Just a thought on Elezen.

[Heliantheae]

This!

Personaly, I find their body fine its only two things that I want to see changed:

1. Running and Sprinting animation, I find them awful and this is comming from a Lalafell with her silly walk.

2. Handsome face, males need a handsome face like Aymeric's.

I love the Lalafel power strut.

I love the elezen faces and could deal with the proportions but as soon as they run I don't like them anymore. They should run more elegant not stiff.

I want to see some examples of how people think we should run so that I can get behind it. Because I like the way we run. If I could change one thing about Elezen it would be:

Female: The sidesaddle mount pose sometimes looks ridiculous/impossible on certain mounts, bouncing around.
Male: There are numerous model problems with our hips which are only obvious when sitting wearing trousers. I get around it by not wearing trousers much but it would be nice if my legs could stay attached to my body more often

[Singularity]

Look, there's no need to turn this into an argument. We are all well aware that if SE ever do something with regards to model proportions, it would come in the form of options and/or sliders. Everyone would get to keep the current design or change as they see fit.

My only actual gripe is a technical one - strong side light from certain angles casts bizarre shadows across my character's face, like the geometry isn't aligned properly? The fact that it doesn't even occur from every angle implies to me that it's not intentional. Would be nice to have this fixed.

I don't think this is limited to our wonderful race. This thread (I remembered the title because it was so funny) has a lot of examples of the freaky shading problem: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-the-lights-on

Here is my answer on Elvaan.. Been one since day 1.
Ahh the memories of an early start in 2005.



Oh yes.. and getting to Sandoria for the 1st time..

I also played an Elvaan back on FFXI and love the Elezen race... ELEZEN FOR LIFE!!!

Seriously though, Hyur Male with mustache is one of the most awful looking models I've ever seen and yet, tons of people create these toons it seems. I just don't get it.

Maybe it's just me but... people think Elezen have an odd running gait, I'd say it's the male au ra who have the derpiest running animation of them all by far Just my own perspective and personal opinion.

I agree with this.

Since all races have to move with the same walking and running speed, the taller and leggier options have slower, high-stepping gaits in their animations to compensate.

Au Ra males have a bit of a hop to their run as a result. Elezen bring their knees up. Roes just move a bit slowly.

Conversely, Lalafell look more like Sonic the Hedgehog with how fast they move their legs. It's like 4 steps for them is one step on a Roe.

Our heads a little bit too small, and they could have done the neck elongation a bit smoother, but that's it, really. Everything else is just lanky-ness, which is totally fine.
