SE has an understanding of what the people want...

And it's cat girls.

I did them justice by fix'in it.

I would be a lot more interested in Miquote(and au-ra for that matter) if it wasn't for the tails. I hate tails with a passion.

well, now there's buns for the "I like animal ears but hate tails" crowd. Er, as long as you hate headgear too I guess, heh.

For some reason, population statistics would have you believe that there has been a decrease in the number of cat bois out there ... and a decided increase in bunny bois.

go figure.

I like the ears on my bunny bois ... (3 alts converted, but not my main ... would be weird after almost 8 years)

It's Rog or nothing, baby.

I like my men Rog, my women Rog, everything's gotta be Rog or I ain't playing.

All this talk of Buns and Cats when we need to return to rats.

So like Warhammer Vermintide 2, but nicer. Interesting.

Hmmm, I honestly have taken a fancy to the look of Meteon. I wonder if a playable avian race is in the cards?

I don't believe so.

Her concept wasn't put forward, and it seems like she was the only one of her kind... save for her copies which were literally just her exact same form just sent to different planets.

If they did though, I'd prefer them to look more adult-like. The twitter-sphere has already done... extremely gross and unspeakable things with her and I don't wanna give them another child-appearing race to run off with.

Agreed. If her species was released as a playable race, it would be preferable for them to be much more adult.

Well sure, Vermins against the tide of bad guy insted of BEING the tide of bad guys might be viewed as "nice".

Anyway, if we're going to start wishing, I'd be for any race that looks less than human. Whatever they would be doesn't really matter, although I'd be more for the less popular race of machines (so unpopular in games that they're almost nonexistent, even in sci-fi games). Say, some forgotten allagan accident crawling out of the blue, or whatever. Then we'd probably need a different kind of starting quest, though, and putting such effort seems even less likely than a game that would have a playable canine race. Why is it always the flipping cats?

If introducing Burmecians quells the lala infestation I'm all for it!

SE has the combined brain power of a slice of cheese baking out in Sahara desert. FFXIV team made this game what it is. SE just provided the cash and thankfully so far has kept their greedy arse hands out of it. For now.

So thank FFXIV team for the cat girls, not SE.

It's not that I actually want the ears, it's more like the ears are easier to deal with for me if I like the rest of the aesthetics/animations and can make the character I like the general appearance of. As for the headwear, it was annoying at first but I quickly got over it because I generally prefer shades/glasses/circlets/etc over hats anyway, which freed up a huge chunk of space in my glamour dresser when I switched.

The only thing that bothers me about Viera is the lack of available hairstyles. I have exactly two hairstyles I can use that don't look like I have a shrub strapped to the back of my head. Thankfully the one I'm using now I really like so I'm happy with it :)

You mean it's not bowls of fruit?

Mind blown.

Guilty.

My alt is a Cat girl.

So, here's a question then. Why not ask for animation sets to be unlocked/selectable/etc?

This kind of feature is not unheard of in the MMO space, and it sounds like it would be more satisfying than a tail toggle - then you wouldn't need animal ears either.

I started out as a male Hyur and enjoyed it. I wanted to try cat girl to see if I liked it. I hated the tail. So I bought a 5 pack of Fantasia thinking I'll just experiment around. Next stop was Viera. I've been Viera for quite a while with no intentions of switching....but hey at least I have a Fantasia stock if I ever do lol.

Bunnies are an affront to the animal races for their lack of tails!

We got rid of our tails so we wouldn't have to deal with clipping. Learn to evolve, cat peasant. :b

I'd probably play one if it wasn't for the tail, clipping triggers me too much.
Even just hair that is neck-length clips easily in a lot of stuff and is too much for me.

Jokes aside, the current state of NA in regards to this and other '' social issues '' is pretty infuriating.
As someone that enjoys sexualized content in games it's a real buzzkill how extremely backwards and puritanical it has become on the '' Western '' front.

Even with old games that either get remakes or get '' updated '' it often gets censored I am getting really sick and tired of it, really tiresome with the constant bickering about it online too.
I dunno why it's so hard to just have actual diversity and variety, which does include this kind of content too.
Like not everything in all of existence needs to cater to one type of person it's so annoying.

Blizzard has done a lot of this in recent years it's not just in WoW and with that meme and controversy, I quit Hearthstone when they started doing it there it just completely turns me off from even supporting them when I see it happen because I see continued supporting as enabling it.
And it's like getting poked in the face once or twice is annoying but after hundreds of pokes it becomes infuriating and unbearable and you get angry.

the problem is that they are covering their a**es because of their companys reputation now. Some girls I knew that played wow (Still good friends with them) essentially said "Is it wrong for a woman to be alluring now? For them to be desired?"

I would actually love this. I could easily see myself switching back to Highlander or even possibly Femroe if I could use the same walk/run animations as my Viera.

I don't want cat girls
I want long hairstyles for my cat girls

I want Lyse's ponytail & Hilda's ponytail because I think the hairstyles we have are okay- but it's incredibly frustrating when NPCs have wavy/ curly hair/ braids etc & for some reason we do not except for 1-2 hairstyles that look out dated.

It's sick/funny how after that "stuff" came out they make all these changes to the game. Are the saying the Blood Elf flirt emote made them do it?

In the end of the day most of what people do boils down to wanting to be desirable, I don't think that the reason why most men want to look like Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavil is because they want to be healthy it's because of vanity and women find it attractive.
Most men want to look and be like that to get womens attention.
Same with people showing off their wealth etc, it's all about wanting attention and to feel superior and good about yourself and ultimately to be desired by others.

There's little difference between male strippers and male actors in terms of physicality, and shirtless scenes in movies primarily exist for women and gay men.
I dunno which it was but I remember watching one of the Twilight movies for the lulz when I was a kid ( they're genuinely hilarious btw ), and one of the guys kept taking his shirt off in almost EVERY scene for no real reason.
Even tho some love to pretend otherwise he didn't do that for men to go '' wow look at how strong he is so cool '', he did it because it made girls and women go '' omfg he's so hot /drool ''.

Edit: To some extent I think this applies to men acting like women showing skin/ being sexual is a horrible crime against humanity or inherently objectifying.
I think the reason why most of the guys do it is either because they are overcompensating because of their own issues/ past mistakes or they're doing it because they think it's what women want.
They're basically trying to say '' look women, I am not one of those gross guys ain't I so great? Plz sleep with me. ''.

Altho often times I also think a lot of people just have extremely conservative and backwards views on women in this regard, and they might be socially progressive overall but they still have these views and they think that it's progressive when it isn't.

Pretty sure she's just a slightly tweaked child au ra model. I'd think that would be easier to implement, but SE would probably find a way to add a restriction or two due to wings. :P

"The blood elf made me do it" Should be a running joke in what's left of that game.

I think I agree with you on this. This is why I raised my eyebrow with the practices of blizzard before and after their scandal. I believe madeline Roux was a shield of "See how progressive and tolerant we are? There's no way we're unethical." Bam, right in their faces, and now they're nerfing female allure in the game to compensate for their malpractices.
