10 Reasons to Play an Elezen in FFXIV

[@minaly22]

4:43 "Cover them up you shameless elf! You're distracting the healer!" Me, the healer main, clicking on people and 'examine' them during boss fights. I feel very called out.

[@dragonmanj]

As an Elezen player I love this video! heck the portion where you were showing off how good male elezen look in armor that model looked almost exactly like my male Elezen haha. Glad to know you have a friend who has a good sense in style!

[@rossker123]

Finally, the elezen propaganda I've been needing. Thank you from a long neccy friend

[@BananaMuffins238]

That because people mainly promote Femroes on Reddit and Twitter/X

[@TheSingingBUn]

As a fem elezen main, my favourite expansion is shadowbringers but, yes, Ishgard to me is my Elezen Warrior of Light's home. Not just cause its where most elezens are situated in, but in terms of msq, no place has ever been more significant to the Warrior of Light's journey than in Ishgard. They may have zealots, biases and nobles, but once you earn their trust, they would keep you in their hearts and win you over with a warm hearth and good hearty meal. In truth, I just want to be a tall lady irl, but over time, the supposed 'funny' runs, the broad shoulders and the specific choice of glamours that works best became part of the charm that made me attached to her. Funny thing to note, is that a lot of elezen players are actually more casual players who show up every patch/expansion release day, so expect to see them pop up in the incoming patch cycles. Not to mention, depends on which DC you're on. NA dcs have a good chunk of elezens spotted during roulettes. Oceania? Not so much, let alone JP dcs, but I'm not too sure about EU dcs. Then there's also a trend among a lot of elezen players not hanging out in city states most of the time. You'll find them more hanging out in their fc/personal houses/apartments or run around doing quests or raiding.

[@Auri13]

I main a female elezen too! Ishgard is totally my home. I'm on a NA server & am a casual player. Just wanted to say that you are 💯 correct in your description.

[@BarkAndBackpack]

Female elezen as well, and Shadowbringers was for sure my favorite too! but hw was where I really felt like I started to enjoy the story. (maybe because ARR fetch quests are so boring haha). But who didn't love Nidhogg.

[@adriannnn1997]

“It’s just a fact in my opinion.” -AvyCatte, 2023

[@plumdowner1941]

Duskwight elezen players are so rare. It's like seeing a shiny version of a legendary pokemon.

[@samwise3697]

I actually know several Elezen (I play an Au Ra) and it is funny to run into people with them going "Woah!" I also ran into a shiny Elezen once: a blue Elezen with white hair. My mind shut down with how gorgeous they were

[@voidbot3195]

haha, maybe you saw me! I will admit, i spend longer than I should looking at my pretty, pretty blue elezen and his long white hair.

[@Dreded100]

I've been playing Au ra for as long as I can remember, but I must admit this video has me tempted to take a walk on the Elezen side.

[@avycatte]

Time for the tall girl summer. 👀

[@littleman6950]

Fem Au Ra player (the alternative cat girl of FFXIV.) I have to admit when I consider using my fantasia, it's to either go Hyur (either clan) or Elezen. Just wish female Elezen heads were slightly larger. Males are fine.

[@HDDVD-ROM]

The female Elezen at the end of the video looked amazing

[@Damesanglante]

I love tall girls. 🤤

[@pachi1014]

The aura to elezen pipeline 😂 i just fantasia'd my main earlier from xaela to duskwight before i saw this video

[@Shannyn316]

As someone who picks elf in every mmo I play at this point, I'm glad I finally landed and stuck on a Duskwight fem Elezen, even just in the rp scene I get so excited when I see another Elezen :D There was an Elezen beach party sometime last year and when I went I was blown AWAY by just how many people had shown up, it was lovely ;;__;;

[@luludrinkerofcoffee4035]

Me too. when I see a duskwright, I /hug everrytime

[@willowbreeze]

I went from Miqo'te to Elezen about two years ago and I will never go back My Fem Elezen is so attractive, so unique, so perfect, I could never consider changing her... Fem Elezen and Fem Viera are tall, graceful, and by far the most attractive races ;P ((I am also a heal main, so well done there!))

