Just a thought on Elezen.

[Lewtskie]

Honestly, I'm just glad i'm not anime waifu #1000000.

the blandest hyur... they quite frankly almost all look like NPCS.

because they have the sense that every character needs to be a walking waifu.

I think people go out of their way to bash things....

Okay, I like Elezen and respect people's choice to play them, but seriously... this road goes both ways.

Show me some good catgirls and au ra girls that don't look the same. 90% of them are the same. It's part of why I don't want to be the same as everyone else but if you play that and it's your thing, you may do so by all means. I just don't find any of them unique.

Just because you lack the eye to actually discern detail, or rather hold the bias to not see what would be obvious, does not mean it isn't there. The same old wishy-washy claim of "they all look the same" is the most base form of bashing, something you were so tired of coming from others. Just between Au Ra and Miqote there is a distinct difference between body shape and posture. Between their own kind there's a variety of options to differentiate them. Certainly more varied than the other races.

No, I'm pretty sure I see the same characters everywhere in terms of cats and au ra. They may not be 100% the same but they do look almost like a carbon copy. I don't lack the eye as I see them everywhere. Oh and don't even get me started on them in the same glam. They are almost indistinguishable except hair colour.

I really don't think you have room to say that when Elezen only have two faces to pick from (as shown in the post above). So while there are less Elezen females running around, they are far more likely to look like clones of each other because you essentially have less choices in faces.

Au Ra, on the other hand, have a different problem: we have 4, very different facial structures to pick from that all look great. However you can't change the horns that come with each face. And the horns are a very prominent part of the character's design. And so when creating one, you basically have to decide: pick your favorite horns? Or pick your favorite face? (Unless you were lucky and got the exact combo you wanted from the get-go). Because the horns are more noticeable, it's a big red-flag as to which face was used in the design process, regardless of what other details you put on your Au Ra. Look at the "show your Au Ra" thread: there are dozens of unique Au Ra girls using the same faces. But if you were to see them all run around in the game world? You'd just see the horns, then just assume they're the same as the other players who picked those same horns.

This is why rather than bashing each other's preferred races, we should be working together for more character customization in general. I actually really like female Elezen's proportions, and what Highlander ladies and Fem Roes I have seen are all drop dead gorgeous. However those three races only have two (or even one) face that looks good at all. The only reason female Elezen are unique right now is because less people play them. And less people play them because they just have less options offered to them when creating one. And that's sad. Elezens need more love and options.

Big eyed tiny waifus will always be more popular than tall/muscular girls, even if cats/lizards all had only 1 set face in character creation they'd still be super popular lol

This is true too. I have to admit I prefer playing shorter girls, but I'm 5'2" (157 cm I believe?) so it's nice to watch a small girl destroy Gods and big buff characters. But I do have a soft spot for Elezen: I nearly made one after seeing their dance. Awkward giraffes deserve love.

Also curse threads like these and the "show your ___ " threads. I am now in character creation just making different characters now >__>

I’m 5’1” and my main is a max height male Au Ra xD I don’t fault people for picking popular races. People are gonna play what they like to look at regardless of what others think- as they should! If anything, it just makes me appreciate the less used combos when I spot a cute one run past me in-game :}
