Blame Squeenix for why we all play as Miqo'te

Will definitely stay a miqo'te unless a more appealing race is introduced one day, the Au Ra are not that race however imo.

I have a feeling it will be a bit different till it levels itself out

it will likely be Hyur and Au Ra or Hyur and Miqo'te fighting for first then either Miqo'te or Au Ra second
then when it levels itself out whichever remains first will have the 2 under it fighting for second.
should be interesting to see. I hope at least

---

I don't expect Au Ra numbers to cut into Hyur ones because Hyur players like being boring. I am sure there will be a few but the majority of race switchers will probably be Miqote. However I don't think the number of Miqote race switchers will bring them down to Lolifell numbers. If half the miqote became Au Ra there would still be more Miqote than Lolifell.



Also I'm going to switch from Miqote to Au ra because cat girls are nice but Dragon Girls beat all.

Who the heck has time to read a pamphlet let alone a novel trying to get all my alexandrite gathered, I'm up to seven, just a few more to go.

Though, we can't pick the character in the novel, unless of course you wrote it, here we can be whomever we want, or atleast within the options given, may as well go fantasy, hmmm seems like I heard that somewhere....

I am pretty sure you could read it WHILE gathering Alexandrite.

I'm miqo'te atm because I can't play without my tail. I love my tail and I am really bored of the female miqo'te emotes, I really can't wait until I can race change to au ra. I do like all the races(for some reason I can't get into lalafell though :/) but I really love my tail!

As for my personal beliefs on the matter:

Hyur is boring because we're already just like them IRL.

Elezen is also boring, because what fantasy game DOESN'T have elves? It's like, "Hey guys, we need races for this new fantasy game." "How about humans?" "Yeah, people are boring like that." "How about elves?" "THAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN BEFORE HUMANS."

Roegadyn...do I even need to say anything? The only good roegadyns are the ones I don't see. Ugh.

Lalafell...I don't need Chris Hansen coming to my door and asking me to take a seat. I need *something* to look at.

Miqo'te are just as bad as lalafells playing one means you dont get to criticize anyone's race choice and from the list of downsides to the other races given(and i cant even say that with a straight face) i see how you have conveniently forgot to mention that playing miqo'te makes every head piece look like batman and tails clip with every single piece of armor, even the ones they added tail holes for. None of the "reasons" you have given affect the game experience nearly as much as those.

That's so sad that you don't own novels...I mean, I can understand not liking reading.
Listen to some novels with audiobooks? Listen to music?

Because for real that grind will test your ability to grind...you say you have seven alexandrite? Good, you need thirty-eight more. Good luck.

I think Miqo'te generally look bad and look terrible wearing everything due to that fluffy tail.

I find Roegadyn to be quite different and very beautiful/handsome if not a bit overwhelming.

People that think Lalafell are pedophilia material would do very well in Australia's finicky censorship bureau(and I'd question their own hidden desires and tendencies making sexual something that is not).

Gone are the days of manly men and dominant, strong women as aspirations for our youth... No, no. It's all about the effeminate young men and grown women pretending way too hard to be school girlish.

Thanks, anime. You've really ruined the Western world's perceptions of idealistic people even worse than Hollywood!

Don't hate the developer, hate the players. It's their own choice. No one is shoving an over-used feline humanoid mutant in your face and forcing you to play it at gunblade point!

You know what's boring? Miqo'te.

Boring emotes, boring dances, boring lore, over-sexualization by both their lore and the player bases. (If I bump into one more gods-forsaken cat person asking me for ERP...)

Why? Too many people play them. It's over-saturated. Cliched. Annoying. Boring.

Honestly, at this point Midlanders themselves are more exciting - and much easier on the eyes.

Your move, Kaiba!

Confused, if you can understand to not like reading, why then would someone who doesn't like to read own a novel? Is there some other use for a novel that I missed?

Darkchild... do you even understand what neutering means? >:( All of that kitty-kitty inbreeding isn't helping the Miqo'te intelligence levels! (Unless... snipping a miqo'te immediately kills them afterwards. Neat! Science!)

I wouldn't mind the queue times if it meant player migration from cats.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Not sure where the OP gets the most people play Miqo'te from, I see just as many Elezen and Hyur's running around...might even see more ankle biters than the rest in my experience. I personally have two Hyur, one male and one female plus one Miqo'te which is male. I have had played other races though and tend to switch between them depending on my mood using Fantasia's. I also had an ankle biter for quite a while. This thread in my opinion is quite pointless as the premise behind it is false, the premise being SE intended most people to play Miqo'te plus the rest of what was said is so highly subjective based on the OP's personal opinion that it does not lend much credence to the claim made about SE's intentions.

