The Roegadyn have some of the most interesting lore when it comes to player races within FFXIV. So why don’t we cover that today as well as the differences between many of their tribes and cultures around the world of Hydaelyn? Today’s video will mark the slow march to the completion of my series on the playable races in FFXIV, and I look forward to seeing people’s thoughts!

Yes more lore study for the eventual FF14 TTRPG game I'm going to run.
Ah yes. More to add to the lore repertoire. Happy New year Scribe!
Roe Roe, fight the power.
Heck yes I love these lore videos!
Another video, hell yeah. Time to learn the loooooooooore
As a seawolf this video pleases me greatly.
Funny to imagine that on average, a Garlean would be stronger than a Roegadyn and that only the latter could be mages. Funnier than a lala tank and a roe healer, because those would results training, not innate state.
Roegadyn Lore, the world is at peace
I love Roegadyn lore. I have 2 Roe characters and 1 Lalafell raised by Sea Wolves with a name that fits both racial naming conventions; Bhaldsyn Twyrsyn, translating to Brave Son Dwarf Son.
I took some liberty with the lore for my Hellsguard Warrior. In my headcanon, the Inner Beast of the Warrior is embodied in a massive red bear Auspice. Its aramitama is unending, and every decade a great Warrior must face it and quell the raging bear.
One of my OCs, Zen Bear, had been carrying out that duty for his entire adult life. His son tried to take up the mantle, but failed and so Zen continued to bear it into his old age. Eventually, the strain of exposure to such intense mystical fury seeped into him, strengthening his own Inner Beast beyond his control. For the good of his family and village, he left to find a death in battle his Beast could accept. Instead, he found a Monk who trained him to find control again. It is a temporary solution, but he has found a brief period of relative peace once more.
I really hope we get to see Aerslaent one day.
Yeah, rhoe baby let's go!
Didn’t say Roogahden sad
She is a bene gesseret! Roes must eat loads of popotoes to be so large.
Great lore video, it's quite interesting with the lore with the Roes especially when it comes to the their naming convention. Now the last one should be the Hyurs?
This is great! The first ever video I watched from you was on the roegadyn and seeing the lore in more detail is honestly all I could ask for.
Yessss I love Roegadyn love! My character is a Sea Wolf and she is indeed very protective of all her smaller friends. Gonna share this video with my fellow Roe players.
With how I’ve built out my Roe’s lore, it’s kind of ensuring that I’ve been passively adhering to the original lore of all Roegadyn.
My Hellsguard brothers and sisters are here in joy
I do hope they get better faces in FF14, I highly doubt it, but one can hope, along with toggling that weird black mark on their nose when choosing the more tanned version.
Same with the tall humans finally getting eyebrows
Its so fun when I find out something I wrote into my character’s lore has Actual Basis in the game’s writing.
My WoL has been a hellsguard knight who studies healing magic for years and I’m just now finding out that’s not uncommon.
I want an expansion where we go to the roegadyn homelands and I want them to add an arcane knight tank pls thx
Might Fantasia as a Sea Wolf tonight.
I love how the races of this game have such deep lore, but it is still so flexible to the point where you can create any character you want and there's still room for you in the lore!
While I'm here: shout out to my fellow Hellsguard!
Been playing this game for 4 years and this video proves that I STILL have a lot to learn about Eorzea's history and her people.
Love being Roegadyn!
i like how the roe tyrant is basically Ganondorf
Ah id love some more Roegadyn content
T-T another reminder we don't have mystic/arcane knights as a job ….
