    Garlean Third Eye Customization option

    I think Hyurs should have a Garlean third eye customization option. New races aren't going to be added to the game, so I feel like it would be nice if this could be added. The two arguments I can see people giving towards this are "but garleans can also have an elezen body type" and "it wouldn't make any sense in terms of story". As far as the body type, I can't really argue against that, but something is better than nothing. As for it not making sense story wise, the main characters never acknowledge your character's race anyway, so I feel like it wouldn't really matter.

    A third eye option (as well as rounded ears) might be nice for Elezen as well, just to help account for the different Garlean body types we've seen.

    A customization option for the 3rd eye would make 1000x more sense then adding Garleans as a whole Race.
    Heck, ill settle for a 3rd Hyur Clan.

    A common misconception. The Warrior of Light is already the exception to a great many rules and Pureblood Garleans are not unable to manipulate aether altogether - it's simply exceedingly rare or requires workarounds such as making pacts with Voidsent.

    That aside, when people ask for a Garlean third eye option they're typically doing so out of a desire to role-play. Role-players do not often portray their character as a 'Warrior of Light' but simply someone who happens to live within the game world. Be it a merchant, noble, bandit, mercenary or Garlean.

    Yeah, I don't really see the problem with adding it in even as some sort of glamour for players. They could possibly refer to it as a "disguise" or something, for players, at least.

    By all means, give examples, and no being Resonant doesn't count as the WoL predates the technology for it

    Says who? I know that garleans can't manipulate aether, but again they never put attention to your character's race in the story. It would be a really fun addition for the roleplayers, as well as anyone else who wants to play a garlean character. And I can guarantee you that there's a lot of them.

    That's from one of the lore books, stating that the arcane arts have eluded all but a few - and as we know from the Reaper quests, a Pureblood Garlean can make a pact with Voidsent in order to wield aether.

    Male Viera were also previously painted as being 'unseen' outside of their forests up until they were added to the game as of Endwalker. Au Ra weren't seen at all until the later portion of ARR with Yugiri's introduction. The same with Hrothgar before Shadowbringers.

    Firmly agreed. I've met a lot of Garlean roleplayers over the years and it's been a pretty common desire in many circles that I've moved in.