I'm not bored as a human. O.o

Yes I know. I got my own cat neutered in real life. Miqo'te should have equal rights. If we get neutered, every race should get neutered.
And I find it funny that people keep posting stats and percentages showing that Hyur are the most popular race. But the stats don't show how many of those Hyur are bots.

So what is the actual point of this thread?
People play what they want, you shouldn't have to care about that.
If you like miqo'te, so be it. If others choose something else, so be it. Their choice.
It's not like you have to stare at their character the whole day.

Well, uh... I see a lot of cat people wherever I go... followed by Lalafells, but I love lalas, they are adorable. I would hug all the lalas in the universe. As for the cat people, I've heard people saying that they always wanted to have a tail irl... I'm not implying it's the only reason but that was the one that made me wonder so many things about it. As a true warrior race (highlander, the FF saiyans), I'll squish the cat people with my bare hands if they ever want to be "cute" in front of me. Thankfully the population of cat people will get reduced when the dragon people get introduced... as far I can read in this thread.

This is pretty much what I said several pages ago, but clearly no one listened. Seriously, the direction this thread took.

... no. This thread already went that direction with the original post. *Sigh* Only one thing left to do now due to the way humanity is...

Blame Squarefor the anthro fetish many people have? Nice try there. People choose what they want. You can't pin that on Square.

Tank cat is not so easily squished. I am compact and built to withstand even the stompiest of dragons! :3

I am also, like all female miqo'te, doomed to be cute by default no matter what. -.-

Lovely. Race wars? Really? Are people that insecure about what they picked they have to demean other people's choices?

Well, if it makes you any happier, you've kind of succeeded in looking a bit more fiercer than the average catgirl. At least in my eyes! :D

That is the king of all popcorn gifs.

Gus ftw. xD

...yeah, I don't get the point of this thread either. 16 pages (and apparently growing?) pretty much about people practically just bashing Miqo'te (and/or the players who chose that race)? Someone perhaps insulted OP in-game based on the race they picked for their character, and they felt they needed to "explain" themselves? It (apparently) didn't help anything, only created an opportunity to be mean. And don't get me wrong, I get the joke part of things, that's all fine. But there's a solid line between joking about it and just plain being "racist". There was that other thread with in-game stereotypes? A lot of those were race-based, and even though a lot of them were actually negative in meaning, I couldn't help but laugh at them, because they were obviously not intended to make people feel bad/hurt. Unlike most of the things here. Okay, fine, we get it: you don't like Miqo'te. But, as was pointed out, nobody's holding a gun to your head to make you stare at them non-stop. Move on.

Um, let's not go into how women becoming strong and dominant is (should be) perfectly alright, but men becoming any sort of effeminate is just a big no-no. Let's not go into how if you put more weight on the lighter side of a scale, it will potentially outweigh the heavier side and tip the scale over, eventually. Also let's not go into how the Eastern and Western cultures are actually different (what a surprise) - the high-pitched, "schoolgirlish" female voice in Japan is, for example, actually desired, because that has become considered normal and elegant throughout history. In the Western world, it simply is annoying for many. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be accepted though, especially in a game that's made by Japanese (and probably, primarily, for a Japanese audience).


In any case. Someone please close this thread. It serves no purpose and is just grade 3 topsoil for a negative atmosphere.

I thought about saying that too, (You put a better spin on it though. :P) but I figure the MOD's will get around to locking it/deleting it at some point anyway. Threads like this generally don't last, unless the MOD's go not noticing threads like this for... quite some time. (In which case, contacting them about it makes it go faster sometimes)

In the meantime, all we can do is watch the thread burn while eating popcorn.

I've been waiting for a demon/succubus type race since 1.0 haha. Usually that is the race I prefer to play, so..I was ecstatic when Yoshida said that with Au'ra we could make one^^

So yea, one less cat girl running around lol

As for the races now..I think all of them can look really nice, depending. ^^

Will we be able to change races yet keep our character?

I am sure we can- using fantasia.

Unless you mean create a new character and keep the one who have then yes you can do that also.
If you pay for more than 1 character slot that is.

Miqote doesnt have an ass though. And are way uglier than Mithra. If they looked like Mithra did in ffxi they would be the best hands down
