They don’t come with the trial and I won’t pay for a game im not even sure I’ll enjoy.
Charr are based and cool as all heck
their pretty much horned furred orcs without needing to outsource to goblins for their technology

That’s fair - most of my appreciation comes in the items. Even low level chaff looks great because the engine can support it, whereas a disappointing number of WoW items were made in like 1965 computers and it shows.
Having most species use a similar rig does also mean there’s a lot of character that can be put on job animations, new emotes and cutscenes

they do at least put in consideration for the diffrent races. such as, im told, in a cutscene in shadowbringers a lalafell PC will drag a chair to reach a table. another one in stormblood where a certain 
head that I think anyone has played it will know will aggressively change posture to get in your face
WoW does do things like that - the cutscenes in Shadowlands are genuinely pretty good - but it’s a few years behind.
Slight peeve that the Warrior of Light just wanders about nodding at things but

Just as bad as catboys tbh
God the vanilla textures just… they started showing their age when they upgraded the engine and polygon count back in WoD.
I mean I don’t know the size of the FF team but I do agree that is streamlines animations.
Blizzard had no excuse to not do it with their team size for most of the games lifespan.

agreed but were never gonna get much else. Yoshi P. explicitly stated he never wanted to give the WoL a voice of their own and instead leave it to the players imagination.

Yeah boy, just TRY to get in my viera’s face.

It’s not the lack of speaking that’s the trouble - it’s just the meme of ‘you’re going to help us with this, right’ [nod] in many quests.
And also a little bit the WoL not being voiced because at least in my experience a lot of character is expressed even in the ‘error message’ lines (too far away, not ready yet etc). Void elves speaking in Received Pronunciation voices and Dark Irons being angry literally all the time are important pieces of lore that are neatly expressed in a subtle way

My gf drew me a nice picture that I wanted to put (with credit) in the bio of something on the only petsite I play but because twitter I can’t get the bbcode to work at all and I suffer.

yeah im not fond of the meme least of all when it gets called out by other characters lol.
“Oh just give them another of your stoic nods.”
“Anything I say right now wont matter and ill still have to just nod and do this demeaning task right?”

If there’s one trope I would kill it is the ‘lampshading the thing that we continue doing’ trope. Either don’t mention the thing if it’s necessary for game design (easy example, ‘ENOUGH’ [goes invincible and teleports away]) or stop doing it, you don’t get to do both

I don’t mind the lampshading if it’s done sparingly honestly. A comment about overdeveloped neck muscles makes me smile. It risks oversaturation for sure but here and there it’ll get a good chuckle. Alphinaud is right, I really do be nodding a lot.
