Elezen Guys: Endangered Species - Ozma - 11-04-2015
Granted I have only been on Balmung for 5 days and most likely haven't been around in game during the hours I work, I was beginning to think that there was a lack of Elezen guys compared to my original realm (Behemoth).Â
In fact, it became a bit of a favorite past time game between me and my small circle of friends to play Where's Waldo game, but with Elezen guys. On an average good day I can spot 3 in Ul'dah alone and 5~8 in Ishgard compared to the vast majority of guys being lightly dressed Miqo'te which number anywhere between 30~50 per city on average.Â
How does the resident Elezen players feel about their dwindling number of guys that seem to me like they're on a straight path to become the endangered species? Or am I simply not looking hard enough? Is there a specific map where they all hide inside a cave huddled together to avoid the eyes of Eorzea?Â
I thought that since the new expansion focuses on Ishigard that from a roleplaying realm's perspective there would be a large number of people roleplaying as Elezen but it's interesting to see that majority players seems to be playing as Miqo'te.Â
Just a reminder, this is not a hate thread against Miqo'te, there's nothing wrong with you for playing one.

Elezen Male players Unite!

You're looking in the wrong places, hon. They're all over the place. Just make giraffe noises, they'll come running.

The Miqo'te plague is spreading.
Soon everyone will be shirtless Nunh or skimpy dressed catgirls.
ASSIMILATE !

So they're all staying afk in Nevereap staring at those Giraffe like creatures after the 2nd boss? It's not a huge wonder why they could not be found.

Keep looking, you're bound to find some. I did, anyroad.

Use the magical cry of "hon hon hon, je suis un petit anana." They'll be there.
I think aside from the Miqote, I see Elezen the most. But that may be because my FC has a decent number of them. That was at least until the Au Ra...
RE: Elezen Guys: Endangered Species - Lydia Lightfoot - 11-04-2015
There's plenty of Elezen.
They're just off somewhere private, necking...
NECKING.
...I'll let myself out.

You rang?Â
That aside, I kind of prefer being rare with Mar (Go Team Duskie!) rather than some of the other races where you see half a dozen every time you take ten steps. Sure, it doesn't accurately display the game world, but it is what it is.

I have three giraffes: Alfort, Reilan, and Celeste. We're around, you just have to climb the tress to find us.

Yeah, I can't really comment since when I'm running around our neighborhood in the Mist there's tons of the lanky bastards about, I think Au Ra are neck and neck (har har) in our... neck... of the woods lately, though.
Too many references to giraffe necks in one post.

Hmm.... am I correct in believing that most guys and girls who dare to venture and create a male Elezen are instantly having second thoughts when they see the length of their character's necks? Is this the primary reason why they are on the endangered species list next to the Dodo Colony living outside Limsa?
RE: Elezen Guys: Endangered Species - Garalona - 11-04-2015
Their proportions from head to toe are kind of weirdly elongated, which gives a lot of people pause. Mostly people expect their MMO elves to be lithe and graceful creatures, elezen always struck me as being more gawky.
RE: Elezen Guys: Endangered Species - myahele - 11-04-2015
In addition to their weird proportions, Elezen males -to me- run so awkwardly.
There weren't too many of them before and I am sure many Elezen males switched to Au Ra, so now their numbers dwindled a bit
RE: Elezen Guys: Endangered Species - Paradox - 11-05-2015
I have several Elezen males and they're my favorite race by far. We know a lot about them..more than some races, which is great for character building. My biggest problem is that they just..they look like they have the dietary habits of a wild supermodel. I'd love to get sliders for the sole purpose of adding a *little* more structure to them. They don't have to look like Highlanders, but I keep being afraid some Dragoon is going to grab my Elezen instead of his lance one day by accident.