[@DICEBOY22]

I chose Elezen day 1 and I was able to look past the neck rather quickly and am very understanding with the lore. Every time I warp to Ishgard I get this warm fuzzy feeling of " I'm home! " Which is why I bought my Apartment there to.

[@dannywhittom838]

ive never felt so flustered in my life, from an elezen lover and enjoyer, i thank you for this ♥ Also #9 freaked me out because i started to main healer when i first changed to an elezen and ive been an elezen healer main ever since. The accuracy is almost spooky, but impressive!

[@Howlflame]

I main a Duskwight Elezen, and I would kill for more Duskwight representation in the game itself! I wanna visit the caves they live in!

[@Berguna645]

Sadly the cave implementation only visible at potd

[@hjt091]

Until then there's always the Tam-Tara Deepcroft in Explorer Mode

[@Fluffyfurrets]

FINALLY I FEEL VINDICATED. My Main (and like most of my alts) are Elezen and frankly i work hard to make them look stunning!

[@powerofk]

I've played a Femelezen ever since I started. Never have noticed the neck thing. Part of the reason was that when I started on the trial back in 2019, the only races trial players could pick from were Hyur, Elezen, and Lalafell. But now, I'm so attached to her as my WoL... Best choice ever! Plus, after meeting a certain mother of certain twins, I immediately decided that my WoL was her long lost twin sister (and therefore the twins' long lost aunt - which is why the girl twin looks up to her so much... And yes, I know their names, just avoiding them for ppl who haven't played the game yet).

[@DoktorWieg]

My main character is a male Elezen for two reasons, one of which is the obvious "it's the least played race (and gender in this case too)". The other is that the original version of that character goes back to the days I was playing Neverwinter Nights in multiplayer servers. NWN is a D&D ruleset game but the multiplayer was unique in that players could create their own worlds and settings with the editor and then host them on a server for others to play and one type of popular server was "PW Story" or "Persistent World Story". Those were worlds where you played in-character as if it was an ongoing, living D&D campaign. My character started in one of those along with some friends, we had the chance to play through several storylines that were Dungeon Master hosted and have our characters grow and evolve through the events. And since other players weren't tethered to your session, that means you'd often come across unexpected encounters and the likes. Nevertheless, my originally elf character went through a tremenduous number of changes, both physical and psychological, one of which granted him a spell (though a taxing one to cast) that allow him to plane walk and visit other worlds. That gave my character the in-character ability to have a persistent story even when I moved from one server to another later on and reused him. I had to level him all over again when I did but that was explained as the price for casting the spell. Eventually though, the character would end up dying but instead of having a new life in a D&D world, I simply had him pop in FFXIV but this time as a blank slate. And so, it is why my main character in FFXIV is a male Elezen... because in his finale state before he died, he was a very tall, elf-like being. And since Elezens are naturally tall? Well that's a natural fit for the character.

[@vincentbeton]

"I never met a bad Elezen Healer" *Looks at Alphinaud in Trust I guess....somewhat

[@avycatte]

Alphinaud is special.

[@lindthechaoticheretic8708]

I play Fem Elezen. Didn't know it was so rare. Neat. You're definitly spot on with their animations being a perfect fusion of elegence and sass.

[@MetanteiTriforce]

Addition to point 10--some people might feel like with all the Elezen NPC's that there's an over saturation in Elezen rep, but Elezen are the native race to Eorzea--everyone else came by later! It makes sense that there'd be more Elezen than any other race, and that ties people who play Elezen to better try and rep the truth of the in-world gamestate to another stereotype about Elezen players. Specifically, where they say Elezen players love the lore more than the average player! As a Duskwight Elezen player, I also get to make my dark blue hued boy have white glowing freckles and have it _work._ Do I gotta say any more? Just....make sure to use emotes other than /clap and /dance to express your enthusiasm. Both of those emotes are some of the funniest, most half-assed animatons I've ever seen. Great for sarcastic assholes. (DOUBLY great if you want to make Garleans. Emet Selch himself uses an Elezen body base, as can be seen with his animations. You'll get the height and the stature of a Garlean with an Elezen and the Star of Nezha.)

