I kinda agree and disagree on several points. Miqou'te seems to be a FFXIV thing in the point that it's such a popular (and most popular) race to play... statistically, that would mean the Miqou'te would be an ideal candidate for catching people's eyes.

I'm not digging Yshtola being that representative for all of XIV, either, though. I haven't played 1.0 (my comp would probably burst into flames, from what I've heard of it's rather hardcore reqs to play), but I DO somehow relate more to that guy - regardless that I've only seen him in 1.0 youtube vids/Heavensward promo/2.0's Calamity opening vid trailer. He seems to be sitting in what would be the player's position - so looking from the adventurer's (ours) standpoint... rather than Y'shtola, whom is moreso on the support/sideline of the game's story. I don't feel she plays a huge role either - nothing more than any of the other scions. If anything, even Thancred might stand out more (more obvious/recognizable/standout character traits.... and so easy to poke fun at >_>).

On the other side, though.... the guy is not in FFXIV (that I know of). He's in the opening movie as a gateway movie from 1.0 to 2.0, but before I realized he was also referenced in 1.0, I had no idea who the hell he was - and I still kind of don't. Does he even have a name? o_o; I don't even know if he even played a part in 1.0 (as I never had a reason or need to really look him up - only seen him vid trailers like the one that pretty much outlines Midgardsormer's fight and he has a vision of it). o_O So if a good chunk of players don't even know who this is other than some random guy in the opening movie, he's probably been forgotten or placed in the "meh, random person" bag and dismissed by a good chunk of the playerbase. That doesn't make good for representation. :\ Only faces that either stand out, or that everyone recognizes, would. Technically, Y'shtola does both. Everyone that plays the game knows who she is, and anyone who hasn't is going to go "OMGKITTY". But yeah. Just from what I've seen alone, the guy seems more like "one of us adventurers" than a support character - when adventurers (the players) are the main characters.

So... I agree and disagree o.o The guy is a better but not a good representative of FFXIV, though Y'shtola is a better but not a good rep of FFXIV o_oa .....
..... *breaks brain*
I don't have a suggestion on who would be better, though.

Though, playing badass gunner Merlwyb would be fun
