[dev 2.0] request - make males manly

You need look no further than the male elves forum avatars for an example of how unmanly males tend to look at this time.

No. You use manly races to get manly chars. Let me have my fragile-looking char in peace.

Irony of the Lalafell?

I would say, leave it be... If you wanna have a manly character go for a Highlander or a Roegadyn, or if you want a middle ground go for the Midlander. I wonder where Lalafells fit in this lol...

They could add the option to customize bodies...like in Aion and Perfect World. That way if people want to make an elegant elf they can..or if they want a buff one..can do that too. I really hope this is how customization will be in 2.0. Every race imo should have some specific characteristics that make it unique..but also please SE let us customize our bodies a bit more.

Generally speaking elven characters depicted in a high fantasy setting tend to be on the effeminate side. I wouldn't expect someone wanting to play a manly-man type character to be looking to an elf as his avatar. That said, I would not be against the addition of a few more masculine options available to the elven males in 2.0.

Even with "Manly" body types the emotes could be...questionable at times I mean what is with the new /happy emote for Elzen lol.

My character looks like he just seen a pride parade and wants to join in, quickly realises how odd he look and mans it up with a dual fist-pump.

My Elezen is f'ing hot, tyvm.

I think Elezen emotes are more of a "I don't give a shit" attitude more than fem.

Oh I agree, I just think when people point that out to SE they go overboard with the next set of emotes.

/dance = I hate my life

/happy = (Litteraly) Embrace the world!

The Japanese never have been good at making males look manly. They seem to live in an effeminate world.

WTF is looking manly? A man is defined by his actions not looks....

True, but we're talking about looks here, not the rest.

Random gay bodybuilder? Would you rather it be a gay random skinny guy that doesn't look like he could intimidate a butterfly? Wait, you already answered..

^ This please. I'm tempted to go with the dragonkin race if not.

...and while the dev are at it how 'bout more manly women too:P

teasing.

I think things are fine with the current races+ the new ones to be introduced with 2.0. As many have said, if you want a 'manly character there are races that are more brawny etc.

Square Enix definitely needs to add more character customization options - I think that's the main issue.

1) Additional hairstyles & facial hair settings.
2) Additional facial archetypes.
3) Customizable body-types for people who want thin, moderate, or muscular characters.
4) Option to make an older, more mature-looking character that isn't hideously wrinkled.

Roegadyn and highlander females?

I would probably pick a female human character if there was adjustable breast and glute size. I would also lock my bedroom door when I play.:)

Exactly why I play a female character, lol. But then, I don't lock my bedroom door.

I think resources are better spent elsewhere. I am not a dev on the team or know what it takes to make armor fit the different bodies. It could very well be a lot of work to add a lot more body types. Anyway this can all be done through armor, not the body its self. I think with the right armor the taller races look plenty manly.

I think the midlander males look a little too feminine. I don't want to play a beefcake highlander or anything: I just want a guy that looks like a guy.

some people prefer the girl man types, i dont, but i didn't pick one for my character either though. For 2.0 i hope to see more of a variety within the races them selves though.

No. Make them more emo looking.

We need at least... 36 kinds of beards :/

Or you know, just have different options available maybe (like there is already). Not everyone wants to look like your definition of 'manly'.

But if your definition is muscular then there's already two races that fulfill that criteria; roe and highlander. If you don't want to look like you're on steroids then there's midlander and elezan. Midlander actually is quite muscular compared to people you go out and see every day in the street and you can even have a beard. D:

This is a Japanese game.

Japanese focus groups brought us Vaan and Raiden.

You have your epitome of manliness (Roegadyn) and the lite version (highlander), compromise achieved. JP's want feminine figures, deal with it.

How about we delete Lalafells instead, they are a) creepy b) childish especially in looks and c) function as the black hole of manliness automatically devouring any from nearby surroundings rendering these other proposed changes meaningless.
12-31-2011, 04:10 AM

If you want a man manlier than the average man just make a Highlander or Roegadyn

And what do you guys talking about Elezen and not looking manly?
I mean do he look unmanly?

I don't know what your talking about Picard. My elezen looks cut when I take my shirt off. Seriously, like I've been doing sit ups for the last 5 hours. All the Miqo'te want to rub oil on it and rest their head there like it's a pillow. Now go back to your Lalaness!
