaan and there sub races all stand the same? Just like us we are all different wouldn't they be? Lack of game design maybe in that field. The females do stand different depending on races though.

male elezen's standing posture is fine, imo
it gives the grace feeling of the elven race
however, the male hyur, well..
