Yeah i agree that many ppl love the races as they are and i like au ra and miqote even if i see some things that i don't like that mutch. I think they can add more without just deleting all the things that ppl like already.
One example is the height difference between males and females au ra : Why not make a smaller version of male and taller version of females (making the height difference smaller without destroying the spirit or the race)? Something similar to Hyurs highlanders and Midlanders, but choosing the colors of the scales+skin color = choosing your clan just like now.
Making customizations choices avaidable to all faces (horns for au ra) or even different races (for beard or scars) would be cool as well.
It's not something they HAVE to do, there's other things they could do but it would be great and add more variations between the characters.
But with how mutch difficulty they have with viera and hrothgars i don't think we will get more than better textures and maybe new facial options for eatch race (and it's great already don't get me wrong ^^)

Ty for the thought out response! Unfortunately i’m really not a fan of the modern glams. I’ve always been a fan of the medieval type of aspect ff has had, even with some of the futuristic stuff like allagans and garleans. But i’ve always felt it should stick to its roots with the older themed glams. I kind of greatly dislike things like the hoodies and the baseball cap etc just because it feels so out of place and i’m a nerd who likes to feel immersed . I’m not expecting really to get many manly glams or masculine ones in endwalker as i’ve kind of just accepted the way things are. Just thought to put my thoughts out on this and this topic as a whole.

Oof, I feel that. I switched up to the modern aesthetic simply because I gave up on anything else looking good. My glamours are like a real life capsule collection, plus a stash of stuff I'd not normally use if it wasn't for Fashion Report Fridays.

If it helps, and I know it doesn't really, healer gear on my main doesn't make me happy either. You might feel it's largely feminine skewed, and whereas I don't particularly disagree with that sentiment, I don't feel I'm the sort of feminine it might relate to. There's many facets to femininity (as with masculinity). Then, broadly speaking, tank gear is upsetting regardless of gender. Aiming gear is often tragic, again irrespective of gender (and again, broadly speaking). And if you happen to find something that might work, it either won't dye or doesn't dye completely, leaving leftover red sections which are crushing and ruin the effect if you use a dye scheme that has no room for red. It probably makes some people happy, though I think the devs making gear have a largely thankless task and it's impossible to please everyone. I've long since felt things I like are few and far between, even when there's lots and lots to theoretically choose from. I still have enough to make things work, but my goodness, I wouldn't mind some new things after my own heart.

I sincerely hope you (and me!) get nice things for our lads (and lasses!) the way we want in the future. It never hurts to say what you'd like to see, at least.

The same applies. Throwing those terms out just because people disagree with you isn't going persuade anyone to your side.

Does the same apply? I think you may be confused with people who have disagreed and people who conflate the request with being mentally impaired and morally repugnant. Comments that have since been moderated. But I don’t know if that’s just you being wilfully ignorant.

I've read through most of this thread and haven't seen any such comments. If they've been deleted beforehand then you're right, but if they've been deleted it also makes your statement on the first page and the comment I replied to seem like you're just lashing out to anyone that disagrees with you since there's no evidence to the contrary.

I mean, if that's what you consider "lashing out".

I don't see why I should have to catalogue every or any receipt of brazen verbal abuse on this forum, in order to validate my expression of dismay at what I've seen or experienced. I think your response speaks volumes.

And the comment you replied to was correcting someone's distorted perspective that I was somehow extorting and cowing the developers themselves by said dismay e.t.c

Dw sis, I see you

Claiming that people are "homophobic/transphobic" is a very serious accusation, so if you were using against those who were just disagreeing with you then, yes, that would be lashing out. What's more, using those terms willy-nilly devalues their importance.

You only see what you want to see and again, I'm a dude.

But you understand that my comments were in response to seeing actual homophobic/transphobic and generally hateful comments, right?
I fail to see what hill you're trying to defend right now sis

Any examples?

[Allegor]

I'd say you're both half right. There were homophobic/transphobic comments (won't scroll back all that to check if they were deleted tho), but at the same time they're too a small minority (or just trolls) and not an attitude most condone, so it's far from being a general consensus of the forum, let alone the community.

Isn't that a blatant misgender on your part after they specifically told you what they identify as, just because they disagree with you. hmm...
