More character models instead on new races

[DarkMasamune]

Alisaie and Alphinaud simply are elezens. According to the Encyclopedia, Elezens don't reach maturity until they are in their twenties, and that is why they stay smaller in comparison to older elezens (its even mentioned that they are mocked by hyurs at a young age because of that). I guess since Alisaie and Alphinaud aren't over twenty years old, they are smaller, but they are still elezens regardless.

The Warrior of Light clearly is an adult, so I guess that wouldn't be a possibility

I don't think we will ever get Alisaie/Alphinaud face models. They are about 16 y.o., while our characters are definetely in their 20's at least.
As for Aymeric - it would be cool, but probably SE will prefer to keep him unique, same as few other characters.

Yoshi-P was asked about graphic/character creator a lot lately, and for graphic he said that it's not on the table at least until PS4 will be replaced with next generation (not to mention that a lot of players play on quite bad PCs). I think that if we will ever get new character creator (or at least new options in recent one) - it will be implemented with graphics update. So... not in nearest future, most likely.

They’ll probably do this in 6.0. Something tells me that the plump Miqo’te that will be in Shadowbringers are some kind of test for body shape options.

I've said this every expansion; More options for existing races > new races. 100% of your playerbase play the existing races, and can benefit from more options on them. A significantly smaller portion will play new races.

A would like to be able to make my character a bit taller please.

Big fat no. They would have to rework 20000+ pieces of gear for every race/gender.

If they reuse a model body from another race, they don't have to do that. The gear is already mapped to the skeleton. Ask anyone who has experience with how texture mods work, I don't though, don't ask me, I don't know anything about mods whatsoever.

They were considering it, but now that they caved to male viera and female furries it won't happen until 7.0.

[Bright-Flower]

Making other models like Alph's playable wouldn't be any less intensive on the dev team having to make a plethora of cosmetic options AND having to fit armor models onto them than it would be for new races so I don't expect this to happen.

Butt sliders are clearly the more pressing issue.

Idk about y'all but I'd rather have more badonkadonk in my trunk for all races.
