The State of Male Character Creation

[Allegor]

Athletic and muscular builds, while not mutually exclusive, are not the same thing. Midlander, Miqo, Elezen, and popoto are most definitely not muscular. That said, it'd be nice if all races could have a body slider, or at least preset bodies to chose from like GW II.

Midlander and Miqo are most definitely muscular (have you seen how broad a Miqo's back is?), as are Au Ra. Elezen I would agree on more, I'd count them as athletic and somewhat slender, though their tallness offsets that to a degree. But it's the only race that comes close to any sort of androgyny.

Either way, I would rather have seen a small, slender, tough and sinewy bunny man than a roe with a cat mask.

Stop comparing the other male races to cartoonishly muscular roes. The males in this game are just varying degrees of ripped. Even if you turn the muscle tone slider down the muscles are the same size just less defined. Lalas don't count they're a joke race.

I wasn't, but thanks for assuming. Literally the first thing I typed was athletic and muscular builds are not mutually exclusive, simply that those races follow an athletic build pattern, rather than a muscular one. In other words, it's like comparing a sports player, say, basketball or soccer, with a bodybuilder or a strongman, they're 'fit', but not 'big'. And redirecting once again to my second statement, body sliders or preset body types would solve it for those that don't want to be in such shape.

Yeah, this bad boy must hit the gym at least once... per decade.

See how thin Alphinaud is?



I think Alphinaud's body type would work out very well for male viera, and I have a feeling would be popular as well. Right now, compared to Alphinaud's body type, the other races are more muscular and in general bigger/broader than his. Personally, what I would like to see is a short and slim male viera, as that is the body type I feel is missing from the other races.

That has absolutly nothing to do with my point but okay.
You like the body of a 16 years old elezen. Good for you, I guess.
