S-E, why so much hate towards the less popular races D: [MAJOR SPOILERS]

[Walluh]

Less popular races?

While player numbers might be low, it feels like 80% of npcs in the game are Elezen to me. No surprise plenty of them end up dying.

[Assirra]

Au ra being given the short end of the societal stick seems to have some precedence in Eorzea...

while this likely doesn't account for every au ra migrant, many are met with persecution or outright slaughter, such as the group with Sidurgu's parents.

Why no guff with an au ra player? Well your an adventurer, and useful. Not everyone is.

That...is brutal.
Is that part of the ninja questline? About the only au ra beside yugiri and the alex one i know.

[MsCroc]

Right?
You know it's funny. They said they were going to introduce a roegadyn scion.
And they did. Moenbryda. She lasted for about a patch or so's worth of content and then was killed off.
Despite being a warrior woman who had, in my opinion, an actual lovable personality.

Don't get me wrong, her death was very powerful. But she just felt like a waste of a character and I have a hard time believing SE would have been as willing to kill her off if she had been introduced as a "cute, moe girl."


Off topic: Newb forum-goer question. How do you tag/hide spoilers in posts like the OP does?

Just a fun thing that I noticed for a long time and seems to repeat itself lol.
Let's keep a tally of important storyline npc's. And those that died, or are important scheming villains. And their races.
(I am admittedly a bit bored and felt like making this joking thread)

I demand equality! Kill some miqo'tes, midlanders. Or make them into villains! There are too many of them anyway. D:

I've encountered a number of Miqote villains. Though when they're villains you can tell by their skin color... So far all of the ones that were villains had a dark gray skin color. In the archer class quest there is one female you spend several quests hunting down. Her face gets re-used for a few other villains as well.

Among Hyur there is a particularly brow-heavy male face that repeatedly shows up on villains - but I did once see it on an NPC you fight alongside.

Nay! The White Mage and Dark Knight questlines touch on that issue, but without any real depth. The 50-60 Ninja questline doesn't really touch on Raen culture, sadly, though Doman/Raen culture is probably very similar, and we do have some Doman snippets already floating about. Higiri does mention that Yugiri and her people have suffered terribly under the Garlean rule, though, and considering Rhitahtyn's hesitation in taking command of imperial facilities near Cape Westwind due to his race, we can only assume Garleans are racist as heck, despite the whole ideal that they value strength much more than origin.

In the 50-60 Dark Knight questline, Sidurgu mentions that some groups of Auri refugees were killed on sight when arriving in Ishgard, due to the Ishgardians mistaking them as Dravanians. He himself had to watch his parents get executed, because the Ishgardians figured it would be a mercy to let his family choose who's killed first. In the 50-60 White Mage questline, Alaqa mentions that her people were discriminated against, usually going as far as violence and other 'unspeakable' acts.

[FoxyAreku]

With those statistics, the graph is saying that Hyur is more popular than Miq'ote...



Now that I think about it, I'm going to blame RMT for the reason why Midlander Hyur is so popular.

Alphinaud
Alisaie
Ser Artoirel de Fortemps
Emmanellain de Fortemps
Count Edmont de Fortemps
Ser Aymeric
Ser Brunadier
Landenel
Ursandel
Inspector Briardien
Miounne
Marcette
Jandelaine

I was talking more major adult characters, but alphinaud being elezan did slip my mind.

Also humans are ALWAYS the most popular race in mmos. People are boring.

It's because some people like their gear to look good and not be tainted by tails, ears or odd proportions.

Only thing i wonder about.

Where are all those Au ra vanished to mysteriously? During the main story we had a whole part of all those refugees from Doman and none of the 3 big states wanted them in. This should mean there were quite a bit.
Now they all vanished into thin air except Yugiri pops up very few times during the main story.
I know they are ninja's and all but this is a bit silly.

Actually the only AuRa you see is Yugiri, the other Domans that you see are some variety of human.

[Cakekizy]

As my personal trainer Fray mentioned, "You can't save everyone."

But you can kill them all.
