So they finally decided to do the right thing and make them look like actual plants and not elves with plant/leaf costumes.

Caithe's new design.

Am I the only one who is getting a "Jolly Green Giant" vibe out of the new Sylvari redesign? (Mascot from Green Giant, the U.S. packaged vegetables brand)






Not necessarily saying that's a bad thing, mind you. Green Giant makes some bitchin' broccoli!

HO HO HO, GREEN GIANT

Great corn, even better green beans, If the Green Giant is the father of all Sylvari, It's perfectly awesome with me. XD

Now that you mention it, how did the emerge? I mean, after all, Ventari spent a long time by himself watching that tree, only God...scratch that...Dwayna, knows what he did with that tree. I like Sylvari a lot, but after watching the Asuran gameplay, they (Asura) take the spot for my second favorite race.

As all four-legged wildlife is known to do, Ventari undoubtedly had to 'mark' his turf from time to time. Even getting up there in age I'm sure it wasn't much trouble for him to lift his hind centaur legs and piss out. (That one dude who was hanging with Ventari on his Arbor Bay island might have helped with that in the later years.)

The Sylvari are a fecal people created from a station of urination. Ventari preached peace in his time on Tyria, but he also preached the virtues of regularity.
