Shorter elezen necks

[Kling-Klang]

Their bodies just need to be slimmer or a bit bigger heads.

As someone who roleplays an Elezen(and thus their appearance is the most important thing to me), leave my Elezen neck alone! First and foremost, I made the character because I like how she looks. If she gets changed, she won't be the character I intended her to be any more. Her looks play a big part in her personality.

But more importantly: I have seen people in the thread say things like that they wanted to play an Elezen, but because of their neck they played a Hume instead. All that tells me is that you want to play a human character. So do it. Elezen have a few things unique to their body structure that make them not just look like a blown up human. And other than Lalafels they are the only race that isn't just a human scaled to a different size and recolored with some added tails, ears, and horns.

I WISH every race looked more unique than they do, but unfortunately we are stuck with everyone just being different representations of humans. It's bad enough as it is, please stop trying to make everyone into the same thing.

"Stop liking things that look too human" is what i heard.

I like having characters with human proportions, i also like exciting features such as pointy ears. Am i a terrible person just for wanting that? Nobody's saying anything about changing YOUR character. I want MY character to look the way I want it to. Is that such a horrible thing?

So, we can all agree that we should just have more options for everyone so that those who like the current versions are happy, and those who want mods can do so.

So, PS3 is neing dropped from it's limiting hardware and a good chunk of Stormblood's 35mil budget is going to be put toward some server restructuring~

SE I hope you hear our wishes!

Come now..not this complicated good people. Elezen necks are long for the same reason we have 2-4 races running around looking like preadolescant schoolgirls....its more palatable to the japanese culture. No,Im not being racist, go ahead and google long necks/Geisha eroticism/japan if ya doubt. Its considered beautiful. Consider the art styles ranging back from the Genji era (look at me like I know wtf Im talking about). I dunno...along with the ears, I guess it just supports the visual acknowledgement that they're not human.

In favor of sliders though. Hell..I want mom hips and a tush I can slap with a boat paddle for my femroe but Yoshi said no ; ;

I say we leave them the way they are and "fix" the male running animation. DON'T HATE ME! /flee

[Antonio_Xul]

Genuine question. I've heard this for a long time but I've never really understood; why is the Elezen running animation so strongly disliked? I run all the time and think my character looks cool :<

It's because they are so stiff and upright looking and the way their arms are positioned.

Look at Velma here. Kind of like this.


When people really run, they are at a slight forward slant.

Due to this, I run with weapon out, so I don't run that way.

I always compared the M!Elezan run to that of a dressage horse.

It has a high stepping gait that's intentionally taught as it's not a natural canter. To me, it adds to the pompous air that Elezan often give.

[Alacran]

Why not ask for a sub option of half elf from Elezen? They could be Hyur with pointy ears and Elezen movement/ emote rigging. not like they don't already exist in the game...

[RethDaron]

It's been a 'characteristic' of the race for SE since XI. Won't change.

[DreamAngel-Ren]

IMO female midlanders have the worst run.

HEY! Don't be hatin' on my princess run! XD
Midlander hyur for life!!
