Correction, Thats the male ones, and even those dont deserve that deragatory treatment. I think they can look fairly handsome.

When it comes to the females, Roes and Cattes are the best. No contest sorry.

Poor?! Speak for yourself. I'm rich af.

That's your lore! My Midlander is a Gridanian hippie who holds more personal value in tea leaves than Gil, and frowns upon the corruption money causes.

On a side note, many Midlander NPCs are former adventurers turned into whatever it is they are doing now. Rowena being one of them.

Well that's the great thing, theres all kinds of midlanders. I don't think they're particularly more inclined to farm life, one thing mentioned about Hyur is their diverse culture.

Agreed. Of course, I am comparing their living preferences to other races, not other Midlanders. Hyurs are the race with the highest population, and Midlanders has the higher end of the ratio between them and Highlanders, so it only makes sense that there is a lot of diversity amongst them. However, I was also referring mainly to Midlanders situated in Gridania, and my impression of the city/state that holds the highest number of them.

Another thing known about Gridanian Midlanders that doesn't apply to the race as a whole is we are seen as uppity, and generally closed off to anything that isn't willed by the elementals.

Where is the love for the Legs?

The major lore reason is likely the fact this is a fantasy game with feudal governments and there is no middle class. Hyur are the most common of all the races so they're more likely to be poor as opposed to other races who often have niche jobs they can do well.

From what I can tell Miqo'te almost never really use Gil unless they're either born outside the clans, left to live among the other races or go adventuring. They merely trade for the things they need or make/hunt it themselves.
