    Not a single add on, that was taken back in HW before modding became a thing.

    the problem with elezen is this:

    a) their animations are very stiff and awkward. other tall races such as au ra and roegadyn have pretty fluid animations.

    b) their necks are too long and makes them look goofy in armor sets/helmets.

    c) their heads are of disproportionate size compared to the rest of their bodies. their shoulders are really really wide which further accentuates this fact

    if they addressed these 3 things i think elezen would look way better

    i like be able to snack on my leaves without a ladder thank you very much...

    But seriously FF version of the elf has always looked this when they introduced the Elvaan. I mean if you watch some of the clips of Garlanean like Nero and Lucia put hyurs on him and catch them from angles they ahve the infamous elezen neck on them and just as gangley. If anythign I would rather the races have different weapon stances to or more options to the races for varied customization give some variety. that's just me.

    Yea the different stances and different Weaponskill Animations in XI gave the XI races a lot of character. Hell I rolled a Elvaan despite wanting to be a Galka because the animations won me over (was also the only player character option that had cloth physics on spell casting lmao. I wonder if they patched that to the other races and genders).

    I definitely wouldn't mind the time it would take to undertake such a thing, but I think something they could do near term is unlocking the weapon draw combat ready pose across both genders. That way, Players can assign the one they think fits their character best.
