Its time to fix Elezen

[Slirith]

They need to fix all the ARR races. Hair color palette doesn't match on ARR races compared to Au Ra(try choosing the redhead orange on an ARR race then on Au Ra)

[SoleilAlphi]

how about NO. There is nothing wrong with elezens, their neck, shoulders and animations are characteristics of their race, and there is absolutely no need to turn them into another hyur copy, more than all races are already hyur copies. How about fixing Roe's proportions instead, they look grotesque. Instead of advocating for changing roe's proportions i simply play another race, since there's people who choose them because of their looks. Just as people choose elezens because of their current looks. But no it's always the elezen to be "disproportionate". Sigh. If you don't like 'em play another race?

Fix every race's necks. Specially when targeting another person, and also while holding a DRK weapon.

As a male elzen player, I'd like them to look less "hunched over" when wearing certain gears. Just look at an elezen wearing any sorta cowl, or wearing a grand company officers coat and you''ll see what I mean, also the heads are a bit small.

It's right in front of my eyes in the fitting room but I really don't understand what you mean.

I'm not sure what you mean either - they stand quite straight. I don't remember ever thinking my Elezen character looked hunched-over.

Re. the heads being a bit small, it's definitely a thing with Elezen, but I also think it's more noticable with the face you picked than the other faces. (Maybe because it's younger-looking so you expect the body to be a bit smaller or differently-proportioned to the others.)

Look at Tharne above. He looks awesome. I find it hard to make elezen that look this good.

I've been concerned since Heavensward about the shrinking # of elezen in the populace. They're a lot cooler in theory than they are in practice. My elezen alt might get swapped into a hrothgar.

Something about female elezen is creepy. They looked better, for me, in 1.0. Not sure if they removed a lot from them, or it's just my brief memory of that game, but I find that female elezen have really bizarre eyes. Their heads remind me of a pencil eraser with faces drawn on. Skinny head, huge eyes, and the proportionally longer ears than the length of their faces makes their heads look even skinnier.

Maybe working from elvaan as a template was a bad idea for them. Elvaan were truly bizarre, misproportioned and ridiculous. Elezen have shorter necks and less gangly arms and that was a step in the right direction.

But I suspect we'll never see elezen fleshed out because their time-honored excuse of memory issues. Honestly SE, just start working on a new MMORPG, this one... I love it, but it hurts to see it hit the wall every time a necessary feature needs to be added.

I like my Robotic Giraffe boy!

But never shy away from more options!

I love Elezens but they could really use a little TLC.

While I'm not keen on some of the Elezen animations, I think it would be a difficult thing to change them now - though it would be nice if they could add some extra animations as alternatives.

I've noticed in cutscenes that Elezen NPCs occasionally do an alternate bow emote (borrowed from Hyuran animations, I think) where the usual dramatic one isn't appropriate. I'd like to have access to that. I don't mind the normal animation but I hate the little backwards stretch they do at the end.
