    I've always preferred playing as a human as it helps me associate closer to my character (unless for story reasons I do a crossbreed like a half-elf). However, FF has done an amazing job IMO with the lore/design/etc of the Elezens. Ishgard, the Holy See, their history, culture, etc is so ingrossing to me; as I'm a huge fan of high fantasy Medieval settings and the Elezens in FFXIV tend to have that Medieval European vibe going on. I couldn't help but main one. See profile pic for my Elezen (though I'm just wearing generic clothes right now for my armorer leveling).

    Having said all that, I believe that Tolkien's Elves are more or less the defacto elves of just about any fiction. Never really liked the design of any of the Elder Scrolls elves but I do like the design and lore of the High Elves. Most fictions tend to depict elves as savage. Which is totally fine. there's alot of people that enjoy that setting. But I like Tolkien's take on things. Royal entities in tune with creation.
