Stormblood - New Race? Yes? No?

[Khaoticsuccubus]

More customisation please, a new race adds even less options and more problems (see au'ra).

Question for all the viera crowd: would you rather have viera or 1.0 butts plus more?

Viera.

I need a race I can settle down with and call my own before I start complaining about my butt size and lack of options ;P

You ignore the other major design choices made in FFXIV in that gear in general isn't overly sexualized, and Lalafell are constantly given toned down versions of revealing gear of what is revealing, especially on the girls.

The art books mention the fact that the team is adamant about keeping Lalafell cute and childlike, and not sexy, at every turn.

That isn't the case with Lyns! (I guess Elin was their name in another language?)

Firstly, you're getting 2 seperate games mixed up. Tera is the game with hyper sexualized lolis and are the race called Elin.

Blade and Soul's race, the game from the pictures, was called Lyn and the vast majority of their gear was also toned down ALOT in comparison to the other hyper sexualized races of that game. I played a bunny Lyn in that game and the main complaint I had was that there was hardly any difference in gear options for them (non-cash shop) compared to other races. Most every piece of gear you got was a full on robe with a bell like object on the front.

Tera's elin on the other hand... well, I played a bunny Elin there too but... well, iirc, most gear was toned down... pretty sure... they didn't wear the nipple tassel gear of other races at least... probably... yeah... lol.
