So saying that odd body proportions is what makes an elezen is IMO an insult to this race.

Do YOU even think before posting? Wow. Rhetorical question or not, its BS.
This is really the root of the problem, and the reason a lot of people are gonna disagree with your thread. "Elves" don't exist in this game. The Elezen obviously share some similar characteristics that we associate with traditional elves, but they are not, and have never been intended to occupy that particular niche. They are Elezen, and that includes the exaggerated necks, the spindly arms and yes, the head:body ratio that they currently have.

What you and several other people are doing is you're trying to mold a unique race into a preconceived picture of what you think they look should like, but its no less wrong than if I was to argue that Roegadyn should be bright green and have fangs like Orcs just because they both happen to be large.
