The Women FFXIV Needs

[IkaraGreydancer]

I had to look up who that was but was pleasantly surprised by the result, I think her build strikes a good balance between feminine and rough/warriorlike and have no issues with a character of this design being in the game.

Looks like a Highlander with a bit less muscle definition (and a smaller frame now that I look at it a 2nd time so thats more midlander territory) to me. What makes her look tough is her facial expression and body armor. At least to me anyway.

Bruh you think that's feminine and warrior like lol? She's just feminine with a cheap gladiator costume on. "Rough" where? She has makeup on, at most she has sharply defined features. This isn't to hate on her, but this isn't the representation of a rough female warrior you think it is lol. She's just as non-beefy as Yshtola and Minfilia. I think what you're looking for is body types similar to MMA women. Not too slender, not too buff, right in the middle for the most part.

Could someone tell me how to post pics?

I see so many threads, like this one, were id like to post a pic to get my thoughts fully across but either my phone or this dang message board set up on here won't give me the option.

It's easy on FB, why not here.

Exactly. And the only reason I'd say Highlander over Midlander is because Lucy Lawless is 5'10". At this point I'm expecting complaints about which nose shapes being not feminine next.

Man the OP not knowing who Xena or Lucy Lawless is makes so much sense to me. Especially on their views on what makes an attractive female. Unless they weren't into the kind of show Xena was. Course I don't think they'd like Xena if they saw the much later seasons. Anyway I'm still for more options. Especially options that allow those who would go for a facial look that's not already represented.

Same. And while I have no desire to play a hrothgar character that has a beast instead of human face - though am impressed with the animation range that they do have in-game - my biggest fear for the Hrothgals is somehow their heads get reduced down to something Mithra-like instead of just as cat-like as the males. That at least is a fear that is unlikely to come true, but the extremely narrow range of non-lala bodies for female characters makes me worried that the frame -and posture- for Hrothgals will be another Hyur-Viera-FemRoe-Elezen with minimal tweaks instead of something closer to the Hrothgar males.

Hey it's not to knock on your tastes ;P If you're into Xena, you're into Xena. I've personally never seen the show but -- to me (as a younger folk in her mid 20's), she's essentially the fantasy-lite female warrior akin to TERA or something. She looks cute with the armor on, she's an attractive person in general, but there's nothing about her that says seasoned/rough warrior.

If we're going to warrior looks, I'd much rather the body types of women like Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniaki, Allyson Felix, Merlene Ottey, ect ect ect. It's ok to have a bit of muscle on women guys lol.

If the worry was that muscled women will take away from the male cast - make them beefier then. Scions right now legit barely have any muscle, sans maybe Thancred and the Roe brothers who are basically side characters.

Not to knock on Estinien and people with that body type, but they do look in need of many kupo kupcakes and kupo kebabs.. maybe kupo krabmeats! The cast, sans the chubby ol' Lalas, are pretty slim in general! You can't tell me you don't look at Urianger and think, "what a graceful man".

(..I am pretty hungry at work right now..)
