Oh yeah I def noticed that when making her, variety in faces in non-existent haha. In that sense I do get those who’d love some tweaks in the character creation, that would be amazing. I guess I’m weird but I would regret it a bit if they made the proportions more ‘correct’, I actually like the somewhat elongated proportions. In that sense I feel they fill their own niche, they bring something very different to the table. With glams I feel it’s a bit of the same thing, they may not work the best in some glams but work great in others which may suit other races less well. Personally I love the rather classical outfits anyway, and on an Elezen they look fantastic. But I get your points, and I understand it will prevent some from playing one even tho in theory they might like to.

It's not that elezen are ugly, they're far from it. Their proportions are just.. off and extremely hard to glamour around. If they had the proportions of Viera, then a lot more people would play them since Viera more or less fits the frame for female Elezen and glamour actually looks good on Viera in many different armor sets/styles. For Elezen it's harder to make them look good in different glamour sets aside from elegant or classy glamours, or try to make them look like Bayonetta most of the time, plus they run weird. That's a big turn off for a lot of players, myself included. If elezen didn't run so strangely, I definitely would be playing one right now since I usually always play taller races or elves in MMOs.

Their emotes aren't as expressive either, similar to Viera and apparently a lot of people want to go for a cutesy appearance like Miqo'te or Au Ra, which those races can easily fit so many different glamour styles without looking strange and their run/sprint animations are really good. Female Elezen are also unfortunately limited to really 2 faces, the mature face with and without make up, and the youthful face with and without make up. The other races at least has some variety with their face options, especially for their female characters. Elezen... not so much :c

I agree but I've also found certain glams look extra good on elezen. I would be happy if they made the run animation a bit less ridged but I like being a rarity . This is what I currently look like, I tried this look on miqo before and it looked really off. https://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/f/7...223.1632788919

Yeah, Elezen are pretty neat.

I love how both elezen and bunny girls look. I just can't play them. There is something in the females of both races with the animations where they just SNAP very abruptly into the default standing pose. It is so abrupt and jarring I just can't stand to see it.

I really wish I could play either race but I can't get past that one thing.

I don't often see a nice looking elezen- Most people make really ugly, androgynous elezen or because of how all of their faces look the same, you don't see a unique one.
I did like my long girl when I had her, but their run animation and body proportions just made me change back to a cat. If they had more appealing hairstyles and better running animations, I'd only play them
This was her
