SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES

I see where you're going with this, SquareEnix. You can't fool me with your shenanigans!

Care to expatiate? I don't seem to follow...

Oh gods, this is making think of that meme. D:
The one where you try to forget, but things in groups with 1 odd one out constantly remind you of it.

It would seem the jokes towards Alphinaud continue unabated even after he has repeatedly proven himself beyond all expectations.

Just wait till the he clocks around twenty summers old... naturally many people have forgotten (or didn't know) that Elezen youth have very stunted growth until they reach that age. This is because their lifespans are longer than the other races; thus, they age a little slower during puberty. After that, they sprout to over six feet plus in height.

It is indeed ironic that the OP is a Lalafell... Elezens do have this strange habit of punting Lalafells around once they attain their full height and maturity.

The day Alphinaud goes from cute hubby to ugly giraffe is the day this game dies for me.

*(Laughs)*

This is still FFXIV and not FFXI lol... I promise you, the Elezen look excellent in almost anything in this game. I would know... I was an Elezen from the every beginning until the Au Ra were released in Heavensward.

Plus, to be honest, when Alphy eventually grows up, I reckon there will still be a substantial queue of potential wifeys outside his door.

I'm sure he'd be a very pretty giraffe.

Oh no. Not the meme.

I went into the character creator to see if I could get something that looked like Alphinaud...turns out Elezen men get 3 different ages! Meanwhile women only get one.

Alphinaud, age 22
