Blame Squeenix for why we all play as Miqo'te

Nope i'm pretty sure the player makes the final decision on what race your character is. As you've outlined it yourself in your post, you've listed multiple reasons on why you made a choice.

Developer is a victim of your own illogical thought pattern.

Op sounds like a shallow 13 year old disney princess

So... did no one bring up the census data that shows that Miqo'te are actually NOT the most common? The most common, actually, are Midlander Hyur males.

No one is to blame here.

although the au ra female is a result of people preferring short and cutesy females based on data and feedback from players.

I just wanted a realistic tough female warrior without hulking out, so highlander suits me fine. I'd have like the option for a similarly athletic build for Au Ra, but I guess everyone else wants to play pretty princess dress up with their stick thin anime waifs. Ooooh well...

That was so disappointing to read. Variety is never a bad thing, but instead we'll just get lizardgirls as the new catgirls. x_x

variety is nice but the amount of time it takes to design a new race is daunting enough. adding in completely different builds is a design nightmare for the armor teams.
There's a reason hyur are the only race with distinct racial body type differences between their subraces.

U know my abs sexy



Edit: I was a miqote since sep 2013, went lala for a month around june 2014 then back to miqote, went elezen for these few past weeks, then landed on Hyur Highlander. I was determined to make a non-ugly Highlander male. I like looking at the highlander females walking about too.

Again, you know my abs sexy
