That's very true.

Honestly you shouldn't not do something just because a lot of others are doing it. Just like you shouldn't do something just because a lot of others are doing it. Personally I'll be changing to Male Auri. I didn't expect to like them as much as I do.

Same boat as you Arixtotle. I loved my femroe but what drove me from her was how hard it was to get her to look decent in armor. The male Au'Ra looks amazing and better fits me personally. (ladies are too danty for my taste)

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed aswell that the female Aura are so tiny and lack Oomph! I thought the females were going to be tall as well, but from the character creation alone they don't look fierce enough to me :/ Also I'm not a fan of their passive look, like they just woke up from getting punched in the face too often. The male ones though look very good, all of them. I'm just wondering how the male ones will look as healers. I main warrior as well as whm so that I will walk the paths of both dark knight and astrololo is a given, just not sure if I can give up my current character which I love and also... Elezen represeeeent :x

Hrm, Personally changing to anything else this late in the game would feel nothing but odd... I could use an eye color change tho.

The only thing that male Auri beat my Miqo'te in was that they can get an actual Sonic hairstyle for a legit Gotta-Go-Fast speedrun. But sadly, I also like my current hairstyle and Auri can't get it.

Also don't like the idea of having a 2 meters height minimum :/
And the horns aren't very appealing to me...

I will definitely get a female Au ra as my retainer tho :U!

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.

Personally I do like my femroe. I've been told that I was able to create one of the rare "pretty" femroes though.... I actually greatly dislike the Au'Ra females. Probably just as much as you dislike Roes and Elezens. To me they have no good looking faces and are far, far too "cutesy" to me.

Ouch, very hurtful. I've been told my FemRoe is unique and quite pretty


Anyway, to be in topic now. I'll continue to be a Roegadyn. There are far too few of us in this game. Sad to see that a few are going to be switching. I'm going to be making an alt of mine an Au'Ra though. One less Miqo'te is a good thing.

Fem Roe have some of the prettiest faces and second best hairs (after Au Ra) imo. They're gorgeous, but I can't stand their bodies or height to play them myself. They also have the best hempen camise. :<
Elezen women...can be pretty in the face, but the tiny head, huge shoulders, posture, and horrific legs ruin it.
For both, mostly everything but their race gear and hempen camise looks bad because of their body shapes. Idk, maybe I'm just too into a specific slender body shape.

While we do have slightly small heads, it can easily be offset by good choice in gear. I don't think there is anything wrong with our posture or legs though :/ since when have long legs been "horrific"? Most gear looks great on elezen...

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.

Anyway I was considering Au Ra, but they are too short I think. I will test on an alt, but I will probably stay elezen. I also hated the Au Ra voices from what I could hear.

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...

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%
