I will admit. My partner started out playing a Hyur Midlander female and I would teasingly say that - of all the things he could have: tails, majestic horns with gleaming scales, or cat ears with cool idle animations - he picked a "generic" woman. But I learnt to warm up to the idea TBH. Sometimes plain is best. No odd clipping with horns, no overdone body features (and he would have never gone Miqo'te). Just a slim strong woman with armours created to fit her. Near the end of ARR I said he should stay Hyur, she's well made.

... He changed to Au Ra female with the free Fantasia anyway. Lol.
