They're also explicitly called 'Elves' on the First...

and Lalafell are called dwarves, what's your point lol.

The point is that Elezen are quite clearly meant to be the game's equivalent of Elves. Which they are, though rather than be handled in a way that makes them live up to their usual popularity they're now held hostage to niche aesthetics that can apparently never, ever be changed or improved upon.

Gotta love it when people want to homogenize races into generic fantasy ones, what's that your elf inspired race does not adhere to tolkien's image? Heretics.

That's but one potential aesthetic for them. I'm sure they'd also be exceptionally popular if they were closer to the Night Elves or Blood Elves of World of Warcraft. Or the Altmer of Elder Scrolls.

Get used to it, this is Final Fantasy. Elezen are quite clearly meant to be the game's equivalent of Elvaan btw.

Also Jak & Daxter are elves too, right?

Final Fantasy games typically actively embrace attractive aesthetics, though.

Elezen just aren't as good looking as they could and should be. It's been a pretty common complaint over the years and the contributing factor as why so few people actually play them. Of those who do, many seem to cling to them purely so they can 'stand out'.

It's fine to agree to disagree, though. It's just a video game at the end of the day.

But isn't it kinda rude to like, hey your concept of elves is shit, make it more like everyone else. Like it's fine to have a preference, but I feel like it's disrespectful to the vision they were made with.
