The State of Male Character Creation

[username1234]

Athletic and muscular builds, while not mutually exclusive, are not the same thing. Midlander, Miqo, Elezen, and popoto are most definitely not muscular. That said, it'd be nice if all races could have a body slider, or at least preset bodies to chose from like GW II.

Stop comparing the other male races to cartoonishly muscular roes. The males in this game are just varying degrees of ripped. Even if you turn the muscle tone slider down the muscles are the same size just less defined. Lalas don't count they're a joke race.

I wasn't, but thanks for assuming. Literally the first thing I typed was athletic and muscular builds are not mutually exclusive, simply that those races follow an athletic build pattern, rather than a muscular one. In other words, it's like comparing a sports player, say, basketball or soccer, with a bodybuilder or a strongman, they're 'fit', but not 'big'. And redirecting once again to my second statement, body sliders or preset body types would solve it for those that don't want to be in such shape.

Yeah, this bad boy must hit the gym at least once... per decade.

See how thin Alphinaud is?



I think Alphinaud's body type would work out very well for male viera, and I have a feeling would be popular as well. Right now, compared to Alphinaud's body type, the other races are more muscular and in general bigger/broader than his. Personally, what I would like to see is a short and slim male viera, as that is the body type I feel is missing from the other races.

That has absolutly nothing to do with my point but okay.
You like the body of a 16 years old elezen. Good for you, I guess.

Ok, but what I posted is probably what OP was trying to get across to you
a short and slim male body type

I was just pointing at the dishonesty in picking the most muscular men they could find to complain about the game only having muscular men.
They are intentionally obfuscating the possibility of making a character that most people would consider "normal" (or "fit" at best) to make their point. But since this possibility very much exists, it completly undermine their entire point. That's the perfect recipe to lose all credibility in a second.

Yes, you can't currently make a character with the body of a 16 years old elezen. But it doesn't mean that you can only create muscular characters. That's what they claimed, and it's objectively false.
Just like people pretending that we can't create strong/muscular looking women. We can.
