So, why isn't this a thing yet?

Yo, chill, my child. It's not even a deep desire that need to be fulfilled. It would be neat if they could include them. I'm fine either way and I'm sure everybody is fine with that too.

Sorry if I sound harsh. It's just that I was hoping for exactly that with Au Ra and the disappointment from their reveal still stings to this day, so people bringing it up over and over again only makes the pain worse.

It's not happening and I will forever be disappointed at SE for taking that stance. So instead, I put my energy towards something that seems much more likely to actually happen given their tastes...

I haven't played tera in a long time but last I knew elin were the only race that actually wore stuff resembling actual clothing. everyone else was tits mcgee with half her ass hanging out

That's possibly only because you saw the censored versions. The original versions had them in a nightgown and panties for a huge number of their cloth outfits, and a lot of plate outfits had a short skirt for even more panty shots. Only their leather outfits were anywhere near consistently covering.

Only a few of the outfits were straight up skimpy, for elin. A lot of the mage, and cash shop clothes had short or micro skirts (so yeah, abundance of panty shots...), and there were some outfits that had straight up thongs for pants, but the majority of their outfits had shorts, or leggings. I thought a lot of the tank outfits especially were really cute, even if they were impractical. I also loved the snow hoodie cash shop outfit.

But yeah, Elin were uncomfortably oversexualized. The Lyn look like they're going way more for the cute angle, which I appreciate!

I don't understand how people think there are "too many" cute races in XIV. There's literally one race that seems like it's exclusively designed to be cute, and 3 female options that seem like they're designed to be mostly cute. On the other hand we have 5 races (not including highlanders, which they're kind of a race on their own, so 6 races?) where the men are designed to be "cool" or "scary", and 3 where the female seem designed to be "cool" or "scary". Obviously you can create some cute characters in that spectrum, like you can also create some cool characters in the "cute character" spectrum, but I'd say the "cool" races outweigh the "cute" at this point.

That said, I absolutely want a beast race that has options for both cute, and cool builds. I'd love to be a little mouse/moogle type character, and it would be cool to see some bigger "beastmen" type pcs.
