Alphinaud Built for male Mi'qotes (and other races)

[Loggos]

Edit: I definitely don't want to get rid of the muscular built for Mi'qote! I'd just be happy to have an extension of body shapes! Taking the muscular one away would be restriction just in another direction.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to adress the issue of uniform body builts. While faces are rather flexible it is a bit sad, that all the body shapes look the same (except if you are lucky to have a muscle slider which some races don't). This is specially disturbing if you have faces that just don't go well with a ripped body.
It's specially weird for male mi'qotes whose face you can make really androgyne, sweet/soft and boyish - just to slap adult and tough Mr. Universum beneath their chin...
It's just not very...consistent for my personal taste...

I know not everyone likes the andorgyne build and might find it "gay" and girly and whatsoever but not everyone likes the body builder shape either.
Really, I wish I could make a char that does not look muscular but normal, or even fragile.

The body shape and face of Alphinaud suit this category really well and hell, I'd even pay money to get those body size and tender face options*. Yes, the fangirl has spoken! But I don't think it's much worse than enthusing about cute kitty girls.
I know he is an Elezen, but we also have cross-racial hair styles so it would be amazing if his or a similar model for body and face could be applied to other races.




I know SE is busy with other things right now but I don't ask for it instantly, anyways! If it could come in a year, that would ok. I can wait and save my Fantasia for that.
But just the chance of it coming would be super duper amazing!

Please note that I don't suggest a cash shop with this. I just want to express that I really want this and that I'd go some way for it. xD

This especially noticeable in Lalafells who get no body options below the neck.

The body options for males are really lacking. Females get a huge amount of choices from small and cute to tall and curvy. Males get muscles or lala.

Alphy had a lot of skin showing which confused me half the time when looking at him. Couldn't tell if it was him, or his sister most times. xD

Well i wouldn't say that all Male Mi'qotes have soft features, i like to think mine is definitively masculine. But I see your point; There should be more control over body shape and features other then height. Maybe pre-set builds? Muscular, slim, feminine, voluptuous, chubby…. So on and so forwarth. I say preset because I imagine too much control over body time may make it difficult to make sure the armor/clothing looks right.

@ Gramis

I agree. Also with the preset. But at least different pre-set bodies would be nice. Maybe make it similar to the face system: You have different pre-set bases/foundations and can adjust the details.

Gosh, Alphinaud is so pretty though. * o*;
I do agree, I would like some more body shape options, especially for males. Like someone else said, Lalafells literally get nothing below the neck. Even females.....

I'd like a softer body choice for my Miqo'te, as well as the other races since it's only fair. Just look at his face, you can see that I made it as soft as possible! How can I pretend he's an anime character when he's so buff?!

I also wanted a more like teenage looking model. Gotta follow that shonen formula, yo!
