  1. About hrothgars most of them are very cliquey and usually stick to other hrothgars. I feel like roe males are like this too but as a roe myself I don't see them at all defo more rare than hrothgars. If I ever see them they usually meme and dance with costumes in limsa other than that they stay private with their groups etc. Another thing is aura males are popular boyfriends I pretty much always see them with someone else.

  2. Come to Crystal DC my guy, the Elezen all migrate there and live our lives in safe herds. Also you haven't seen Elezen in armor, that will absolutely change your mind

    Also there are multiple terms we have for fem ra. Multiple that usually fall under the list of "gecko, lizzard, dragon, fish" 😂😂

  3. I am the founder of lala cult and lala mafia on the server I play XD even made a theme house for lala cult silliness XD 😂 many fun good times !

    We cook bullies and demand people to pay their cookie rent or we cook em 😂

    Also I can’t count the many times I was on my emote hot bar using my micro emote accidentally throwing a bar of soap at a boss and wondering why I am not doing any damage 💀😂 lmao

  4. I feel like a lot of the male elezen switched to au ra when they came out, and a lot of the female elezen switched to viera when they came out. I play female elezen still and occasionally come across other elezen but I used to see a ton of us running around in ARR and HW days.

  5. Its weird, my Hyur was originally a self-insert but at some point in the MSQ he kind of became his own character in my head canon. I don't know exactly when it happened but now he's canon in my head so i could never change rage and he's separate to me. I love the Hrothgar though XD – they have the best glam game

  6. I play male miqo for the same reason a lot of people hyur: mine is a self insert. I also do as much poggers dps in dungeons as I possibly can, attempting to restore dignity to the Burger King crown more so than attempting to make miqos seem more competent. In my experience, male miqos are pretty damn good :3

    Speedrunning expert roulette with randoms in duty finder is 10/10.

  7. As a Male Cat Boy, i actually am 1 of the very few that actually DONT ERP, (too busy grinding class levels) and im a Tank Main, i do my job and i get tons of play commendations, i know what im doing also my hair is black and BLUE NOT RED, and my outfits are mostly Black & Pink, except for Red mage (Red with some blues), & Scholar (Green with some browns & golds) hell i was 1 of the only male cat boys who didnt turn into a Bunny Boy when the bunnies came out, so i got to be an Endangered species for a while xD

  8. As a femroe I do honestly feel like people treat me like spotting a unicorn. It's both funny, and kinda.. creepy sometimes? Especially the ones that seem to be okay with calling us 'Mommy'.. outta no where. Just. Why. I'm just running roulettes my dude!

    Personally I chose Femroe cause I loved the design. Just, solid looks and amazing hairs.

  9. I dare say that male Au Ra has two different type of player:
    The one that wants Au Ras to look at edgy as possible
    And the one that wants to pul male Au Ras in a dress

    Also please Raen face 3s… Where are you guys I’m freezing here alone😭

  10. shame he didnt at least show highlanders, among all the sub-race options they are the most physically distinct from the other.

    also a lot of people that play less popular races will generally compliment others of the same race.

  11. I play a female cat girl in ffxiv. One of my only interactions in a town where I received a dm was a dude asking if he could cheat on his girl friend and nut on my big ass forehead… I have not went to limsa since.

  12. Nothing makes me more happy than being in a party with +2 other lalas and its just all of us jumping around and making noises like crazy. We all sharing the same braincell at that moment.

  13. People really need to stop looking for themselves in games where purple skinned girls get clobbered by green skinned hulks. That is the reason for fantasy, to have an "escape" from reality. An alternative to the scuffed world we're suffering in already.

  14. I've noticed that the people who play male Roegadyn in FF14 are the exact same kinds of people that play male Norn in GW2. There are two types of players for these races. The first are the players that want to make a big hulking badass which will almost always be played exclusively as a heavy armor class. The second are the memelords that will use the most eye-searing combination of skin tone and hair color with an afro, silly mustache, and wearing a speedo. There is no middle ground.

  15. Evil Lalafell here; Can confirm everything about both Lalafell and Hrothgar is 100% accurate. You *WILL* pet every player of both races for wholly different reasons. Lalas as a sign of submission, and Hrothgar because they are too wholesome.
