    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 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.

    This would be the best option. Although admittedly there will probably be more complaints about how people can't customize their 3rd eyes considering how many RP profiles there are that insinuate that the character is of Garlean relation.

    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.

    Possible but sticking to the topic, they don't have the Garlean third eye(and they can't since only purebloods have that, which you would know if you remembered Arenvald's back story).
