I find the characters in this game really ugly/weird

I need to know how anyone can take the OP seriously with a signature like that. It keeps me up at night. Truly it does.

I guess I'm beating a dead horse but yeah, the non-human races of WoW were awesome. Kinda disappointing that every FFXIV race is just another variation of a human.

What do you mean by that exactly? No, they're not "Humans" as in they belong to our species and etc. Humans as in Humanoid looking then yes. We've talked about it in the other thread on this. Hrothgars are the most beastly looking race, and they're aren't any less beastly looking than say the Lupin. The "beast" tribes are very vastly looking different from each other as well. In other words, these terms are primarily social constructs created by the elite of Ul'dah, and they're not used either in the Far East or in the First.

Like all great art I see it has captured your imagination.

I prefer ESO's art style over WoW's any day of the century, but that's my opinion.

Was talking about my signature lol but I'll comment on this anyway.
WoW kind of pioneered that whole cartoony look that a lot of games use, especially on mobile. So it should be credited for that. WoW's artstyle actually changed over time though. When it launched the artstyle was different but it was actually very impressive looking. Hard to imagine now but this was before even games like ES:Oblivion.

I do love cartoony artstyle myself. For example, I love the artstyle of DragonBall Xenoverse games. I do like the WoW recent artstyle from 2014 more than the old one which is pretty dated to say the least even though I don't really like it. I also like Overwatch artstyle a lot as well. Oblviion's graphics were great back then, but now, it looks very dated and ugly if you don't use mods to replace the head and body models. I like FFXIV artstyle which has a distinct Final Fantasy flavor to it.

I dunno, I think most of the races (Lalafel still remind me of the Capybara tribe from Granado Espada) and characters can be endearing until their expressions start to exaggerate. Some of them are downright adorable.

On my way to commit war crimes against Lalafell slanderers.
