Exactly.
This is not real life, its a fantasy world - why is there a need to remodel real life racial features in this not-real life setting?
Why try to make a midlander Hyur look like black person when their origin is clearly not africa? Thats like telling europeans that they have to try to look more black.

I'd say that depending on race and their specific lore and origin stories it would be easier to make a more ethnic looking character - just how you get more asian-type faces for Au Ra because, well, they're from the "asia" or east in Eorzea.

I'll admit that I've never tried to model anything but super-pale characters but I'd guess that if you pick a fitting race you can actually re-create racial features if you desire to do so. That race might just not be midlander for some of those because that race is drawing more from other influences.

But bottomline: we have stuff in game that doesnt exist in real life and that seems okay to you. Why isnt it okay then to have real life stuff missing from the game?
