Doesn't help players in game treat you based on your race in game too. At least, on the 3 servers I swap between. I wasted used a Fantasia to turn into a cat just so people would talk to me. And they did. A lot. Some people even thinking the reason I talked to them was for insta sexual gratification ERP, to which it was so opposite of the fact I'd call it 350 degrees.

Same applies to Lalafel actually. I get treated literally like a child. I get it, I'm adorable, but dammit Lalas are evil 1000 year old soul drainers, everyone knows this!

And the sad thing is you can create cute/pretty looking FemRoe, Elezen, Highlanders.... in the character creator people just don't give them the time of day.

<Lots of Images>

While this is true, notice how they all tend to have the same make up or faces in the pictures you posted, well, aside from the main black haired Roe. Every time I see a femRoe, they all have that same dark make up, dominatrix like eyes, sexy lipstick, and turbo honkers. Hopefully when Stormblood hits we'll have a variety of more faces and eyes, but it's generally boring when there's only 1 face everyone deems good enough.

Kinda funny... Now that I look at it when they are all together they really need to make art with other races looks really silly how they are basically all cats.

It's also boring when all four faces look the same too. (speaking specifically about female miqo'te here)

I think the only variation is with cats honestly, for desirability. Take this as a personal opinion, but I find that all the races have perhaps 2 good face settings. I've customized every gender of every race and it's the lalas that can be near identical aside from the eyes. Anyways, the majority of the faces just don't look good or appealing. Except for cats and Sea Wolf women. It's also not a matter of who's prettier, either, I just find that there's usually 1-2 ok looking faces while the rest are dopey, dumpy or ARGH I'M SO ANGRY

No, all 4 face options for Sun kitties do not look the same, nor do all 4 face options for moon kitties look the same, just as all male Roegadyn don't look like Lou Ferrigno on a bad day.

Look pretty the same to me.

I guess the fact that people are forgetting this says a lot about why they don't do it more.

It's also notable that the NPCs for that event were those 3, no Miqo'te, Lala or Au'Ra in sight. As always so much is open to personal bias, and those who feel that their chose player race is hard done by will continue to feel that way no matter what because a relatively small minority of players choose that race. Therefore they will always be rare in-game, and forcing the matter through some in-game version of positive discrimination would be yet another example of real world politics intruding into the game. The point is people choose to play who and what they choose to play. Starlight posters featuring pretty Miqo'te and Au'ra females in mini-skirts will not change that one jot.

'forcing'? Player character demographics show an inherent player bias towards certain race/gender combinations, taking note of that with game art is not forcing anything on anyone, it's being responsive to player character demographics.

I'm not sure that the game promotional material does that, I think it's pretty well inclusive. I don't think the in-game event posters for things like Moonfire Faire or Starlight are impacting player choice, but in any case, as PArcher pointed out, the moonfire faire this year used both a Rogadyn and an Elezone as two of 3 races in the event art, and as the NPCs for the event. So please, don't act like people don't know about Elezen, Highlanders or Roegadyn, that's just silly.

The one with the darker nose is probably the only one that looks different, but the other three look more-or-less the same, and between the two clans, they're copy-pasted save for the markings and the eyes. Male Roegadyn have four different faces between the two clans. That's just the way I see it.

You swapped faces, yes. But you didn't swap the eyes or lips. Show a lapse of a randomizer.
