10 Reasons to Play an Elezen in FFXIV

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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 ;;__;;

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.

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!))

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!

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

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!

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).

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.

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

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

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.)

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

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^^

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.
