    Why do the Male Elezen monks have such a feminine version of the AF body piece?

    If you look at the Elezen male monk body piece compared to the other males, you'll notice its different... It has an odd plunging neckline, and little poofy sleeves. Is this a mistake?? Im a 50 elezen male monk in full AF and I feel like I look ridiculous compared to the other male monks.. SE please fix this!

    Elven or elven-like males in many fantasy worlds are effeminate, its kindda a racial trait for the most part

    Frankly seeing a burly/manly elven male would be wierd

    Two things:

    1. The default Monk AF (the Hyur version) also has "poofy sleeves". It's supposed to have them, some classes not having them is the exception not the rule.

    2. The "plunging neckline" is just the same Temple Cyclas without the black undershirt that Hyur males have. If you noticed, Roegadyns (one of the "mainliest" races) also do not have the undershirt. This actually bugs me because I like the black shirt underneath and wish Elezens had them.

    Moral of the story? They aren't singling out Elezens or trying to make them look feminine with the Monk AF. That's just how it looks. And honestly? The only real lame part of the Monk AF in my opinion is the stupid yellow shorts. They should have been pants, going fully down to the boots with no bare leg sticking out in-between.
