If I may -- and please correct me if I'm wrong -- I think the argument is that XIV should have more character options and models that are accommodating for those whose preferences or real life circumstances are not compatible with the "big guys, small girls" aesthetic and yet who also like the gameplay, RP, or community of the game.
Now, personally, I'm not sure I agree with that; if the artistic vision of the game is that lalafell are the only androgynous race (and I sure can't tell them apart sometimes
), then I don't think the designers should change that to accommodate people. However, since we've already seen that the devs make design choices for reasons other than an artistic vision, one could make an argument for simply adding more creation options, which I think everyone would enjoy...
...at least until the technical limitations of the PS3 come into play. I hate to keep harping on that, but it annoys me that we PC users, as usual, get the shaft due to sharing code with consoles. :/
