Proto-Lalafell

After 11 years on FFXIV, started this game during beta phase ARR in June 2013 before its release in August 2013, I'm now in my retirement tour & plan on retiring from 14 when I finish DT story & 7.1, I love the game, greatest game I ever played IMO but it's time to end my time on 14.

One thing I can't shake is I can't find any other game we're i can play a Lalafell looking character, I love the Lala because they remind me of a physical manifestation of pure Godly goodness & Innocence, a measurement I'll never match up to but one I highly respect & wish I could be.

I can play hot milf chicks, beast type characters & bad asses in FFXIV & other games but can't play the innocent little kid hero, except in Little Nightmares, but I've already beat the Little Nightmares games, highly recommend all who enjoy being a lala to play the Little Nightmares games.

So do u know any other games I can be a Lalafell type character in, whether it's a game were u create a character or play as already made characters I'm cool with either & welcome any suggestions, Ty FFXIV community for the 11 years of enjoyment and friendship I've had in this game.

I don't have any game recommendations but I hope you find what you are looking for and have fun in your future endeavours.

FFXI, they have the tarutaru race which lalafell were inspired by (most notably, Shantotto, who is FFXI's representative in the Dissidia games and who even appeared here in FFXIV in a past special event many years ago is a tarutaru), and thus are literally 'proto-lalafell.'

You can also get a Wind-up Tarutaru minion here in FFXIV to get a taste of what they look like (there's also the Wind-up Shantotto, but that's no longer available).

DQX has both Puklipo and Dwarves, and you can also play as a Human child if you want the kid hero vibe.

Its a bit older (released 2013 i think), but Ni No Kuni might be up your alley. I haven't played it myself, but its an RPG whose protagonist is a 13 year old boy, the entire game looks like straight out of a Ghibli Movie.

Someone already mentioned FFIX and DQX so I can't say anything else comes to mind currently
I'll have to think about some of the games I've played and whether they fit what you are looking for
Either way, good luck and I hope you're able to find what you're seeking

If you like Little Nightmares you might like INSIDE?

Another vote for FF11 - Taru-Taru race ARE Lalafells. The game is quite old now (20+ years) and yeah the graphics are PS2 era, but it's still a great game - harder than 14 with less QoL (you don't get quest markers or quest clues - get ready to use online guides, have to form your own parties, no flying mounts, etc) but the sense of accomplishment and achievement is far greater (especially if you can successfully solo stuff). It's had some improvements with the Trust system (NPC's that function a bit like 14's duty support/trusts but can join you almost anywhere in the game - including open world areas making solo and casual play a lot easier).

DQX is not available outside of Japan, but with a VPN and some tools you can still play the free trial with automatized translation (Look for DQX Abbey, they have a guide and a Discord server and everything).

It has aged a little, and the character options might seem more limited than FFXIV at first glance, but if you look at their premium store or even other players you'll realize that the simpler graphics allow for a lot more flexibility in customization.

I'll just share some Puklipo screenshots I took because I almost went for one based on the preview animations alone:

Looking at the premium store and comparing to FFXIV was a bit of an eye-opening moment I have to say...

World of Warcraft lets you play as a gnome which I'd say is close enough.

Really curious what model they’re using for the female Elvaan FF11 character from the new Alliance raid. The male NPC looks like they’re just using a normal 14 Elezen, but she looks like a shorter elf, with larger eyes and shorter neck! lol I really wish they’d add that kind of elf to the character creator! I’d really like a smaller, more delicate elf. Pretty much why I play a Lala.

Many Fantasy MMOs have some sort of Dwarf/Gnomish characters.

LOTRO has Hobbits, if you don't mind characters being a bit less pretty
WoW has Gnomes
FFXI has Tarutaru
GW2 has Asura (dunno about GW1), basically look like house-elves
etc.

Are you talking about Prishe? She's an elvaan yes, but one who is a child, or at least physically since she doesn't age, which is why she is smaller with bigger eyes. Also one of the most popular characters in FFXI, which is why she was chosen for this crossover.

To OP, WoW has more than just Gnomes like ppl are saying, there is also, Mechagnomes, dwarves, dark iron dwarves, earthen and vulpera for small races. Gnomes are just the smallest.

Yes, I was trying to avoid spoilers, but I guess she’s on all the promo art for the patch already. lol They never went into her age, and I never played 11, so I didn’t know her background.

I’d just like shorter, more delicate elves. The Elezen are too tall and bulky for me, with such long necks and broad shoulders!

As much of a (die hard) fan of fantasy dwarves as I am, they and gnomes are probably very far removed from what OP wants out of a playable race.

As other people have pointed out, World of Warcraft has gnomes. In fact, I played several different such characters before making the change FFXIV. The female models look pretty close to a lalafell.

I second this. Dwarves in Dragon Quest X have a lot of charm and are incredibly fun to play. They have all the quirkiness that you can enjoy with Lalas but are a bit more mature looking and have gender characertistics.

If you want pure *Lala* then the Puku's are for you. They're furry little balls of comedy. DQX has been translated by fans using Clarity so I highly recommend trying it. It's got a free trial. Sure it's a bit more round about than other MMOs but my many months playing DQX has been nothing but fun.
