Manly Looking Characters

Ramuh beard on lalas...... totally epic

Okay, can we just talking about that amazing beard? It's easily the best beard I've ever seen. I would put it on my freaking female Highland it's so badass.

There's no such thing as "masculinity by nature" seeing as there are men with little body hair and ALL women have body hair as well. Your views of masculinity are derived from society, not nature. If you care about the characters being "natural" then all the female characters should get body hair as well.

And, again, body hair is frowned upon in Japan as being disgusting so we are very likely NOT going to be having a 'manly' option anytime soon.

You do realize human females have body hair too right? If males in game get body hair then the females should too. It makes absolutely no sense for Adventurers to be clean shaven everywhere. I ain't got time to shave my legs. I'm saving the dang world. >.>

^^^ i agree with this. if you want some hairy male character, then I want to be able to see that option for female characters. If we were to make it look realistic. Women do have hair in their body. We, male and female humans, are the same species.

Obviously this game is aesthetic oriented and that won't happen, but some people just forget that this is online game is designed to attract people by its looks. Now that you are playing and you want more features, that is understandable, but send a letter to their office and show us the email you sent. It ll be more productive than just saying to the rest of the ppl that might or might not agree with you.

I don't see what everyone's problems are. All he wants is more face and body hair options. And the whole deal with females and body hair... There are very, very few games where females have body hair options regardless of how many the males have.

Well, yes, there should be no issues but everyone keeps looking at the discussion from the point of view of their countries of origin, forgetting where and who are responsible for this game. In the US body hair is manly and we've got anecdote after anecdote about things that puts hair on chests. But, again, this isn't made in the US. It's made in Japan, and is subject to that way of thinking.

I suppose that's true.

I know this may not be much but have you ever looked at the picture of the title male hyur? The detail is pretty amazing and if you look at his exposed chest area he has some faint chest hair poking out.

So in reality SE has designed a male with chest hair already. We just don't have any in game.

snip.

I think that people are talking in regards to that. We are playing in a game that is not from US. We know that Japanese people won't see a hairy body as aesthetic, yet the OP want it that way. That is why my suggestion of sending a letter to their office/website. He excluded female character, and some girls will argue or just say that's unfair because they are having the same role. I think in my previous I posted it. I srly haven't see a video game that put that detail in their characters like body hair at least those charatcers are beast races. Now a days u only see hairy man as masculine when they have buff muscles. I haven't see any movie where an athletic look man have hair.

If you want manly, play a Roe.

I highly doubt that the majority of people see Roegadyn as "aesthetically pleasing", yet they are in the game, so why shouldn't the *option* to have some body hair be in the game too?

Testosterone isn't real I guess.

Body hair is a trait seen on men more often than on women. That hormone is literally what gives much of the "masculine" features that the appearance of masculinity stems from, including the growth of body hair.

The appearance of it being beautiful, sexy, or ugly comes from society, but not it's existence lol.
