True, though I don’t know just how much we’ll ever get. It would be nice to have more sliders for various things to create a truly custom look. Or barring that, more face and body options to give a lot more variety. Still holding out some hope they will add a few new things to the character creator to show off their graphic updates.

As a Lala myself, I can understand OPs frustration. It’s my favorite (assuming we never get Hilda’s half-Elezen ears added to Hyur…), and I love the look, but there should be a range between ultra cute sprite and war-hardened dwarf! lol I’d like to see big lush beards for the males and some burly muscle tone, for the bust slider to actually do something for the females, and different body style options across the board for all races. As OP says, not everyone who wants to play small wants to be seen as cute or comedic, and we definitely don’t want to be infantilized.

Maybe this is an area where adding more sub-races could help? There’s already 2… doubling that could go a long way to adding more variety, and add in lore reasons to explain the difference in appearance. But really I think I’d just rather see more options added to what we already have: more face types, more body types, more hair and facial hair options. Enough that everyone playing the same sub-race doesn’t look almost exactly alike except for color choice options.
