Lalafell as a percentage of NA population

Will do :)

Yeah, when there's a Viera around, they do stick out in the sea of shorties :D
There are even more lalas on Mana and Gaia DCs, where the percentage of JP people is higher. Elemental is where most English speaking people congregate.

That's so they don't fly off the road when taking a sharp turn.

Many of the JPN servers have a much larger representation of Lalafell, and though I usually don't notice it, my friend (who recently made an alt on Aether) asked me about it right away.

Does anyone have an idea, from an NA viewpoint, why there are so many of other races (esp. cats and lizzies) and so few Lalafell usually? I, myself, find them to be really cute and their chibi nature is great for many glams - but I suppose some have a negative view of them in the non-JPN datacenters? Just wondering if anyone had noticed this, or if maybe myself and my friends are just wrong or mistaken?

I can only tell you why my NA Lala is no longer a Lala. The very vile and pornographic tells she was getting. Yeah I am not subjecting myself to that no matter how cute the character was.

there are people in EU who dont play lala anymore because of the MASSIVE amount on jokes they get to hear ebery single day. most arent meant in a bad way. but the oeople dont get the psychological issue it can provoke wenn people are drowned in memes, jokes, being called potato all the time. and then sometimes even a simple question why you play lala is enough to be annoying

People always seem to mention that they look like children so they are seen as kind of a childish race by many.. also small auto = puntable..
I don’t know why people find cute things cringe or lame and annoying.. maybe it is the way most people in this region are raised.

I like lalafell because they are small, cute yes like chibi characters from manga, and kind of look like dolls. I think se could put some cute sweet candy lolita style outfits with lalas in mind to enhance ultimate dolly mode.. :).

I often don’t much fit in mindset wise though.. so I don’t actually understand the problem I simply can only observe and interpret.

Off topic a bit but do we ever see a Lalafel kid in game?

We see other races' kids but I've never seen a Lalafel child.

I have a hard time seeing Lalafell as chibi or a loli for that matter. I see them as little kids, the weird potato kind not the adorable kind.

And concidering I like to wear sexy glamours the only viable options are Miqote and Au'ra. Both are way more associated with Japanese culture then Lalafell. Catgirls cause obviously catgirls and Au'ra for their elegant and delicate nature.

1. I get that, being a 182 cm tall white guy it was the same for me when I lived in Japan. Is that you Stick Out? I'm Sore Thumb, pleased to meet you.

2. I really should make a character on those just to see. It would be interesting.


If you do find me, please make sure to end all your sentences in ~nyan. ;)

I remember getting a few creepy tells when I came back from deployment overseas and found out Mateus got shuffled from Aether to Crystal along with several other servers. I just figured they must of meant to send that nonsense to someone else and promptly blacklisted them. The way I see it, changing races won't necessarily stop actual weirdos from sending some downright degenerate tells to people. Anyone with even a hint of social awareness would be able to tell you that you don't just walk up to someone you've never even interacted with and start spouting some depraved bs like that.

and i thought wow gnomes were bad
