Male Miqote Model Thought

[dinnertime]

Yes, but as the protagonists of FFXIV, why are we forced to be beefcastles or super scrawny females? Why do we have no options? Why can't we be slender gentleman or stockier women?

Male Elezen are pretty slender while also having an athletic body type. I don't know what you mean about "stockier" but we do have Highlanders and Roegadyn women, and Lalafell if you meant that by being chubby.

I'm not sure if other MMOs would let you pick another body type for a single race (unless they have only 1-3 races) or a body fat slider/muscle slider (that doesn't just give the body more definition but give more bulk) but having more body types for each race would be more work for the developers because of gear-fitting.
Some of the MMOs I've seen so far distribute a kind of body type for a race, but I might not be looking more further if there's an MMO with the kind of superior customization.

EDIT: I think I don't know any game that had customization like body fat slider and muscle build slider other than the Sims, so I guess why it's not in this game is either laziness or just too much work for them at this point.
I'm not really disagreeing if you're getting that vibe from my post, it's just that I can see why it's not in the game yet.

Also why we don't actually have slender males? I don't know either!
