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.
Quoting because this is the most accurate post in this thread.

Everyone complaining is doing so because they want stereotypical elves. But elezen are not stereotypical elves, and I hope they never will be.

(also, I'm duskwight - partly for the negligable MND bonus, partly because i enjoy being vaguely grey, lol.)
