Odd question regarding Minfilia?

So this is a rather odd question that piqued my interest for some reason.

Is Minfilia a midlander or a highlander?

Her model from 1.0 looks more midlander, but then again it was more generic looking, but her new unique character model from 2.0 appears more highlander. I would think she is supposed to be a highlander since she is Ala Mhigan, but that isn't a definate, plus she could be half and half.

Any ideas or thoughts?

She's a Midlander. Not every Ala Mhigan is a Highlander, just like how not every Gridanian is Elezen, every Ul'dahn is Lalafell and every Lomisan is Roegadyn.

The reason for her unique character model? She's a major character in the storyline. They get special treatment in RPGs.

Thanks for the response. But I wasn't trying to imply that I didn't know the reason why she had a unique model. I was trying to point out that the unique model looks more highlander. Though I guess it could be more to show the passage of time than actually showing her heritage. Though I'm curious did we ever see her father? I never played 1.0.

If I remember right... if you played 1.0 and started in Ul'dah, then yes.

I'll have to see if I can find a clip now.

Minfilia (Ascilia) is a child in Ul'dah in your first encounter (Ul'dah Mainplot 1.0) via the Echo. Her father is Warburton - a Midlander clansman from Ala Mhigo and a member of the Ala Mhigan Resistance, presumably along with Gundobald and Widargelt which would imply he helped establish Little Ala Mhigo but they never really expounded on Warburton and it is fuzzy where they were going with the original storyline - had a much more FFVI/FFXII feel and direction than the current plot.

Minfilia herself is potentially a child between two clans (Highlander mother & Midlander father) - but her mother is never really mentioned nor is it addressed. She was raised more or less by her "adoptive" mother F'lhammin who is also potentially mixed race (Sunseeker & Moonkeeper). She's between the ages of 7 & 9 as Ascilia, and is the Acting Antecedent by the age of 16 or 17, putting her at 22 or 23 after the Calamity - putting her age at roughly 25 by the end of A Realm Reborn potentially? (Not sure here.)

We don't know if her mother was a highlander (maybe with her large breast) but we do know her father was midlander and Minfillia looks midlander for the most part.

Anyways, we only have one confirmed mid-highlander mix in Hildebrand's parents, so maybe they take after the parent of the same gender?

He look like a Highlander to me. No eyebrows, if I see it right.
Why Minfilia looked like a Midlander during 1.0? Because there was no female Highlander model during that time.

Also, he died 15 minutes after the game started.

I can't see any highlander in Minfilia. I just always assumed she's a midlander.

Never play on 1.0, but this is really escalated quickly... :eek:

Also if you people already doing last year Halloween, Minfilia totally doing female midlander emote like Kan-E-Senna.

I'd say that would be conclusive... but Yugiri's initial model used miqo'te animations and we all know how that turned out.

The reason I got curious is actually because of the glamour gear they just released of hers. I've seen plenty of players with her clothing, but there was one that looked exactly like her, and that player was a female highlander. That's what initially piqued my curiosity, since, until then, I always thought midlander too, then I remembered she was Ala Mhigan, which is "mostly" highlanders. But even though there was no female model in 1.0 there was a male one and while I can't speak of his face, which does look highlander, Warburton's body model is midlander, you can tell by the shirt he is wearing, which is the male midlander "underwear".

Female highlanders, for the most part, have very.....hard/masculine faces and bodies. I would say Minfy is a midlander.

I'd say Minfilia is a Highlander who never had a Highlander upbringing. Note her assets are larger than a Midlander's (even if she was totally a Midlander in 1.0, girl blossomed hard in those 5 years...). That was a going joke for a while during the 2.0 Beta. Then they launched the new Hildibrand questline and gave Nashu a similar growth spurt. The joke's gotten pretty old now yet we still keep seeing it being made (Y'shtola totally got work done with the outfit change).

I'm pretty sure she's a Midlander. Obviously I can't say for sure because NPC exceptions, but my main argument is my own character. Here I am with my hair dyed blonde, wearing Minfillia's outfit.

Almost identical =P

Out of curiousity, does she have a class/job? I'm only in the ARR part of the storyline (striking against Galean outposts to get to Ultima Weapon) and haven't seen her use any combat abilities.

The other Scions appear to be an arcanist, a monk, a black mage, a rogue, and a conjurer.

She is a 'princess', she doesn't fight. Just stands there, occasionally sticks her assets in your face during cutscenes and gets rescued.

Alas, even the boost given by the outfit isn't a patch on the actual lady herself.

Minfilia is without a shadow of a doubt, a Midlander. The possibility of her exhibiting Highlander traits are there. But her base model is a Midlander. Granted that you can make a Highlander look almost identical to a Midlander (I've seen it done). Watch when Minfilia comes back, she's gonna kick butt and become a MCH. Idk why but I get this gut feeling they are gonna hype her up when she's back. New hair, new outfit, and a new attitude.

Hopefully it won't include more padding...

They are that big because that's where she gets the echo from.
Ever gone into a valley and yelled?
Same idea with her.

She never fought, so we don't know what weapon she have.
We could call her class "Organizator", maybe? Or Manager.

She's a midlander.

She'll probably come back as a Red Mage in 3.4. And be muscled up. All of a sudden she's a Highlander.
