is Elezen too similar to Highlander Hyur?

[ErzaScarlet77]

ive never played either, but i feel like these 2 races are pretty hard to distinguish

[Medicine]

Really? The two seem very distinct to me.

[Theodric]

Not really, no. Unless someone deliberately goes out of their way to erode away what makes an elezen distinct (such as their height and large ears).

[ErzaScarlet77]

hmm, i feel like they both blend to basically "tall human thats not fat like roe"

since elezen is basically the elf race here, itd be nice if they got mini wings or soemthing

[LDR]

lord why


also highlanders sure arent "fat" but their notciably more buff than elezen

easily fall into the Bishie/Bara tropes

but hey if we're playing this game

arent miqo just hairy midlanders :P

[saberchic]

I like Elezen just as they are. I think they look very different. From your description, you can make any race sound like another.

Lalas: short pudgy humans
Auras: tall humans with horns
etc.

I think it's your perspective that makes them seem the same.

.... "Does it have eyebrows and pointy ears?" If yes, it's an Elezen. If no to both, it's a Highlander Male, if yes to eyebrows, no to pointy ears, it's a Highlander Female.
(Also, Highlanders are a lot more buff than Elezen.)

Wait. What? What do elves and wings have to do with each other? They're not fairies. Even if you compare them to the fair folk, the closest you'd get are the sidhe. Not Tinkerbell.

[Serilda]

Please don't give me wings. Thanks. Personally I think I look quite different to a Hyur; some people don't like making their characters look so striking but that's not the game's fault. You can make a Hyur-like Miqo'te too with darker eye colours and the right headwear.

[Moomba33]

Not seeing the similarities to be honest.
I also think it's a bad idea to dramatically alter a race after the game has been out for so long as you risk upsetting the people who chose the race based on its original look.
I know I'd be upset if my character suddenly had wings.

[Khalithar]

Definitely not, we're way better looking. #elezenpride #elezen4lyfe
