My girlfriend comes: Race problem

[Heybunny]

The issue here is, attractiveness is highly subjective. Personally I wouldn't play an Au Ra, Hyur midlander or Mi'qote because I find them too dainty (they are pretty and cute though, and some people want that the most, which is fine!). I seem to go for the extreme height races, as my main is a female Roegadyn who I don't try to make look fierce and an adorable female Lalafell. I also really like female highlanders, I think I prefer the physically strong female look, but not everyone does.

I'd suggest to do as already mentioned several times and check the "Show your [insert race here]" threads for all races, even ones she may not think she would play - she might be surprised by a face/hair combo, or exclusive gear like racial/hempen! Also try making a character, there's always the possibly to recreate if she's not too far into the game and there's always fantasia!

I'm always like "Wow!" when I see a female Elezen, female Roegadyn and to a lesser extent, female Highlander as they're much rarer than the other females, I don't know if she cares about being a rarer race/gender or just about aesthetics. Either way, I hope she finds something that clicks for her and enjoys the game. ^^

I can post a pic of my femroe as well as my bf's alt who is a female Elezen if it'd help also.

I forgot to mention! Make sure your girlfriend jumps into game with her character and tests it before she actually creates one.

I've played almost every race and used so many Fantasia potions because of slight things that really bugged me (the way they ran or their emotes). I've also made some characters I thought were gorgeous in character creation but looked really odd in actual game lighting.

Just a heads up!

Your gf should choose her own race and not make one based on anothers preference, that's kinda silly.

I always base my decision on the class/job I am going to play, since you can max your base stats that way. Some people don't care if they have 3 extra points and play whatever race they like based on role play or pure cosmetics.

Even by a PVP/stat standpoint, what actual difference does 3 points make? It sounds pretty trivial.

Wooowww thanks all!! ( i put likes to some of you for the suggestions), seems Alexandra, after dowload the character creator and try to make all characters likes Female highlander, she in RL is a bit """tomboy""" with short hair and love go to Gym so its very probably she gets Highlander.

She likes some classes (lancer, pugilist, rogue... ) phisical dps but she likes too and would try Dark knight (i guess this last she believe as a dps too) but friend says me that "black" au'ra have the best initial dps stats, but i find in google highlander has too.

Other thing is Highlander are prety tall and my midlander`s height is only 185cm im not sure if minum highlander female height is above or less than this

Based on this data:


A max height midlander male should be slightly taller than a min height highlander female

A max height midlander male should be slightly taller than a min height highlander female

It would be very usefull thanks! so my midlander near to max will be a bit taller than her highlander (like in RL, so perfect)

I understand the desire to not want to play a highly popular race. Though my main is a Miqo'te, it's male. While male Miqo'te are still a few drops in the bucket, they are not as many as compared to female Miqo'te. Personally I have a hard time wanting to play short races in games, such as Gnomes, Dwarfs and Lalafell.

For now, I'd personally go with Highlander Hyur. My character on Behemoth started out as a Highlander.

I do highly recommend one day making a female Roegadyn alt to play around on. My Roegadame is pretty adorable in an "awkward giantess" kind of way.

I can confirm as a female highlander that is the shortest height I am as tall as the tallest Midlander male. so if you don't want her to tower over you I would suggest her going with shortest Highlander Female. (also gotta go fully chiseled cause those abs!!! so awesome ^_^b)

Yay for Highlander women!! \(^_^)/
