    I would personally advocate to just scrap the clan system but it's never gonna happens sadly, genuinely why can't miqo'te player get the fang and the slit pupil or both "normal" let people choose. It's an unnecessary limitation to an already extremely limited character creator.
    i'm in the same boat. I freaking LOVE that I can actually SEE the color I chose for my eyes now!! And i'll be a bit disappointed if they change it back tbh :T

    Honestly it's rather dumb that pupil size is a clan thing anyway 'cause it's not like the lalafell, hrothgar and miqo'te with like fully structural changes, they're just dilated a bit more. And if it were some kind of adaption to their environments, wouldn't veena, living in bright snowy areas, have more restricted light intake than the rava living under the golmore canopy?

    Honestly it should be two more options on the character creator:

    ◯ Large
    ◯ Large dilated
    ◯ Small
    ◯ Small dilated

    "easy" fix!

    Or, if they're feeling ballsy, and I do prefer ballsy, have the textures dynamically react to the light level. >:]
    (seriously this would be very striking on races like miqo'te)

    God, I'd love to see something like that in an MMO, though I imagined it'd be difficult to tackle. It reminds me how much I actually love the small new detail of eyes subtly scanning the area in idle now, and I always wanted to know how Seeker/Keeper & Helion/Lost eyes are supposed to react to this sort of thing.

    Though, and this isn't meant to dismiss anyone--because I know what it's like to dislike a feature of your race/clan, and I think opinions for potential character creation extension should indeed be heard--but for now I do hope they revert the Veena and Rava pupils... It's mostly just for the principle, though, and I think it's lame they missed these small clan differences on both Veena genders and Duskwight men. And, well, there's likely a good amount of people who did pick Veena for that option, too.
