Gender locked race?

16 is legal in my state not my fault you live in an uncivilized part of the world

It's legal in most of the world to my awareness, but he doesn't really even look 16. Elezen 16 is probably not exactly the same as human 16 as they live a bit longer.

This has to be one of the most low effort races I've seen in a game just add bunny ears.. they could have easily had their main feature as a cosmetic head piece.

I'm tired of weeb races can we get some more features for the already existing ones?

Faces, face customization, body customization are all extremely lacking if we're talking modern MMO here.

If anything I hope the next race doesn't have a tail or horns or (insert cute animal here) ears if they refuse to add more customization.

Not sure how Viera is a "weeb" race but ok. Playing a JP game complaining about JP aesthetics lol... I think we all would like more customization but I think it's pretty likely a lion race would have a tail.

You know damn well they won't update the character creator or even existing models which is why Au Ra have a more polished appearance compared to other races which are going to look even more dated compared to Viera.

Yep and we're talking races that were developed during the mid 2000's when FFXIV was announced under the codename Rapture. So all of the FFXIV 1.0 races are over a decade old. The character creator needs a huge update but listening to what Yoshida has said in live letters Q&As and interviews, I don't see an update like that happening until at least 6.0. SE will need to overhaul their graphics engine.

Hrothgar are going to have rough ugly faces cuz they're men only and will look just as terrible as the male Roe does in gear. Now that I think of it, Hrothgar probably won't have the same kind of attention to detail the female Viera got.
Believe it

I can only wish once in a while the SE artist will design a gear based on Roe first then adjusting to the other races instead of the other way around.

6.0 is most likely when they will do it.

I feel like the young elezen thing is taken way out of context. They were talking about ears, it's probably just ears that kinda go down and backwards.

Eh, I don't think so, we haven't seen the subrace yet, not even in the art, if you compare the art assets we've been given to what we got for au ra there was a clear distinction between the xaela and the raen with the female being raen and the male being xaela, but we have no such GLARINGLY noticeable distinction in the art. We don't even have a second lighter skin viera 3D model representative of the lighter skinned race. I don't think it's too tin foil to stretch a bit here, I also doubt the official translator would translate anything incorrectly without being corrected or told to stop.

Again I don't think ANYTHING is confirmed until fanfest drops, but I don't think it's far fetched to assume the subraces may be unique.
