Character creation

Uhm. No. Stop yourself.

More facial options sounds good though.

Err, I should of worded that better. I mean, keep the Elezen we have now but add more body types/sliders (like keep everyone's body right now as 'Average' and then add more) so maybe I can make an Elezen character look decent

Keep digging that hole.

Keep digging that hole.

in my honest opinion. I think Elezen don't look great and I wouldn't play them for their weird proportions. I can accept people like them as they are + adding more features to make them bearable for me and the many other players who actively avoid them due to the strange proportions.

I agree, forcibly changing the race would be bad. Giving us body options would go a long way towards moving elezen away from being one of the very least popular pointy eared races in any mmo.

I would actually consider playing one if they didn't run like a Fantasia broom and have the anatomy of savannah wildlife

If you don't like how Elezen look, why contemplate fantaing to an Elezen? They're not for you. Thats ok. They don't all have to be for everyone.

Elezen are beanpoles. Thats arguably their most defining trait. Take away the lankiness and you are left with a hyur with long ears. Saying you'd want to be an Elezen if they weren't Elezen-like is as dumb as me saying, “man, I sure would love playing a lala if they were tall, scaly, and muscular” when I could instead play a race that fits an aesthetic I actually like.

The fact that Hilda exists, in canon, must drive you up the wall.

Oh yeah, when I said Rework I meant to completely change the gangly look of Elezen. But honestly body types could fix that problem, giving every race a few options (Average, Thin, Overweight, Muscular) kind of deal, or just giving more sliders on sections of the body to maybe balance out the weirder parts on Elezen lol

Oh sure. Let's just force Elezen players to join the prestigious ranks of "Humans+". Let's just destroy a races look because it doesn't fit what you like.

It's already bad enough that Yoshi and his team seem adamant on not giving us more unique races in this game, Gods forbid that they have to alter gear models. So lets not go destroying the Elezens (and Roe/Lalas for that matter) uniqueness. Not everything has to fit everyone.

I am perfectly happy playing a giraffe. Just like I assume Lalafells enjoy playing potatoes, and you enjoy playing a human teenager cosplaying as a succubus (Succubus lite?)

Uhm. No. Stop yourself.

Exactly this. More faces and other things like tattoos or facial marks. Less destroying races identities because you don't like em.

"Body types"? What other kind of body types do you expect from the Warrior of Light? We are an "adventurer" whos always on the move, constantly doing physically strenuous exercises in a high fantasy "middle ages" type world. Of course the characters are fit. Its the only thing that makes sense.

Also "so maybe I can make an elezen character look decent?" Rude. But hey. I guess we poor Elezen will never reach the lofty heights of "human teenage girl cosplaying as a succubus or cat". Woe is us.

You should lay off the caffiene buddy. You're the one being rude.

I'm not the one suggesting that we destroy a races look because it doesn't gel with me without any regards to the players who play said race.

Neither is she. She said herself that she worded it poorly, shes not saying she wants to take away the look of current Elezen, simply suggesting more options. Which I must say, I would love to have not just for Elezen but for all the races.
