So, why isn't this a thing yet?

[Shiro-Koizumi]

SE did say that based on their stats, players prefer this type of thing. Sad thing is, I do see the next race to be another cute and might be even more anime-inspired than the Au Ra are. Unless they do decide to go the Viera route.

Hopefully, if they choose to do something like this then I hope that the males will at least look like adults/ "fierce"

Personally I would have preferred the cute Viera option from the concept arts. You can tell they're both girl and boy but they don't make the male hyper masculine

Then by lore reasons (while they are short, Au Ra females and Lalafell are still adults!), children can't be a playable option

But seriously though, we have enough cute things in this game. Any more and we might as well redub this game as "Typical Anime Fantasy" or something along those lines >_>

This is what comes to mind when I read your post

I'm tired of how cute this game is. Nothing wrong with that :T

In that case I'm definitely not playing B&S then. That's no different than Elin in TERA... may even be worse.

Except Lyn's can be males also, Which Elin's where female only

And so do I. And yes, we need more beast-looking races. Everything is so cute, this is all rainbows and floating hearts. I wouldn't play them but I know plenty of people that would. There you would have more variety, everything is human looking now. Even if the difference is noticeable, specially with the latest race, (an odd-designed Au Ra), they're still human looking.

You guys really need to give up on the not-so-human-looking playable races. They (as in the Japanese playerbase AND the developers) just don't care for it, for whatever reason. Plus the devs have already said that they're shooting for what would be popular instead of what would be unique (yes, really, they stated this outright). So, sorry, but your dreams have been crushed.

No, Lyn are definitely waaaay different from Elin.

For one, the character creation doesn't suck ass, so you can make an older-looking Lyn (including elderly Lyn with wrinkles and facial hair and everything) pretty easily. This also means that they don't have those ridiculous Elin body proportions forced on them (though they ARE capable of mimicking their proportions thanks to the body sliders).

Secondly, as mentioned, Lyn have both male and female, and the two look pretty much identical outside of hairstyles and facial hair options. Which means, of course, that the Lyn are not just the 'cute' race, but also the 'androgynous' race (even moreso than Lalafell). It's very easy to genderbend with them if you're so inclined.

Thirdly, and most importantly, they're not anywhere NEAR as sexualized as the Elin are. Whereas Elin only ever wear sexualized outfits with a few token exceptions, Lyn are the exact opposite. The play up the cute angle considerably more often. That's not to say that some 'sexy' outfits don't exist, but they're the exception, and you have to go out of your way to find them. Kind like you do now with Lalafell, heh.

Yo, chill, my child. It's not even a deep desire that need to be fulfilled. It would be neat if they could include them. I'm fine either way and I'm sure everybody is fine with that too.

[Remilia_Nightfall]

Meh, I could not reply anymore yesterday because of posts limit. I see that the dumb arguing has died down anyway, so it's fine.

I would like to reiterate the fact that my question in the opening post was sarcastic. I personally see no reason why a child miqo'te should be playable. I just find them incredibly cute and I went all warm and fuzzy inside, hence the "OMG I NEED THIS NAO" post.

Rationally speaking, I am happy with my Au Ra. :P
