Lodestone Survey (unofficial Eorzean Census)

[Altena]

snip

There are just too many DRGs. I mean it is one of FF's more iconic jobs. Also people probably prefer to stick to roles that they enjoy.. (melee, ranged, tank, caster etc) rather than make the switch.. and DRG has a pretty loyal fanbase (both bandwagoners and not).. Plus it is just a strong, well rounded class.

NIN is still a good class, but is in more of the supportive DPS role out of the 3x melee.

I believe it's mostly because of how much of a following DRG has, and how many are committed..

On top of that, NIN is newer than the other 2 melee.. Some people just get too comfortable with what they are used to.

Could be more to it though..

*EDIT*

Right... My signature is of my character in 2.xx as a DRG.. Hah! Just realized how this post may sound..

I actually made the switch to NIN on release of the job.. But I think my point still stands.

And here's the race analysis based on the 25.08.16 data:



Interesting to note, numbers of male Lalas (both tribes) on EU went up and female Sea wolf Roes on EU remained exactly the same.

I'm having a hard time believing these numbers for Jenova, I know for a fact that there is more then 114 people that have the Icebreaker title, as this data also states 158 people have The Dragonsong title. How can more people have a recent MSQ title that's locked behind a much earlier MSQ requirement?

Maybe some were inactive during time frame survey is using to calculate?

Maybe it counts the people that are currently using the title, instead of how many unlocked the archievement.

According to that website there are only 87 FemRoes on my server. Hooray for playing the least popular race/gender combo! Lol

Not surprising, lots of people wanted a lighter/tanned skin tone which is the only real difference between the 2 clans lol

Its sad but part of the reason I choose to play as one. People love Fem Roes but don't play as them, some are genuinely surprised to see one(which is a good feeling lol). Though kind hard to feel unique when the game is dominated by Miqo'te/Au Ra lol We may be Few Sister Roes but we are out there!

Also not surprised that Midlanders are so high, usually the "safe" option to go for. Personally I generally stay away from Playing as one in an MMO if thats an option because i'm already playing as one in the most realistic MMO ever made called Real life xD

I'm surprise that there's more female Miqo'te and Au Ra players than female midlanders in my server.

There's also significantly less male raen
