    Suggestion: More body type variety for male Midlanders

    Why can’t male Midlanders have two body type options, where the second one is more like this?
    I can’t run around in the Omega-M onesuit all the time just to have a body type that actually matches the face. :'(

    For clarity, here is a visual comparison.
    The current male Midlander body appears bulky even in minimal gear, while the same character only achieves a more elegant silhouette when constrained by very specific glamours.
    A 2nd slimmer body type option would allow elegant glamours to look natural, not forced.



    And yes, I know that a body type similar to Omega-M wouldn’t look truly “natural” in reality.
    But FFXIV is a fantasy game, and we all want our characters to look good in different glamours and overall, don’t we? :3

    I would love to be about that much thicker on my Midlander and Miqo'te ladies.

    This is the level of waist and hip scaling I keep asking for but most players are entirely too traumatized by modbeasts to even imagine it.

    Sure, more options for curvier female body types are fine too. More variety is always a good thing.

    They really should add a third Hyur sub-race, something more elegant, with a body type somewhere between male Elezen and Viera, and a more handsome overall look. That way, we could make characters more like Themis or Hythlodaeus.

    Yes, please! That would be great.
    I’d also love to have a wider range of size options, because I enjoy playing both taller and smaller characters, and Viera and Elezen are already on the taller side.

    Nothing wrong with more body type options for races overall.

    TBH I always thought midlanders were super thin already so not sure if SE needs to add even thinner as an option

    Like no one has a chest except for women, and they removed our butts after the calamity to make gear re-fitting easier too...

    We all need more body type variety. And by more, I mean literally any.

    male midlander is genuinely the last race that needs the help considering the state of the other races. but variety is always good

    Midcore is when you take a look at an Ultimate, nod along sagely to a guide and decide to do it when you get 12 months of uninterrupted vacation, which is to say: never.
