First of all I don't want to hurt any Lalafell players' feelings. Now with that out of the way I invited my friend to try out the game in a free trial. Because he wanted to be a gladiator, he started in Ul Dah. So I followed him all the way. So he has to do the main scenario quest, and one of the very early quests is about Nanamo Ul Namo, where she was disguised as a peasant running around and freaking her bodyguards out. So he did the quest but he was so creeped out by the tiny Nanamo and the old bodyguard but I told him the story gets better. But Ul Dah is city of the Lalafells so he basically doesn't want to continue on because he found it too weird to have all these tiny people running around all over the place. I tried telling him how much better the game becomes but he also got bored since the combat early on is just one button and plus the Lalafell that made him quit the game at Level 8 while he was at Black Brush Station. This is honestly such a shame because he was curious about the endgame raids but he can't get over Lalafells. I'm not trying to shame Lalafells or whatever but I'm just trying to get this off my chest because it sucks that my friend doesn't want to play this game.

I know how he feels, nothing scares me more than seeing all these ankle biters within ankle biting range, makes me uneasy.

Assuming your friend does exist, he just made an excuse not to play cause he didnt want to.
Thank you, next. -

It's only natural to be afraid of the little eyebrow shavers, bane of all male highlanders.

I agree that lalafell are a problem. I'll see that they are dealt with.

The devs should seriously consider making a black censer bar over all lalafells.

not even counting the rat people-the quina-the drones-the ronso-the al-bed and many other final fantasy races like garu ... ff has always and always will have weird and unique races lol
Its a fantasy ...

Do other races get this kind of negative attention? Maybe I'm not seeing the same degree of negativity towards other races or players of other races, since I'm always a Lalafell and partial to Lalalfell. I've seen a few negative people towards "catgirls" or "catboys" about Miqo'te. And some sexist people who say that say Female Roegadyn don't look "feminine" enough. But not to the degree of Lalafell. It's really disheartening.
Lalafell are something that have really drawn me to the world. Along with the incredible lorebuilding of Final Fantasy Online. There are plenty of other MMORPGs with small or cute races. But none of them has impressed me with the attention to worldbuilding and crafting interesting world deserving of the name Final Fantasy, as Final Fantasy XI and XIV. Have been a staple of roleplaying games since halflings of Dungeons and Dragons, which was more likely than not inspired by Lord of the Rings Hobbits. Lalafell are also known as, and look like Dwarves, a very fitting traditional Fantasy race.
As a long time Final Fantasy player, while I played as a Mithra in XI. I was drawn to the game, and Windurst, because of how sympathetic and emotional the scene of Tarutaru Black Mages defending Tavnazia from the Shadow Lord's beastmen hordes. Ever since then, I've dreamed of a sandbox setting that let me defend citizens and innocents and stone walls from an incoming evil threat. It was such an emotional moment, seeing these cute Tarutaru give their all in summoning spells to save a city and save lives, with all their magical strength. The despair on their faces, I've always wanted to feel like that kind of hero. That I could give my all to save a city like that, and if I failed, the city would fall forever, and there would be consequences.
I've yet to ever experience something so dynamic and immersive yet. But Final Fantasy XI was so a wonderful game, my first MMORPG. And such a meaningful experience. And that trailer and Tarutaru fighting to save Tavnazia stuck with me forever. It's why I started in Windurst.
And liking that legacy and these designs is what made me so excited to play Final Fantasy XIV when 1.0 came out. I saw a video from Youtube user "MrPlainfolk" of an adorable Plainsfolk girl running around the city, and I knew I had to play Final Fantasy XIV. Even though everyone was leaving the game, and I was called a Final Fantasy fangirl for wanting to play the game so many other people disliked. Being a Lalafell Thaumaturge and exploring the Black Shroud like the Lost Woods, was something that kept me pushing forward. And if I had a time machine, I would go back in time to do more of it. It's not Final Fantasy Online without Lalafell. And they did a great job of adapting Tarutaru to a modern MMORPG with modern graphics. Enough so that I was excited to move on from a Mithra player to a Lalafell player.
Nanamo is a great character. And that first scene doesn't portray how great her personality is at all. The fanbase is full of people who call Lalafell evil, because of the greed of some Monetarists like Teledji. But Nanamo is a shining jewel in the desert, and my favourite character. She loves and empathizes with her citizens, recognizes her own privilege, and loves her people so much that she would be willing to part with it. Her empathy is radiant.
And honestly, I just can't understand how anyone could feel this way. I couldn't imagine enjoying Final Fantasy Online without Tarutaru or Lalafell. -
