Sounds like a crutch imo, if you need the smaller hitbox or to reduce the visual clutter of having party members bigger than a breadbox you might invest in heightening your raid awareness instead

Hitbox is the same on all races as far as I know, and it's pretty small. Not sure if Sfia is being serious, semi-serious or joking, but it seems like it's more about quick visual identification and aid than anything. Not gonna make me want to be one at any rate, I already play a Tarutaru in FFXI anyway.

Fun fact, a friend of mine changed from Lalafell to Roegadyn cause I complained once I couldn't see him inside one of the towers during Grand Octet and I went to the same one as him. I meant it as a joke, it was just my mistake for not paying attention and not adjusting quicker, but he took the joke further. But it actually helped me see him better... lol.

I'm suddenly reminded of all those instances when people couldn't figure out how I didn't get hit by something by finding and standing in the tiny like 1 pixel in size gap in the AoE markers and just telling them "I'm a skinny cat. If I fits, I sits" :P

Yeah mechanically speaking your actual hitbox is only a single pixel at the very center of your character's targeting ring, so if you have a smaller character it's easy to identify where the center of said circle is. I guess lalafell is an option for people who need the extra help with that

Naturally we find the source of the most dark and heinous of propaganda spread by the kickers of shins...

As an Ex- Hyur Highlander I can tell you the crimes against Eorzea. . Each night, they slither their way into the rooms of innocent male highlanders. . and SHAVE OFF THEIR EYEBROWS!!!!!

CLEAN OFF! Imagine the trauma they cause, just imagine. But you don't have to- look at me, I compensated by covering my entire body in hair!

Never trust a lala!

On another note though, Producer / Director of the game plays a Lalafell... SoooOoo MVP? /shrug ;)

Look, we don't want to do it but we have to. If you knew what would happen if we didn't it would break your mind. We do what we must and sacrifices must be made.

P.S. Please wear pyjamas.

I just assumed they had an some kind of genetic trait that caused them to always use too much lighter fluid when starting their BBQ... >.>

I thought your idol asmon hated lalafells.

Others players playing a lalafell is always bothersome because i can't see them.
I'm not sure if my eyes will like searshing for my own character for precise positioning (if it ever happens).
I'm a grey parser.
I agree for the color tho, very good advice.

I mean JP does have a higher percentage of Lalafells, and their savage clear rates are higher so......

~~Good Luck.

MPK rarely gets it right. But I'll give him this one. Lalafell are great.

Likely because of gnomes in WoW. It actually was an advantage to be a gnome in PvP because good luck finding him in the mess of combat.... pretty much the same reason I'm not a fan of healing Lalafel tanks.

If you all stopped responding to this guy's stupid bait, he'd stop posting it.

Honestly, I never know it is that small.

I always wonder why I did not get hit by the AOE when one my of leg was still inside the marker. Now the mystery solved

It's all a matter of finding that 1 pixel that didn't light up and stand in it to dodge AoE's. Easier to find when character is small and thin >.>

I'll go lalafel once in a blue moon for like a week. My raid team realized mid raid they couldn't see me and it started messing up our prog since I was OT lol. That asides, I can't stand how low to the ground lalafel's camera is. It makes things so awkward for me.
