The Representation We Actually Need

[Kazhar]

While OP started this thread in his usual manner, it's true that this game could use better (subjective, I know) male character body types both in character creation but also in the main cast.
Even when the only comparison is previous entries in the franchise, FFXIV is an outlier. For a series known for their pretty boys, most installments had at least one buff/traditionally manly character in its playable roster.
