Now before I start, let me say I do appreciate how most of them look and I'm in no way trying to bash Square Enix on this. I'm aware this is a personal issue.
I'm also aware some people might think "Who gives a damn" but I would really like to know how other people feel and if they might have/had the same problem.
Over the course of years, I have used Fantasias quite a bit. I used to think it was due to me liking how they all look and that it was making me indecisive but I realize now it's because none of them hit the sweet spot.
I personally love playing Elves or small races (what they are called depends on the game) but neither Elezen nor Lalafell fully appeal to me.
Elezen, just like Elves in general, can feel very elegant but I don't like their faces and I cannot get over their neck and animations.
Lalafells are adorable when played by other people but when I try I cannot get over the "toddler" walk and neither do I feel like they portray what I wish to portray when I want a more badass/edgy look.
Miqo'te are very cute and all of their customization/animations/emotes are good. It's no wonder they are that popular. Butt.. that is also where my issue lies.
Currently, I'm playing a Miqo'te and I see a twin version of myself (minus skin/hair/eye) every 2 minutes. It makes me wish even more for more in-depth customization.
Au ra have an entire problem of their own with the horns not being separated from the faces and as you might guess, yes I'm one of those who suffers from their fav face being stuck to horns I don't like and vice versa.
Viera is a very limited race and therefore I already cannot play it. I want to be able to use my unlocked and bought hairstyles as well as hats. Other than that, very beautiful race.
Hyur, well.. they have nothing that stands out to me. I know, they are just your everyday human race and I get it but that never appealed to me as much in fantasy MMO's.
and unfortunately, Roegadyn is just not my cup of tea.
This makes it so whenever I decide on a race, I start seeing the things I don't like about it then I get tempted by another race because "the grass seems greener", just to end up not liking it again because "insert reason here".
It has been a never ending cycle so far. All the races have something that I either like but also dislike or is not my cup of tea period and I feel this is mostly due to the lack of "real" customization options.
Anyone else has/had this problem? and if you had, how did you overcome it?
