Can we get normal manly males ?

For all the people who say Highlander males are ugly or don’t look right.

well yeah he is handsome! it’s the only good looking face option with fake eyebrows tho. the rest is unga bunga looking. just shows how lacking they are and how they are in dire need of better face options (so you don‘t see only clones of yourself) and actual eyebrows!

i just hope for a reworked character creation in the future, across all races..

Don't think OP said they look ugly. Highlanders would fit really well as Ken dolls in Barbie's Pirate Booty Adventure and Barbie's Arabian Nights. Some people find that aesthetic attractive, others prefer more normal and traditional manly characters, which is what OP was requesting.

If nothing else, the XIV forums taught me that I do not nor will I ever understand what "normal and traditionally manly" means.

It's easy. Show 100 people these 2 pictures and ask them which one they consider more manly, whichever gets more votes it's what's considered normal and traditional in this western areas.

What do either of those have to do with highlanders though? OP wants to look like Cid, a highlander with a custom face. The person you quoted is a player with a highlander character. Somehow the quoted person is not traditionally normal and/or manly, despite the only difference between their character and Cid being melanin and a shorter beard. I dungettit.

Frankly I think highlanders are hot, they just need eyebrows.

Well yes, but the second one appears to be defined as manly in the same ways that Highlanders would be defined as manly, so I'm with Rokke on not understanding why you'd single them out as not.

Also the other pictures, while not "traditionally manly" (according to what may be a shorter span of history than you realise), the other pictures are neither feminine nor androgynous but still clearly men.

I don't think that actor is actually better to illustrate the point. He has a strong jaw and he's in make up there to look more vampiric, but even so I think he looks better between the two. The second guy just looks bizarre to my eyes, in spite of the musculature. Maybe it's the angle of the shot, maybe it's his facial proportions, but the first one's look better balanced.

OP is right especially Male Hyur and Male Miqote xD. A female Roe is more manly xD

Yes, considering they're built almost to the same size as a male highlander or Au Ra... solely a consequence of them being the female counterpart to a race built like a fridge. So not too surprising, if you're just going off the build.

I would never play one as in the end, they don't look like men, they look like large women. They just need to do some work on the already available options like Highlanders and Au Ra. I'd love it if they gave midlanders the option to go for more muscular builds, but no doubt, too much work...

I deleted all my posts from this thread. I have no opinion anymore on any of it. I understand now why people post on their alts on this forum. I absolutely do not want to talk about any of this on my character in game. I’m sorry if anything I said offended anyone.

Sadly does not change the quoted comments.
