Neck slider when?

This thread reminded me of this The Onion video lol.

This is the character creation I demand.

The game is desperately in need of an expanded and revamped character customisation system. Elves are usually one of the most popular picks in any fantasy game where they are available. That they aren't in FFXIV is a clear sign that there's major design flaws at play. It exists with other options, too - Highlander men being unable to have real eyebrows and more attractive facial features also lessens their overall appeal.

But they're not elves... though, just because they have budget knife ears, they are their own giraffe necked race..
look at Divinity Elves, they also have a similar image.

They're also explicitly called 'Elves' on the First...

and Lalafell are called dwarves, what's your point lol.

The point is that Elezen are quite clearly meant to be the game's equivalent of Elves. Which they are, though rather than be handled in a way that makes them live up to their usual popularity they're now held hostage to niche aesthetics that can apparently never, ever be changed or improved upon.

Gotta love it when people want to homogenize races into generic fantasy ones, what's that your elf inspired race does not adhere to tolkien's image? Heretics.

That's but one potential aesthetic for them. I'm sure they'd also be exceptionally popular if they were closer to the Night Elves or Blood Elves of World of Warcraft. Or the Altmer of Elder Scrolls.

They’re basically the equivalent lol.

Guess I never saw the issue as I’m used to the elezen with long necks as they had the same in FF11. I’d rather get a butt slider

How about no? Many of us are quite happy with our elezens and embrace the giraffe jokes. I’m honestly tired of people trying to get them to change us into tall midlanders with pointy ears
