The main reason Elezen aren't popular is their awful proportions (I can't say I blame anyone for this), and I say this as an Elezen myself for over 6 years now.

I find their proportions to be quite elegant. It's unconventional- different. I find other depictions of elve-like people, such as the Elves of Tera, uninspired and tacky; in that game they are essentially just tall people with chest-sliders automatically set to maximum.
Spoiler tags pleaseSo a 1000 Years of War with (Redacted) are not babaric and they treated their own ppl like animals if they were (redacted). I know you might refer more to the Gridania Elezens but every race have their dark history. On the other side there are Au Ra Clans like (redacted) that are not barbaric at all. And even(redacted) are not all barbaric like the (redacted) which just want to live peacefully.
I like all the races but i like my Au Ra the most and its fine and so are Elezen players.

My main issue with their proportions is that they limit me in my glamours. A lot of pieces look downright horrible on Elezen (especially the shoulders) and I can't use them even though they look pretty neat on other races.I find their proportions to be quite elegant.

Yes, that is a valid point. I am quite fond of Scyla's attire, yet it looks awful on my character. All-in-all though I don't think it's in any way a disqualifier.
My fellow, you are most enlightened. Duskwights are the best race after all.


This goes both ways though. My SO is Elezen, and some of the stuff they glam looks amazing but when I try it on I resemble a 12 year old girl trying on my Mums clothes...
Don't touch me there
These are probably rare cases, in my opinion (I've personally never seen such a case). I have a burning hatred for shoulder pads because of the Elezen proportions. The pads look huge on them. And to make matters worse, I main BRD, and a lot of our chest pieces have that cursed 1-shoulder pad thing going on, which creates even more imbalance and further accentuates the horrible shoulders condition. When female Viera dropped, I was green with envy at their balanced proportions (minus the bust. That part is a bit too much for my liking) (T_T).

I actually love the proportions, for the most part. I think Elezen necks are elegant. I just wish they had slightly larger heads.
Thanks for the post. It's hilarious. The part about Miqo'te having questionable loyalty and and being involved in highly illegal professions made me laugh hard. The bit about Au Ra being predisposed to violent aggression and acts of barbarianism was great too.
Hopefully nobody takes it too seriously. At the end of the day, all the races are amazing and the best part is that there's something for everyone.

I think some might be, I enjoyed it. Inflammatory, yet tongue in cheek, I had a laugh that I really needed today.I actually love the proportions, for the most part. I think Elezen necks are elegant. I just wish they had slightly larger heads.