[@St0rmk4t]

I started playing FFXIV around 2 months ago as Miqo'Te (of course I chose catgirl!) and since when I received phial of fantasia from MSQ, I've been thinking about changing race to Elezen... Well, long story short - I watched the video and now - finally - I'm running around as Elezen!

[@frostwolf8994]

Everybody gangsta till the Elezen show up in the Loyal Butler’s uniform.

[@TheMajesticKnight]

Hahaha

[@TOEC]

The neck doesn't bother me as much as the run animation (at least on the female Elezen). It feels like the animation was done by hand/manually, vs. the run animation on other races such as the Miqo'te, which has a more fluid "motion captured" look.

[@zombieluka]

Agreed. I can handle the long neck look but the running animation turns me off so hard that when I fanta'd to an elezen, I changed back within the hour. They needed to have fixed the animation and not just a little graphics update. ;_;

[@LinaPoe]

Wahh one of my elezen friend was obsessed with Ishgard^^(still is:) When we didnt have Ishgard Houses area yet,she dreamed about it so much^^she created her own little Ishgard in her Mansion^^

[@cherryflutterr]

aww! 💕

[@Klaudiuszeg]

You missed 2 most important reason people play elezen. :P 1. Their smooth long legs 2. Their poses I play femzen for the above lol

[@koatam]

11. We are all in a secret club where we all talk about how we are better than everyone else.

[@eshbena]

Shh! Don't tell the short bois that, they'll feel all insecure. I mean, it's obvious we're better, but let them keep their illusions. XD

[@koatam]

@@eshbena It's okay. They need to know their place.

[@Trent957]

7:46 Ha jokes on you, I'm an Elezen and I have found out that it does not make you a better healer. Even if its supposed to make you 1000x better, 1000 x 0 is still 0

[@ronnietaylor3548]

i picked a duskwight m!elezen on day one of downloading ffxiv and i haven't changed him since

[@august_silverblessing]

I've been playing Elezen since the beginning and I don't intend to change that...☺❤👌

[@MissVaruna]

"I have never met a bad Elezen Healer." Me:

[@constellationcorvid]

playing Elezen makes the long, flowy robes and coats look great, but going for an armored look is definitely difficult. helmets will always have those big goofy ears on them, so I go for gunbreaker, whose signature look is actually quite fitting.

[@TDOTCRFH4]

reason 11: youtube auto-generated subtitles keep calling them elephant

[@dswngz]

Male Elezen recently turned Hroth (but really considering going back). Yes, I really like the fact that it takes time and effort to create a good looking Elezen. Yes, Heavensward is my favourite expansion, I if I roleplay, I'm a stubborn Ishgardian (and I have a house there). I like the more serious, elegant and kinda restrained emotes.

[@TheValiantBob]

I made my WoL a duskwight elezen because I really like dark elves and the drow aesthetic. And coming from D&D, I was kinda worried that she'd be super basic and common. Instead I found myself getting tons of compliments from other players in roulettes or the major cities telling me how cute she was and how rarely they see elezen, let alone duskwights. Feels really nice.

[@egeo.9645]

We need more Elezens, I feel so lonely sometimes

[@Emarella]

[happy giraffe noises] I am an Elezen main whose favorite expansion remains Heavensward, but it'd be my favorite even if I played a different race. So much to love

[@NagaTales]

Yep, one of the things I quickly discovered with my Elezen is that high collars, raised pauldrons, ruffles, neck guards, or other glamors that add a lot to the neck and shoulders work wonders for mitigating the 'giraffe' meme, as it minimizes the effect rather significantly. So of course that means my Elezen is usually in FULL PLATE ARMOR! THE FURY GUIDES! ISHGARD! ISHGARD! [PALADIN NOISES]

[@Kandraith]

I made a Duskwight to look much like my original Night Elf from WoW, if Elezen had a better run animation, they'd be more played.

