Heavensward Race Survey (from reddit)

[seida]

Elezen posture is terrible. Drives me batty. I think they're so pretty otherwise.

Standing posture? Or when running? I understand being bothered by the run (though I'm used to it by now, but then I don't mind the femroe run either... only the female midlander run bothers me) but their standing posture seems perfectly normal to me...

I love long legs, but the Elezen legs don't look right. They're weirdly chunky and unflattering to me. I think it's the calves.

This is chunky to you?? (genuine question) Just... looks like normal legs to me.

Oh well... at least it means it's always exciting to meet another elezen.

Also current results for current race -> future race:

Elezen 276 9% -> 135 4.4%
Hyur 749 24.5% -> 334 11%
Lalafell 481 15.7% -> 310 10.2%
Miqo'te 1297 42.5% -> 545 17.9%
Roegadyn 251 8.2% -> 174 5.7%
Au Ra -> 1541 50.7%

lol.

Dear lord, the number of people that are Miqo'te, lol.

But if the current chart results are anything to go by, I'm going to get left in the dust to second place come Heavensward. Yes, I voted in there, and I'm sticking to my Miqo'te girl come Heavensward. Though I'll probably make an Au Ra alt.

Friend, there's nothing wrong with being unique. History remembers individuals. In terms of game setting, you should value the fact that you stand apart from the rest. Embrace the fact that while others believe they are beautiful unique snow flakes like everyone else, you actually define it.

I couldn't have said it any better.

In all honesty, i am happy they don't. Roe & Elezen are so weird and butt ugly, i don't get why people even play as them. ROE have no good looking face or skin colour, barely look good in anything beside certain gear. As for elezen, their posture is so bad, it would be as if they have spine problem, hair style is horrible and badly match anything, same goes for ROE.

I think shes beautiful! Roe males though... I would play a Roe if they had more of a body like their feminine counterparts. Roe females look much stronger.

[KaijinRhada]

Every one has their opinions on aesthetics, but I think there's some good support for Roegadyn and Elezen. With the Elezen body type, I do have to say they look a lot better to me with gear models with that have more volume or bulk, because of their lengthy proportions.

[Dualblade]

Roe males are pretty awesome! So are the females, but I don't think I could do one with justice if I tried my hand at it...

I'll be switching to Au Ra myself, something I decided on before we had that much info on them, but the character creation pretty nailed it going forward for Xaela.

EDIT: Also, let's not forget about Moenbryda (the Twelve bless her). I can't find a good picture though.

Best I can do right now:


Salty people in here...

Personally I don't see anything appealing in Au'Ra after playing around with the character creator. And it might be just me but most of their voices don't fit their looks for a few exceptions or are just odd, imho. :b

Those survey results were easily predictable though.

I am sure someone possibly posted this, but either way figured I'd post it.

Koji Fox said this at the lore panel. Anyway, I am sure they will 'officially' say more soon, because I know until its on the main page or posted under a community rep, people will debate/etc, which is fine lol.

"motif" doesn't define origin. They can still be be mermaids with an elephant motif.

Still calling demonic dragon origin. Kill two bird with one stone and all that.
