I ship this couple

[Reokudo]

They're just footballs to me, footballs whose screams upon dying amuse me greatly. <.<

Here we go again, the whole same topic with the Elins in Tera.... I hope this doesn't bring censorship/limitations etc in the future for us fellow lalafels.

SE being an Asian company (originally) and the dev team being Japanese, I really doubt it.
Bluehole had/has no balls to go with unedited Elin, that's all.

I don't think interracial is possible since we've never seen any half-blood in the game. except between sub-races like Sun and Moon Miqo'te.

In one of the 1.0 polls, there was a question which half-blood we want to see. Unsurprisingly, lala'te was a clear winner.

I was thinking the same thing, that whole massive debate turned me off from that game eventually. Players who chose Elin would constantly receive badgering in all methods of chat since the community seemed to decide they "must be closet pedos" and should have instead chosen another race(which all had massive chests except Popori whom are all male).

The problem with TERA is that it's F2P, so all sorts of immature people are playing it. I personally can't wait till the free trial period is over so that we get a natural filter working in ffxiv.

I think the difference there is that Elin (like everything else in TERA) were designed to be sexually appealing to players. They were also pretty much young human girls with animal ear/tails wearing very little, whereas Lala's aren't shaped like adolescent human females and clearly display a variety of adult personalities and professions.

Correct. The important point is though, that Elin are not shaped like children - Lalafells are much closer to children proportion-wise actually. The main reason why Westerners shouts "PEDO" at the first sign of someone preferring a petite/small chested body is because they are used to much bigger sizes, so they automatically associate a petite body with children - which isn't the case. Narrow-mindedness ignorance at it's best.

So let's try to look at it from different angles/possibilities to ease some people's minds:

Has anyone ever played any of the Final Fantasy series on the Gameboy/DS/3DS systems? Basically the in-game characters look like lalafells but their actual full CG scene art is of an adult.

Perhaps other races' perception of them is viewed differently due a dimensional shift/distortion and only lalafells can see each other's true forms?

If that makes you feel more comfortable think of it that way.



But I would like to point out key points as someone already mentioned:

Lalafells are adults and as someone has stated they even have facial hair.

I love how people's dirty's minds automatically think of something sexual right away. Sometimes love doen't always require phalic needs. It's the good company you enjoy and how that other person is the only one who understands and completes you at a spiritual/mental level. Where you can look into each other's eyes and understand each other without words. I would totally ship Biggs and Wedge as well now that someone mentioned it XD; But my main shipping couple would be Lalafell healer + Derplander. (I hope someone writes a fic about them XD


Oh and on the voices of lalafells, you can actually choose a deeper voice for them but I guess most people generally like choosing the lighter anime type girl voices?

I'm just gonna go ahead and ignore all the replies commenting that this is pedophilia



This is exactly how I felt when I watched that scene! "Please be safe, Derplander."

For me, it was a ship at first glance and I've finally found a fellow shipper /internal screaming

*highfives* YES I wish the forums had a friending or PM option XD;

I agree. In the age where the whole society seems to be crazy about sex, people tend to forget the platonic side.

Within arms distance looking at each other? Equipping yuri goggles.

Personally as a WAR, I'll fall for any dude in a Cleric's robe. =/

Just wanted to let everyone know that this thread will welcome all types of couple shipping XD;;

Okay First Quick short story about lalafell x other race I wrote during work >.>;. (grammar might not be the best, but not too horrible I hope lol) I shall call this story....

Love on the shores of Limsa Lominsa

I remember the first time I met you on the docks of Limsa Lominsa I was doing recruitment for the company at that time and was heading out to Gradania. You were resting on a bench waiting for the next flight. The way you carried yourself and the way your auburn hair shone in the light that reminded me of flames caught my attention. I thought to myself "Ah he would be a fine addition to our company". Sure enough, my judgment proved true as you quickly rose in ranks in the company and integrated into the community flawlessly. Things were fantastic and you provided excellent company during my adventures as we bantered back and forth into the night.

It was not till that one particular evening as I laid motionless from the deep wounds during a battle inside the walls of the invisible city, wondering if I was going to die that everything changed. You happened to hear my distress on the link shell and without hesitation you asked where I was and promptly came to my rescue. My vision was hazy as I laid under the glow of light as you raised me back to the land of the living. It was from then on that I grew more conscience of you. Call it Knight in Shining Armor Syndrome if you will, if there is any proper name for it. The rapport we previously had while we talked was gone. I being too conscience of your being and became a tongue tied silly fool without words to express myself properly. I hid into my shell.

My thoughts were clouded with you. Wanting to seek out your attention but yet not knowing what to say. I knew things were impossible as I was a Lalafell and you a Hyur. My people have the appearance of children to your kind. I was not a fool enough to follow the footsteps of Leleah Leah. Every Lalafell has heard of that story since they were a foot tall. It was about a Lalafell who fell in love with a Hyur and went to great lengths to become a Hyur herself to gain his and his kind’s acceptance. She eventually managed to become one after striking a deal with Alibaba the demon. Unfortunately, the Hyur she pined after did not return her feelings. In the end she went berserk from demon possession and killed his entire village and disappeared.
They say the piercing sounds you hear during a desert storm are the cries of her never ending fury.

I do not wish to harbor these feelings as it inhibits me from talking to you. I want to go back to those carefree days where I just thought of you as another silly Hyur. So with these thoughts I shall place all my feelings into this empty bottle and seal it forever and cast it into the seas of Limsa Lomina.
