That would be very nice, but I have a feeling we're gonna be getting miqo'tes with rabbit ears in 4.0 *sigh*

I wont derail the thread, i only wish to make clear, i would actually enjoy Viera to be added.

Back on topic, i do feel that with enough demand, a request to use/ reallocate already existing art assets, and lore would not to be to out of the question.
That being said however i have always felt it was a shame that not more of the races had as much diversity as the Hyur Midlander/ Highlander option. As many have before shown interest in the idea of new tribes within existing race options, the retirement of the ps3 would be an excellent time to implement a third more diverse option to the other five races.

Elezen- The aforementioned Half elf

Roegadyne- Though i myself do not care for it there are some who wish for the Galka tail to make a comeback.

Miqo Te- Another i personally have no real opinion of, though i wouldn't mind a more fierce option, something more akin to the Woren of the Breath of Fire series (more muscular cat people think tiger/human hybrid)

AuRa- Newest of the bunch, however what was shown in concept was not what we got. I could care less for the bestial look, but the description of the Xaela practically demanded the female Xeala be a taller more muscular variant of the female Raen. Truly a missed opportunity.... However it has been noted that there are other AuRa tribes about, so come 4.0 (or 5.0) the induction of something like this would much welcomed.

Lalafell- ... imp? ... ... ... j/k. ...

agree, they look ugly & odd

[Serilda]

It's because they are so stiff and upright looking and the way their arms are positioned.

Due to this, I run with weapon out, so I don't run that way.

Thanks for the explanations, appreciated. I still think that my character looks great in motion (though I too run with my weapon out most of the time, because having a gigantic staff flailing around dangerously makes everything more exciting!)

I just hope we get the cool monstrous au'ras we were originally promised, hopefully with the improvements in 4.0 that can still happen.

I highly doubt the current races will any model alterations outside of additional options, but what you consider an "improvement" simply isn't to many others.

I want more ear and tail options on Miqo'te, and I'm all for the butt and hip sliders, but I don't want the current body type to completely vanish from character creator in favor of big hipped, rabbit eared women since a vocal set of players demanded it.

That's the kind of implication being put forth for Elezen. "Just change this arbitrary list of details that a bunch of us who won't play the race don't like, despite the thousand players who are actually using the model on their mains and alts, for my personal aesthetic preferences. Then it'll be better!"

That's a bit too selfish, I think.

[Lunafreya]

I do approve of this, honestly. I love my elf but I would love her much more if I could be a hyur half elf like Hilda. Elezen are great though and I feel lots of people don't give them a chance.

Shorter Elezen necks along with Eyebrows for Highlander are two things we deffinately need. It will change how people perceive those 2 races and appeal more. Elezen are nice but the neck same of the Highlanders. Those two things are supposed to give a twist on those two classical gaming races but they made those 2 races look weirder instead of more appealing. It can be easily fixed as the neck does not require for armors to be redesigned same for the Highlanders' eyebrows. I'm pretty sure the team could easily implement those two features. The neck can be a slider or a simple selection on character screen and eyebrows the same. I wish the team could hear us.

It's hard to say whether it should or not...
I enjoy the current length of my Elezen's neck, although sometimes looks long.
The whole designing follows a certain ratio, if you shorten the neck, maybe then you find other parts should be shorten as well. After all Elezens have everything long: long neck, long arms, long body, long legs. They're just a type of slender people.

What else do they have long? I'm really interested.