[@sybald4592]

i agree. biggest reason i wont try a fem elezen is their terrible run animation.

[@CHARGEMEDOKTOR]

​@@sybald4592 running while having ur weapon in hand helps depending on what job u play

[@moragris]

Thank youuu, I'm Wildwood Elezen :D once i turned to Highlander, but few days after that I missed my long ears and looong noble neck, so I'm an Elezenish woman again. My FFXIV favourite expansions are Heavensward (obviously), and Shadowbringers. I 'd like to see a video about Roe enthusiasts :)

[@timlamb6073]

I’m new to Final Fantasy XIV. (So far I love the game!) I just got the game in February, and I’ll be honest, the first thing I chose was Elezen, a Duskwight Elezen to be exact! I didn’t have any reason, I just thought it looked better for my character. Plus I wanted to try Black Mage and thought a Duskwight Elezen would fit the part. Little did I know that I chose one of the rarest kinds in the game. I still to this day have not seen another Duskwight. And I’m also the only Elezen in my entire Free Company. So yeah, you start to feel how unique you are when you are an Elezen. Especially a Duskwight one like me! I love this video! I think it’s perfect to show people that Elezen’s shouldn’t be given such a bad rap! They are very cool looking and in my (biased) opinion, they are one of the most unique looking races in FFXIV. (First goes to Lalafell obviously!)

[@AstralNana]

It's always funny to see you running around in the game, I'm always like "oh there goes Avy, i wonder if i'll see myself in the background of a video again."

[@Garyof11]

One of the very few elezen duskwight here. I started as a miqote, but switched during stormblood and never looked back. I wanted something more unique and I definitely got it. The neck also forced me to be more thoughtful about my glams and the choker options that typically get ignored.

[@adancingpotato4327]

Love these videos! Thank you for working on them for the communities enjoyment 🎉 ele need all the love

[@baalmolech]

Your glamour is amazing!! I’ve been an Elezen male since day one, even my alt is an Elezen (female). They are the runway models of Eorzea. Everything looks stunning on them. And it’s true, you can tell if players have good taste based on their character. ✨

[@ahrims7]

this elezen main enjoys this video ❤ I wanted to add to the glamour portion. Elezen have one of the more unique body shapes, so you reallyy have to tailor glams to them. It forces you to understand shape dynamic at the very least. You’re right, so many endwalker glams have been blessing us. Ultimately, you want something that accentuates your neck and shoulders. Doesn’t necessarily pad onto them, or bulks them. You want that slim tapered look, it makes the elezen shape pop superr well.

[@voidbot3195]

Male duskwight elezen dragoon/dark knight player here! My favorite expansions are shadowbringers and endwalker but... Ishgard is special to me, I will admit

[@runedragon1985]

As 2 out of my 3 characters are Elezen, I can vouch for how fun Elezen can be.

[@Nadidah23]

Aymeric was and still is my first Elezen crush! Still waiting on that second date. Lol 🌹🍷🧝‍♀️

[@avycatte]

Same here! 😭😭

[@NaitomeIya]

My friend has a male Elezen alt. That guy is too godsdam handsome. A low key role play chatacter, his lore is that he's an Ishgardian from the Brume who left the city for want of a better life, even if it means his brume friends will ostracize him, and learning arcinima will not win the high houses' favor. Whenever I see his gorgeous face and awesome clothing, all I could think is "Sasu ga Ishgardian." This person recently fanta'd their main to fem Elezen and their love for the succubus look, combined with the Elezen's elegance, adds a new layer of kink to her succubus glam...

[@VeshSneaks]

I can't imagine my character as anything but the Mi'qote tomboy she's always glammed up as, but Elezen do look great.

