Help! Racial Identity Issues~

[Niwashi]

Have both. That's what alts are for (well, one of the things alts are for).

Lalafell = yuck

[yexie]

*sigh* I keep switching between Lala and Miqote too... I don't know a solution either...

[Mugiawara]

Au'Ra is the answer.
[But if I had to pick, Lala. They're too cute and everything bad that happens to them is 10x hilarious.
I'm sick of Miqote girls in all honesty...I hate being one myself.]

Write down the pros and cons of each race, doesn't matter what they are i..e love the tail (miqote) hate being small (Lalafell) then go with the one with the most pros or just have 2 characters that you flip between as and when in the mood for each. You never know you may like the new race better than both, I think with heavensward we get a free fantaisia anyway so thats one less to buy.

Miqote Pros
♦ Original 1.0 Character
♦ People identify me as Miqote
♦ Cute/sexy in any gear
♦ Cute emotes

Miqote Cons
♦ Tail clipping into gear
♦ Doesn’t fit my personality
♦ Ears in any hat

Lalafell Pros
♦ Always makes me smile
♦ Best emotes and sit pose
♦ Racial stats boost my main job
♦ No weird gear clipping

Lalafell Cons
♦ People discriminate and make fun of Lalafell
♦ People stand on you at Marketboard or Retainer Bells
♦ Friends who known me since 1.0 cant adjust to the change
♦ Harder to show off fancy gear

Why not be a lala with a tail like me lol. No cons

I do want that gear and you are absolutely adorable! Love your signature art work!

I felt the same about switching from Midlander to Roe.... Thought I'd "not feel like myself" and that the connection to my char will be lost. Especially cause my Midlander basically looks like my real self. Much, much happier now and wouldn't change Roe for anything :3 (except maybe if they introduced a Qu-like race <3 ).

As for your torubles, I'd say go with the gut feeling. Which of the two makes you smile? As which race do you like roleplaying (not to be taken literally) and try to identify whether it's just nostalgia or guilt that you feel.

The 1.0 Miqote is definitely nostalgia! And my Lalafell always makes me smile when I play her. I make friends easier and feel more comfortable unless people are lala haters and tell me to go away. ;-; Your story of switching to Roe is inspirational though. I remember you as a Midlander and you made the switch to Roe and seem quite happy. Maybe I should take a page from your book.

Au'Ra is the answer.

I have no interest in Au’Ra unfortunately. I think Yugiri is gorgeous! But ear/tail clipping on Miqote already annoys me enough, cant imagine horn clipping issues!

And yes, I agree, Lala is master race! XD

[VictorTheed]

By the pros and cons u listed then I'd choose lalafell, people will get use to u being a lalafell and the other stuff i wouldn't worry about

[Bluevann]

See in June as an Au'Ra. You know you will.

[Gramul]

Just go full Roe. No one will blame you.

[Lexia]

Everyone knows the Miqote are the master race.

[o3o]

I love you too OP ♡
