Elin are a race in TERA, and you are the one that is looking at them as little girls, because they simply are not...
Tue Feb 12 2013 3:24PM Report" Elin are a race in TERA ". Yea I can draw creepy pictures of little girls wearing skimpy cloths with rabbit ears (or whatever they are on their heads) and claim that's a "race" too.
But that doesn't change the fact I would still be drawing creepy pictures of little girls wearing skimpy clothing with rabbit ears on their heads.
People who defend this game by saying, " Elin are a race! They're not little girls! ". Yea....okay. Right. Riiiiiigght.

The Blade & Soul race (Lyn) aren't nearly as exposed when it comes to clothing as the Elins are, but you are right about it not being unusual for Asian games to have little girl races. Though Bluehole Studio did take it kind of far with the "sexy" dresses and pantyshots when it comes to a race that looks like a little girl, that's just my opinion. While I don't agree with all this "ZOMG people who playes as Elins should get arrested" crap, I do see why some people might think like that.
Wed Feb 13 2013 11:21AM ReportThe Elin are super cute, and that's the primary draw IMO. They also have a lot of sass. Their /taunt and /angry emotes are particularly enjoyable. In fact, a YouTube video of an Elin mystic taunting someone in a duel is what originally sealed the race for me.
I don't think that there's anything wrong with the race. Their appearance doesn't bother me, and they're a ton of fun to play. There certainly are some things that are over sexualized, but that's Tera in a nut shell. It's not limited to Elins in the slightest.
The biggest problem with playing an Elin is dealing with people's reaction to the character. Not so much the trolls, since that is expected. Thankfully I never had cyber requests, but you do rarely get a genuine creeper.
Far more often than not, Elin players kind of "click" when in the same place. You jump, dance, and just act silly. It's a lot of fun. I'll miss playing an Elin on my sorc, but designing my character after an anime (even a very, very good one) got very old and I needed a real change.
Note that the Elin in this screen shot is NOT my character.
