technically the popori and the elin are one "race" atleast from a file standpoint the elin file is "Popori-F"

Elins came first in the visage of the Goddess Elinu, Popori were then brought into "sentience" later on, as they use to be just regular animals to assist Elins in the fight for nature. Elins life span is 70-80 years, they are an "amazonian" race where they only reproduce as female of their own kind therefore they kidnap men from other races to reproduce with, same as other female races of other lore. Elins and Popori are citizens of the kingdom of Popori, it's why they are also considered Popori. Just as everyone whos a citizen of a country is known by that country and not race (i.e. your race doesn't matter, if you're from America, you'll only be known as American to every other country in the world).

Oooooh there's been some female-only races in video-games.

Viera from Final Fantasy

Gerudo and faries from Legend of Zelda

There's some others but I can't remember off the top of my head :*

Ok so I really like Elin. However, I feel like the creators would benefit more from having a male model as well, not just having female characters. I understand that the background states they represented as "reflect(ing) the youngest daughter of Arun's naïve desire for beauty and peace." but perhaps a male, (maybe with feminine qualities) could be applicable. I know many people who like the idea of Elin but, are put off by the lack of male choice.

To those who are saying that Popori are male "Elins" are wrong. Popori's were created to assist Elins in defending nature, in a sense they're surrogate children to the Elins due to the original process of how Popori's were first created. The Elins and Popori's then went on to find their kingdom which was called Popori... don't really know why its called that, anyway, they're both citizens of the kingdom of Popori thus why in the files the Elins folder is called Popori_F.

As to my opinion on there being a male version of Elins... NOOO, the yaoi fangirls would go even more nuts!

Thats how i would imagine a male elin, only alot smaller, but other than that, not much difference.

No.

Do you actually believe that TERA, will some how magically manage to pull FFXIV graphics out of the back side of their pants? That image is Male Miqo'te. While I fully agree that XIV is in fact 1/2 a game currently being completed, it's graphics are still mile's ahead of anything on the market currently.
