Everyone hates the elf race?

I think people generally don't hate 'em but the proportions can be tough to pull off. The old man elezen face kind of eliminates an option for a lot of people if they're looking for a more conventionally pretty look, and with the wide eyed face option that sometimes can look a bit jarring against the tall and angular male elezen figure. It's definitely not a guarantee, but without addressing it the effect can be kind of like putting a baby's head on a grown man's body lol. That basically makes two male face options if you're not ready to work for dat aesthetic, and even with those different choices in hairstyle or glamour will effect how proportion reads.

Female elezen still have oddly broad shoulders, and the dark lipsticks can be a little visually limiting at times depending.

I have an alt thats an elezen (duskwight) and I can say he doesn't look good in very many things. arms and neck always seem a bit weird. its also hard to make a nice looking one, surprisingly.

I don't hate Elezen, i just think their models don't look the best. But i have seen some very pretty Elezen.

Elezen is my main race! I'm really like elf races in games, so I tend to roll them all the time. I was an Elvaan in FFXI, a Newmen in PSO and PSU(Probably would've made one in PSO 2 as well, but they region locked that game, soooo I don't have it), and some Night/Blood/Void elves in WoW. I do have a number of Hyur and Miqo alts, but none of them get as much attention as my main.

I don't hate them. I just don't really play them.

[Greven]

I don't mind them but I think they could use a little rework and more options

i like elezen i cant really play as males too long before it annoys me but ive been a female a couple times and like it

I really enjoy playing with my Elezen, tried switching till Shadowbringers back to roots (Lalafell), but still missed my Elezen, and maybe I will stay an Elezen in Shadowbringers and not change to Viera.

It is true, that it is not easy to make a pretty one (same for Roe's, but I have seen some beautiful female Roe's, but when I try it, it does not go well), I find I did my Elezen pretty well, and I enjoy being one of the rare classes around ^^

and my avatar hasn't updated in the forums yet, I changed back to Elezen in the weekend XD

I love my duskwight. So much that I often ponder making him my true main over femroe. Problem is, femroe feels like it's my virtual self while elegent is a character I play. I intend to play both equally; femroe more in the beginning to experience all battle class stories and elezen more before patch updates for harder endgame stuff.

Gotta say, though, that my elf has a lot less glamour headaches than my poor roe. Can't even find the perfect hairstyle for her, because all hairstyles are made for midlander/miqo'te/au ra in mind, and I happen to be a fan of cute hairstyles+glam to which roes have to go an extra mile to pull off. Dx Meanwhile Mr.Fashion can look fabulous even in baggy yellow script DoH gear that would make my roe look like a mountain of cloth.
