Once we're not getting any new races, wouldn't it be nice if Elezen's got an update?

The old ARR races in general could use an increase in polygons, compared to Viera their faces just look rather blocky when you take a closer look.

As for Elezen, like I said before the shoulders are a bigger issue for me than the heads. They make most fending gear look absolutely ridiculous.

Their small heads create the illusion of longer necks and broader shoulders. I've made an edit you can check in my previous posts

I checked them thoroughly as well and the shoulders are still an issue. Even with a bigger head the shoulders are too wide and not in the way that professional swimmers for example have broad shoulders but in an unnatural way, almost as if their shoulder socket isn't connected to their shoulder blade. What also doesn't show on your example is how completely oversized any kind of pauldron is on Elezen, to a ridiculous degree.

All armor and weapons are designed on hyur and them tweaked for other races.

it's like wow and humans/orcs. They pick a race and model around it. This isn't a new tactic.

That's why all your glams look good. it's also why a lot of glams look awful on other races, like, say, lalafell.

They do that for all tall races. Female Miqo'te, Roegadyn, Highlander, Elezen, Au Ra and Viera all just use the female midlander body which is then changed per race by simply editing the skeleton that the body is rigged to.

They can't do that with lalafell because their body is too fundamentally different to a female midlander so they have to create a separate model of any piece of gear specifically for potatos.
