Ohman, it's so true. There just is no middle ground with the way WoW toons look. They're either awesome, or they're the suck. I remember I wanted to play a male toon when I first tried the open beta for the original game, rolled a male night elf, and stopped within a couple levels. God, he was just so fugly. And the humans all looked like He-Man action figures. >_< And I still can't stand how gnomes look. And I found most of the horde races blah or outright ugly (I am really, really not a fan of the Forsaken. >_>; )
I confess, I dig night elf females ^^; But my first nelf toon was one I picked because she resembled a teenage male anime character. XD; I also really dig troll females, because they're so striking without having to be 'pretty' like belf females (bleh, they're so twiggy and bitchy-looking >_< ). And they look fierce without tough=fugly like for orc females. But female draenei, omg FAVORITE ♥ I create so many gal draenei alts because I love their look and love their starting zone so. ♥!
It's funny though--I love everything about dwarves, male and female, and same about tauren--their look, personality, emotes. But I never manage to do alts of them that last. Same with male draenei, male orcs and male trolls. I think they're *cool*, but can't seem to play 'em.
That being said, my absolute favorite is still male blood elf. >_> I was full of MASSIVE GLEE, when they were announced, and was *THRILLED* because they were exactly the sort of male toon I'd wanted to play all along. And even though I was annoyed when they bulked them up (the whole 'zomg they're slender so they must be gay zomg' crap pissed me off, because hello, weight/body shape does not lead to orientation, mmkay? Not to mention all the issues I had with the idea that anything even remotely gay was bad, and only ubertestosteroneheteromale is good, grr argh), I still wanted to play 'em. I find it ironic that though they changed them from being sort of 'bishounen', that their bodybuild right now reminds me of RL gay men I have known.
Okay, so I consider my male belf toon flamingly gay, but that's beside the point. ^^ I swear I have permanent slash goggles, of course I'd be like that. :|
WAY TO RAMBLE ON, SELF. Sorry. Anyway, woooo male worgen! And yeah, FFXI character designs are seriously cool. It's the main reason why I wanted to play it so much--it just would have been such a bad one for me to try, though. >_< But I really want an art style like in that game.
