My girlfriend comes: Race problem

[Lollie]

This will be lost in the banter I'm sure but 2 notes.

All races have long necks, they do this to be lazy with necklaces. Elezen are still Dhamals though.
And more important, the benchmark/character creator is going to be your girlfriend's new best friend, since you get locked out of using the in game one every 6 uses or something like that now. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/

Female Au Ra is the best race

I have been in dungeons where I was the only one without a tail.

Tbh elezens have a long spine, probably about as much as a miqo'te or aura needs for its tail.

I think one person said the best option is to go to show me your "race's name". Does she want to play the game as herself? Like. Different type of being? Does she want to have something attractive to look at when she is playing? There are so many questions that she has to consider. Send her those thread pictures and let her decide on her own at least she ask you for your opinion.

I find the Elezen to be the most exotic and beautiful creatures in Eorzea. If she is going for aesthetics, I don't think you can make a better choice. Highlanders have the most striking features of the two Hyur female choices. They are built like track athletes, are the most well endowed of the two, and have piercing eyes. Midlanders are the dolls. They are ultra feminine, ridiculously pretty, and a lot smaller than the Highlanders. They are not as striking, but they are pleasant.

I was torn between highlander and midlander but ultimately decided with the latter as I felt the frames on the highlanders are just too large for my liking. When I put the WHM AF on the Highlander version of my character, my response was, "nopeee" and switched right back.

Ask your GF if the main job she wants to play factors in at all. I know I personally would have made my character Elezen if I decided to main something like BRD, or DRK.

There are a lot of miqo'te around because of the combination of being devastatingly alluring (both genders) and typically giving birth in litters.

Be miqo'te. It's just nature taking it's course.

miqo'tes aren't cats, they are born like humans usually 1 at a time.

A quick glance around any given population center in-game says otherwise. Juuuuuuust sayin'.

I think the best thing is to let your girlfriend log in as those 3 races and just play around with them. Letting the community pick is a bad idea, let her pick herself.