[@LinaPoe]

Oh and also, Elezen are absolutely magnificent, males are typical main characters from Interview with the Vampire, including Armand^^

[@alchemi8085]

My wife and I play an Elezen couple making our home in Ishgard, and you're right - we get compliments all the time. As far as favorite expansion, Heavensward, but that might be because that's when we started playing XIV.

[@esten_varlineau_cobain]

I've been playing my Elezen guy for awhile (and plan on it till Dawntrail, then changing back to my Miqo'te). This video speaks absolute truth, especially the Elezen NPC's part. They're a gorgeous race if done right and I especially geek whenever I see a Dusk (💙) in Limsa! I would 100% never go back to Miqo'te if we had a shorter version of them though, like the twins height! I like self-inserting myself into the characters I create/play and playing as a tall girl just doesn't feel right.

[@TDBTylerable]

I feel called out here: 7:13 < that is exactly why I made an Elezen, it was to make a character that also matched my Blood Elf in WoW... as if they walked through some mysterious rift and ended up in Eorzea. And your next point scares me because I also only really play healer jobs.

[@avycatte]

I'm watching you. 👀

[@Soridan]

The neck isn't even the "problem", it's the tiny heads that make them look weird. Playing a femezen vastly improved my glam game though, and it's always rewarding when people take notice of it. And yes, HW is my favourite expansion alongside ShB (though I played through it as a viera)... And I main healers. I'm told I'm not horrible. :D

[@Valvadrix]

I'm glad someone finally noticed the neck problem isn't exclusive to us. Also true about the compliments, I'll usually get at least one tell each time I AFK in Limsa. Regarding my favorite expansion, it's Shadowbringers, but Heavensward is a very close second.

[@RaysofLight98]

I’ve played Elezen, Bnuy, Miqo… and the Elf neck is normal compared to other races. Her shoulders just dip a lot. *the hairstyles fit differently on Bunnies, meaning they can wear hairstyles with bangs that don’t clip through most headbands. *But of course bunnies can’t wear most hats… even flat ones…

[@Khalith]

As the self-proclaimed King of all Elezen I approve this message. I played an Elvaan in ffxi (my first mmo) so when I went to xiv it was a no brainer I’d play an Elezen. Heavensward was my favorite expansion indeed because I got to hang out with all my Elezen-kin. It feels good knowing I won at the character creation screen.

[@ladyamaranth]

Started as a dusky elezen, played hyur for a bit, but i missed how elegant elezen look in everything. I adore my fem dusk elezen. No one looks better in eden gear than us!

[@pjw1993]

My main started as a Miqo’te and since Stormblood has been an Au Ra, and I’d say Shadowbringers is still my favourite expansion overall, but Heavensward really left a lasting impression. I have several Ishgardian Elezen alts, but they’re pretty much co-mains at this point. Playing through HW as an Elezen Dragoon was an unforgettable experience, would recommend SO MUCH to anyone that loves Ishgard and its lore.

[@AmunRa1]

I love playing Elezen, but it makes me wish we had more neck glam options. With certain tops the neck just looks too... naked. Needs a choker or a scarf or even a necklace.

[@CinnaToastGhost]

I just switched to Elezen yesterday and I love it lol.

[@iljun3089]

I just started playing a few days ago and i selected elezen since i like elves in fantasy settings. I had no idea elezens have such low population. I’m an ESO main player and i play bosmer which is the smallest race there. Quite opposite since elezens are so tall. No matter, it’s the closest race to elves in ffxiv like you said. I’m loving your channel btw. Great one for someone like me who’s just starting in the game.

[@saqwana25]

Personally i as a roegadyn main would like to see roegadyn next.

[@vykyr]

My first character was an Elezen. I eventually fantasia'd a few times and ended up with Au Ra, who I adore, but sometimes I really think about going back to Elezen or making another character an Elezen. I kinda have a thing for the elf race in games... >.> Also would like to see one on Au Ra next :)

[@cparle87]

Like many things in life I never noticed the long necks on elezen, and now I can't unsee it.

