Elezen :)

I really do have an urge to give Elezen a genuine chance, last time I just switched back to Highlander right away because of the animations.
Having spent some time running around with a new character they're not THAT bad.
They still feel a tad stiff in comparison but not on the level I felt at first.

Is there a way you can link your gear with the glam etc to a new character somehow?
I kinda want to see how she looks in my current glam to compare.

I think you'd have to make one of your main character's retainers into a copy of your alt and dress them up.

Their run is just… gah. But you get used to that, I don’t even notice it anymore. It’s just her run. I look silly when I run too. I can relate

I find the rest of the animations extremely beautiful, there’s something regal and elegant about their movements. And very down to earth at the same time, nothing cutesy. Personally I love that, but personal preference is personal. I’m surprised they are so rare, I absolutely love my character.

I was actually surprised to see how low the numbers are for Highlanders too.
Part of the reason it's hard for me to pass up on my Highlander is because of the animations, I main MNK and I think the animations fit MNK a lot.
They look a bit heavier and more imposing, if I played a spellcaster I'd probably feel differently tho.

Sadly my retainers are low level, I've neglected them ( leveling them now tho ).
But I found this! https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model
Neat online model viewer, sadly low quality tho.

Yeah I fully get that, they suit casters very well, I agree. I’ve only dabbled in SAM when it comes to melee, so I’m clueless there haha. From observation I’d agree some other races suit melee better, better oomph factor there, so I get your dilemma. Stuff like that is personal, for some that kind of contrast is exactly what makes it fun while for others it doesn’t click.

Elezen master race.

The giraffe neck and low shoulders have forced me away from certain gear glamours, though.

I honestly miss my Elezen... She had a perpetual 'Worried' look.

You changed from that elezen!? Fantasia, get naked, recustom, load appearance data, happy

[_Pigzig]

we really need the other models of elezen playable, elphanaud and the heavensward leader guy (forgot his name)
love the race but really want to look like him

I've been playing Elezen for the last few years now. I like playing the women because you can really make them androgynous. A lot of people never even realized mine was female. I was trying to create a character similar to Faris from FFV so that's exactly what I was going for. But I totally agree. I see more females than males but it's nice seeing them in a roulette party every once and a while. It seems they're one of the least popular races right next to the Roes and Highlanders (who I also think look awesome if created right...especially the women <3)

Someone on Youtube posted a poll asking what their favorite race was and immediately the Roes and Elezens were voted out. It's a shame.

The reality is people love what they don't have the guts to be.
