Why Do You Play A Lalafell?

[Kacho_Nacho]

My favorite race is the lalafell. I find them to be a cute race who bring a smile to my face. Their emotes brighten my day.

As a sufferer of chronic major depression, just playing one helps me deal with my feelings. Say what you will but a laughing lalafell is virtual Zoloft.

Being small, I'm non-threatening to players who suffer from social anxiety. Players wish to sit and talk when I'm on. It's a good feeling knowing I'm the person people want to be with when they are lonely or down.

I also like how good many outfits look on us. We may have different proportions than the tall folk but we definitely corner the adorable market.

There's a lot more but I'd like to hear from you! Why do you play a lalafell?

I played Miqote for the longest time and never thought I'd fantasia but I did.
I don't really have a good reason like OP but I just like the idea of a small character being able to do things that are impossible, because realistically a Lallafell would have no chance at blocking a Dreadnoughts swipe but somehow they do! It's just silly stuff like that. Plus yes, they are cute. There's a bit of a stigma towards lalafell players but all races seem to have their stereotypes.

I have a lalafeel-alt, but only to use his inventory... so he got named Dobby and with that lalafell was the obvious choice.
Each time I log on with him I realise I cant play a lalafell though - camera waaaay to close to the ground (specially when you're used to a Roe)

But reading the OP made me remember that - even if I make the usual joke about lalafells biting ones ankle from time to time - each time I do feel sad I find one of my lalafell friends and ask permissing to just hug them or pet one of their mounts (God, this lala-lion is cute! Every lalafell needs to level up paladin and get that lion!). Does make me feel better sometimes - so, stay strong little friends! (And out of my kitchen if you dont want to end up in the frying pan - sorry, bad habits...)

Because I main tanks, obviously.

One day I'm going to change into a lalafell just so I can enjoy the juxtoposition of being an adorable little man who kills mountain bears with a dull, rusty axe. I am going to get in those guts, you just watch.

Cute things are cute.

[Ayasato]

i'd play lalafel but miqo'te exist so...
Cat girl>all

[Sciwolf]

Because Lala are the master race

[SilverObi]

I don't. Oh that's kind of sparse. Well to be honest I made my character back in 1.0 and it was supposed to be an evolution of my FFXI char (a mithra) so lalafell was never a consideration. But if I were to make one nowadays it'd be because they're the usually treated like delicate little cinnamon rolls and the last suspected for wrongdoing lol

[Niraves]

Because cuteness > everything else. And nothing is cuter than a Lala.