[@luludrinkerofcoffee4035]

Part of the allure of Duskwright IS the rarity... but I just love the cave elf aesthetic. I tend to do them in most games

[@ikmkr]

oh, the endwalker glams are so good on elezen. my go-to on mine is the radiant mail of casting; it covers the neck and is super ornate

[@smendrecthe_magician6171]

As a shiny duskwright Elezen lady my favorite was shadowbringers!! Also this comment section makes me happy seeing more elezen players!

[@Furlockthe666th]

Extremely looking forward to the "10 Reasons to Play a Hrothgar" video whenever it comes out! Your content is always enjoyable to watch!

[@u155247]

3:06 "You have a long neck? then decorate it" Very useful suggestion, thanks

[@azraelfaye]

"Mummy, How dare you, and this one." I love your comments XD

[@rivenoak]

my elezen is tank, so most other races can easily spot the important one. always follow your tank ! he/she takes the beatings of enemies so you stay alive :p

[@eshbena]

As a heals main, my motto is, 'you pull it, you tank it'. I heal tank first and DPS can expect a heal tossed off sometimes, but not unless the tank is healed up. Stay behind your tank and don't pull unless you're prepared to die. XD

[@redgeoblaze3752]

Elezen player weighing in. My favorite Expac is Shadowbringers. Though my time playing late ARR and early Heavensward was some of my favorite time in this game. Mostly because of the community I found to do synced content with, and just generally getting into the thick of the game. I almost made a lalafel as my main. But the look of that bunny girl in Limsa advertising her "Services" just made me reconsider. I'm very much enjoying being able to take my character seriously in cutscenes. I'm a Duskwight because Dunmer are the master race in Elder Scrolls. I'm sure this is just normal, but I really feel like my character fits in well with the other scions. It doesn't feel like just a bunch of actual story characters and then the custom one. Even more impressive considering I play a healer, and start breaking out in hives if I don't have a large brimmed Wizard hat on at all times. (Including non-caster classes)

[@GengarCollects]

Absolutely enjoyed this video! I’m new to FFXIV (Xbox) and I mained the Elvaan class in FFXI so wanted to go with Elezen. Definitely happy with my pick. 😁

[@callisto769]

I love the small part where you create yourself in CK3, a nice little easter egg ^^ And I wanted to play Elezen at first, but then I saw Au'ra and was instantly in love. But I still love Heavensward

[@defaultthedude]

Elezen player here, So I haven’t gotten past Heavensward but I’d say it’s a really good experience so far. Also, yeah the Elezen are like fantasy elves. I made my Duskwright Elezen look like a DnD drow.

[@ThorfinnGrimhowl]

I have 2 Elezen characters and yes Heavensward is my favorite expansion.

[@endergeek236]

I actually just started playing about a week ago, and i had absolutely no idea that Elezen were so rare. I just played as a Duskwight character because she ended up looking really cool when I was playing with the options. Named her Ninne Cuilfane (I looked up Elezen names on Google, and picked out a first and last name I liked). But knowing that I'm a rarity among players honestly feels kinda cool.

[@DuskEalain]

Funny story: I play a Roegadyn, and my friend who just got into the game _immediately_ made a Duskwright Elezen. So now there's two rare grey lads running around the Primal DC getting into random shenanigans together. Also THANK YOU for Reason 2, I see so many people give pretty much any race that isn't Miqo'te, Viera, or Au'ra crap for being "hard to glamour". To those who genuinely think that - They aren't hard to glamour, _you just suck at character design._

[@keelhaulsthingsthatdontmatter]

Tell Square Enix to make Duskwight characters that aren’t villains.

[@feyefall4855]

Though I was once a little catgirl, too, I switched to masc Elezen some time ago and am never going back. In transitioning it helped that I kept certain traits the same, colors and hairstyle and such, until I got used to it. It's rare to see an Elezen without some sense of style, and I wonder if that's because such a sense is necessary to make an aesthetically pleasing Elezen. I also think Elezen go unseen merely because they are not populous. If any are like me, they may be quiet and reclusive: avoid hanging out in the Plazas and only rarely actively engage in the chat.

