Lack of ugly people?

[MStowastiqVahlshdeh]

Is it just me or does it seem like this game, and hell even JRPGs in general have a lack of ugly people? Everyone has to look good or at the very least normal. There seems to be very little ugly or old people.

I was just reminded of that when someone mentioned why do all miquote look cute? I think there should be some ugly or old ones to balance out all the cute ones.

I like "fantasy rpg" as it is fantasy and therefore shiny-unreality but I do like the idea of having the option to ick it up a bit in the character creation screen. Still, beauty to some is ugly to others..its all pov based to me.

I find every race to be attractive on their own way, and can certainly be homely if someone tried.

I find that Highlander males have really unattractive faces (All 4 of them), b-but their bodies however...

Also, the first 5 races in this game are pretty much based on the FFXI races with tweaks.
Hyur are humans. Nothing really special but I do find Midlanders the most attractive than the rest.
Elezen are something. They're not your average cliché fantasy elves that look "perfect" embracing nature. I wish they didn't adopt the Elvaan aesthetic with them though. (especially the long neck. Really?)
Miqo'te and Lalafell are way better looking here. Taru Tarus look really ugly.
And Roegadyn are more like ogres than bears in this game. Naturally, people would think they're ugly. I find them okay though.

Wow, Girl. Step off, stop threatening her.

I guess it's just in our nature? I mean I've been thinking of copying your hairstyle Greedalox, please don't get upset and crush me with your thighs...

No... Ma'am.. please don't hit me...


Just kidding, I love everyone! Don't hit me though D:

This fixation on hitting, I think we should talk about it. How bout my place, 7 PM? I'll bring the wine.

I think there are plenty of ugly characters in the game..xD

Maybe not in the "super fat and with hideous pimples all over her face and a hunchback figure" kind of way (and honestly, I'm grateful for that u.u), but in many other ways, there is still enough potential to look ugly.
From not knowing how to use make-up right (by now I have a 95% right ratio on guessing which female Miqo'te is played by an actual girl and which is played buy a guy who wants to look at a "sexy" catgirl, just based on the makeup xD) to using the default look / randomized look on several races; especially dangerous for female Roe and female Au Ra.

Honestly, I see a lot of characters I would consider kind of ugly. Or at least strange looking to me. They go for really sharp features, but will have pudgy faces, and it just conflicts and looks super unpleasant to me. Though I'm sure it looks find to them, so hey, more power to them.

About the only race I can't ever look at and think "that looks good" are manroes. I really hate their body proportions, and a lot of their hairstyles look kind of goofy. That said, I don't find them particularly ugly either, just awkward in a sorta unpleasant way to me. People who play male elezen also really struggle to make something not kind of awkward looking. I'm surprised at how many choose the creepy baby face ._.;

Isn't this why they released Male Au Ra's?

I think Au Ra males are far from ugly but people can certainly make them ugly unintentionally.

I see now who has been necroing 5-year-old posts. So not happy with trolling, you are now necroing. You must be really miserable to find joy in these activities.

[SkylineSenpai]

necro or not,

Male miqo'te have the one face with the forehead tumors, that's ugly.
