XI had a bit more effort in those races. The animation was done by hand so that's why the tarutarus look a bit cuter than just the child-size lalas. The equipment was also a lot more custom depending on your race. Galkas tail was part of the pants design but all classes have the same legs. Infamous flat buts of ARR dev response comes to mind.

Anyway you can find some solace int he fact that at least these mo-capped versions look more high def?

What would be feasible within their constraints would be giving bigger spectrum of skin hues. I'd love to play as ARR-galka but I can't watch the grey skintones. Please remove the sheet of desaturation from a part of the color scale so we could see more variety on the fields!