[@Poodeesha]

How fitting this video came up on my recommended after switching from Viera to Elezen. Elezen (male) are so majestic and beautiful 😍

[@chocolatefury25]

The Elezen master race will rise again.

[@Saieden]

2:00 I started a female Duskwight alt this year (catboy main), and I can confirm they stands out, she gets WAY more comms averaging more than 1 per clear.

[@Ravenaut]

As Elezen Chad I can confirm that Heavensward is the best DLC!

[@Gamemaster-64]

Was Elezen but been happy with how my Viera looks now that I have trouble deciding to change either back or to a different race(au ra maybe) for hats(whenever they give us Zero's and the last dungeon maiming head gear)

[@bellamango6708]

"cover them up shameless boy you're distracting the healer" the healer is me

[@davidpletcher4325]

As a elezen player thank you elezen are so rare on jenova that I get super excited when I see fellow elezen player and I wish I could post a pic of her on here lol she's also a bard main but I'm a scholar healer so thank you avy catte

[@Brainfly-]

Thank you for calling out the neck thing. It is an issue on ALL races, not just Elezen. (It's because they put the bone to move the neck smack dab in the middle.)

[@AzureRoxe]

Heavensward as an Elezen Dragoon, truly feels like this expansion was specifically for you.

[@misswaffies2719]

I once spoke about why FFXIV doesn't have an elf like race..I'd completely forgotten elezen existed 😅😅

[@masterplusmargarita]

One of my favourite things about my Duskwight is that the MSQ feels like it's crafted for you. The memes about the WoL just smiling and nodding are true, but when your character is a slightly gothy big lady it makes it feel like she's just a gentle giant - a little spooky on the outside because of how big she is, but a big ol' marshmallow on the inside. Plus I play Dragoon, so I'm covered in spikes. And yes, my favourite expansion IS Heavensward, but I'm still not done with Shadowbringers, so that may change quite soon. I also find it really funny that Elezen are among the least common PC races, because lorewise I believe they're meant to be the most common race in Eorzea (that or Hyur, anyway).

[@williampearce5757]

As an Elezen player, feels good to be recognized. One of my characters is literally just a NIN/MNK named "John Cena" because "nobody can see me." Guarantee nobody's ever seen him, even in duties, lol.

[@voidraven6693]

My first character was a Male Miqo, but it didn’t take much time for me to switch a Male Duskwight and I’ve never looked back. Playing a Duskwight in Gridania just makes things more immersive, especially once you learn the lore, even more in the lancer quests. And yes, as an Elezen and a Dragoon main, Heavensward is my favorite expansion, although Shadowbringers and Endwalker are tied for second. I’m definitely biased since Ishgard and Dravania play a huuuge part in my boy’s story, but there’s something to be said about teleporting back to a city-state and getting the “I’m home,” feeling.

[@AfroBlackSiren]

Male Elezen are so great, they are the gay Bond Villain that will explain the whole plot while drinking tea. Femezen are just the hugest nerds you'll ever see. Not the geek type, more of the "stays the whole day on their research field and only leaves to eat"

[@martis97]

My main is an Elezen and I love her to bits. Even though I am a fantasia addict I don't feel like changing her anytime soon (mainly because I'm pretty broke at the moment lmao) I really want to make a male Elezen too as an alt. I might be in love with the race… ^^" My favorite expansion is Shadowbringers, but Heavensward has a special place in my heart and I always feel at home in Ishgard!

[@ExileTwilight]

I kinda wish I had rolled an Elezen myself, but at the same time I'm not a huge fan of super tall characters.. If I could play a half-elezen like Hilda I'd be set xD

[@dalgona4819]

My first Elezen character was based on my D&D elf wizard. ❤

Elezen here too. Love this haha. I do see more and more of our kind every day though.

The best thing about male elezens is the /clap emote. It's a slow slap. Very passive aggressive and sarcastic. Very lore accurate as Ishgardians come off as elitist.
