Imagine: Midlander stubble

[KizuyaKatogami]

Seriously, I just wanna be a normal looking dude, I was a Highlander before, but I just can't get over how weird the nose looks on the only face with a stubble, likewise, I just can't get used to being a Miqo'te

It’s kinda sad cuz Male Viera had potential to be a nice masculine looking guy, but instead got turned into shorter than females, incredibly feminine dudes with no masculine facial options whatsoever. Pretty sad when even Miqote has that option.

Well, from what I understand, the male Viera are like silent stalkers, so it makes sense why they would be short, they are, in a way, similar to Bosmer from the Elder Scrolls, whose shorter bodies allows them to be more nimble hunters.

But yeah, I mean, Miqo'te have at least one very masculine face, I don't know about Viera, I haven't checked them out yet, but Midlander in specific bothers me due to their 13-year-old mustache, are they supposed to be teenagers?

People would've complained then too.
Look at how much people complain about Female Au'Ra being small.
It's the same gender differences only in the reverse which makes sense with the Viera with the female Viera being all dominatrix Amazon women.

In the end of the day tho I think it's a small minority complaining.
Female Au'Ra wouldn't have been as popular if they looked more like the Male Au'Ra.
If you play a bunny boy then something tells me that a masculine dudebro ain't what you're interested in 99% of the time.
And I don't think that if you play a bunny girl that most people interested in that would've liked it if they were masculine or looked frumpy either.

I mean y'all can complain all you want but in the end of the day even the devs have acknowledged that what most people want is what we're getting.
There's a reason why they keep adding more cute and feminine things, and it's because they have the actual numbers and look at them and see what content most people are into.

Edit: Also I always find it interesting how it's okay to ask for masculine options but if you ask for feminine options the people basically always accuse you of being horny.
Asking for masculine options is fine I just find the different reactions to be a bit annoying.

Whenever I do it it literally doesn't matter how much I specify what I mean and don't mean people always act like it's about that.

I think part of this is that there ARE plenty of feminine options in game.

I'm going to rephrase the issue as I see it as a straight female player who wants a classically Final Fantasy-type handsome character to stare at....look I'm not deep.

Female characters have a lot of options for just about any vibe you want to give off: Cute, sexy, fierce, strong, etc If you can imagine it you can give your character a look that comes close.

Male characters you can be cute, sexy, fierce, strong as well but your options to convey that desired vibe are limited. There is maybe one face per look and every option has some weird issues with it like face shape, default stance, animations, eyebrows and beard or a lack thereof. There are also fewer glamours that show off a male frame compared to a female one (Why did we get 2b's iconic outfit + lookalikes but not 9s's?).

I'm big into glamours and I promise I am not crazy: It is MUCH easier to create a female character and outfit in this game than a male one.

I will grant the forums one thing, though: The limitations on male characters are something you sort of have to experience to notice. If you just look at options side by side it might seem like they're as flexible as the female characters but they aren't.
