Character creation

Not necessarily directed at you, as it's a common theme to lump Elezen, Highlander and Roe together, as the least played races, and suggest they need changes to fix an individual's personal definition of cute. Usually said individuals play Miqo'te and Au Ra, two generic races that are so ubiquitous and dull they are almost invisible.

That said, I think Elezen are perfectly proportioned, perhaps even the most attractive race. Similarly, Elvaan were among the most attractive in XI.

You clearly don't share this opinion, and that's ok. For you, there's choices in other races. Elezen shouldn't be changed just to suit and diversity/variety should be encouraged.

No see, i'm fine with Elezen having the body type they have now...but adding more body types could make the race more appealing for people who don't love the broad shoulder/smaller head look but still want to enjoy the race. I don't understand why people here think it would ruin the race and not make them unique/Elezen like to maybe have an option with more hips/butt/thighs so that the shoulders don't look so broad.

Like I said before, this isn't directed at just Elezen. I'd like to see Muscular taller women Miqo'te, Smaller bottom heavy Roe women as an example. I just don't agree that giving body types/more options would ruin the races since it seems unlikely that every single character in the game should have the same body type (I'm sure some rich Ishgardians exist who are fat and just sit on their ass eating and being wealthy)

Ultimately this strikes to the heart of the question of "what is Elezen?" and the answer isn't Hyur with elf ears.

The race has a defined, recognisable body type which if drastically altered, purely for aesthetics, would detract from the race as a whole. Making a more rounded Elezen is a nice thought, but why not just make a Midlander?

Hyur sized Lalafells or Hyur shaped Elezens or Hyur proportioned Roe can already, to some degree, be experienced by playing a Hyur.

Until then, a few new faces and revamped unique hairstyles for the ladies would be already more than enough IMO.

Elezen are perfect, one of the most attractive races who honestly only need a bit more diversity in faces (as they only actually have two)

Using data which shows a majority of the playerbase is running around as catgirls and demon-lizards isn't evidence that Elezen, Highlanders or Roes need a rework to be more cute. I would wager many actually prefer the above to the horribly generic Miqo'te and Au Ra, but simply lack the time, patience or ability to make a nice one in Character Creator.

This.

Pretty tired of generic waifus making threads asking for Elezen and Highlanders in particular to be changed, or in this thread singling Elezen out for being "unattractive". Despite you know, many people thinking that they are very attractive just the way they are. I don't think anyone is saying no to more body types, but asking for sliders to get rid of broad shoulders and long necks is obnoxious.

I think Elezen are also perfect but an option to have more natural proportions for them wouldn't hurt. For any race, really.

Like a slim body type or maybe a bulkier body type for everyone, especially Elezen or Au Ra. That would be pretty great.

Also something else is for Au Ra to get more scales or spikes all over their bodies etc.

This was my original idea, giving everyone a set of four bodies (Average (the ones we have currently), Musuclar, Thin, Overweight) or just more sliders to balance out proportions people may or may not like. Its the same reason they have a bust slider, Some people might not want huge boobs.

More scale options would also be super awesome, especially considering how the beta design looked with the Au Ra covered in scales (also Au Ra faces separate from horns/face scales)

between this and glamour it's really sad to see everyone looking pretty much the same. I wish they updated the character creation choices

[Dalmacus]

Not sure why other races besides hyur can't adjust muscle mass

Other races have features that take up the "customization slot" within the character creation.

Hyur:
-More faces
-Muscle slider

Elezen:
-Ear type
-Ear Slider
-Ear Clasps

[Okamimaru]

Double the faces for all races, maybe remove the ear clasp/earrings as part of customization (cuz we already get visible earrings as gears), add an "athleticism" slider going from ripped to out of shape...
