Gender locked race?

[Iscah]

Dude. Plz Omega M is Hot.
and his physical body structure and face style is not available in game.

...

Elezen dont look anything like that and have awkward bodies.. stop pushing that.

Funny you say that, because I took one look at that screenshot and thought oh, I definitely recognise those body proportions...



Omega is a bit slimmer in the torso, but that can be down to individual costume pieces. Other than that, he's pretty clearly built from an Elezen base model - and I don't think the face is that different from what's possible with Elezen settings, either.

Really. Play around with Duskwight face #2 (maybe also #1) and see if you can find something you like.

If you want Omega specifically, you can get that skin colour, and from memory there's a hairstyle that's basically a tamer version of his.

Im all in for Hrothgar being bulky/macho. But I still wouldn't play them, as I never touched Roe or Highlanders. I respect people's wishes, hence I said it would be best case scenario to release 2 "final" races to cover actually this demand.

I just would like to see handsome, young male Viera and not another race that is "tall" and 3 of 4 faces being angry/pissed/old-dude-looking. That is my preference and no matter how we turn the table, we all have our differences in this matter. I just would like to remind people not to smash others wishes/tastes.

Why should they agree with you when you are not respecting them?

edit:

and omg that neck is reaching heaven?!

;_;

There's a reason most of his outfits involve high-collared shirts....


(but fortunately the game is very eager to give him lots of them.)

Honey I have played with elezen..
and its not gonna work..
Honestly they just need to be fixed and ill drop all this.

Stop trying to make elezen happen. Just stop it. If elezen looked good they wouldn't be as rare as roe. Objectively ugo.

At least Roe players picked a good looking orc/ogre race, and not an ugly elf.

It'd be ideal for them to release 2 races, however Hrothgar remain an enigma and there's an awful lot of body types which either race could fit.

I would not be disappointed if they enabled Hrothgar to feature faces like Byakko's, maybe with a body type similar to an au ra's or highlander's. I don't believe they will make them too similar to roegadyn, both because of that race's % of characters played but also because they'd probably want to distinguish it physically.

For Viera, I do like the official concept art they have put forward, but something like this would work (albeit I think it's consistent with the concept art):



They do need to eventually re-visit the older races and broaden the customisation options, since some of the issues appear to arise due to limited customisation options for them, or design flaws, like the awkwardness in elezen models.

[artyport]

Yeah he actually works for me as well albeit i'd use the prettier face option and no beard..
maybe make his arms thinner and we got a deal.

I'd have been a lot happier with Raen/Xaela if not for their hips. The proportions just seem off to me and I think it'd have been better to give them clawed hands and feet and more scale patterns. Hrothgar could be designed to be fairly muscular but with no weird proportions - with the distinct features being patches of fur, a mane and clawed hands/feet. Give them a face similar to Byakko and they'd look human but inhuman at the same time.

Roegadyn are far too bulky. Highlander men lack eyebrows. The latter could be solved by updating the character customisation system - which is really what a lot of people should be pushing for. That way, everybody wins.

the thing about viera specifically that i loved was that it was the first fantasty race that was featured as beautiful with darker skin tones. Even if they are now selling the very white washed version of them. But they made a beautiful race that was kinda ethnic. I loved that about them. So I NEED THE MALES

They're not going to get "fixed", because that'll affect the people who are already playing as those characters and happy with them - and an awful lot of important NPCs that rely on the same data.

And I still think it's worth another play around with the face settings. I'd actually made this comparison of a few characters and their data a while back - if you maybe start with the settings for Artoirel and play around from there?

Surely it's worth a shot if the alternative is not being happy with any of the designs.
