Everything to know about 4.0 from the Fan Fest

Their logic on that is terrible. The game has more markets than just Japan. To deny what other data centers want, just because one area of the world wouldn't care for it is sad. The western, Europe, and Australian part of the world has a voice too.

What makes you think people outside of Japan don't like cute things, and/or the current representation of Miqo'te? I believe it's the 2nd most played race after Hyur (and by a small margin). Attractive races are more common in like every MMO, western or eastern. World of Warcraft you're going to find a lot more Blood Elves than Taurens.

I've said this before but attractive =/= cute. Miqo'te and Au Ra are "cute". They're youthful, with wide eyes and round features. You can make beautiful/attractive races without them being cutesy.

I addressed the cute aspect of the statement, and then I expanded on it with attractive. I do understand they are not the same thing.

If you do, then you're being deliberately obtuse about this particular argument. Why should we get nothing but cutesy races added because "Japan doesnt like them"? Last I checked, non-Japanese players make up a pretty large chunk of FFXIV's playerbase.

I am not being obtuse, I was responding specifically to the argument made vs furry cat people. Cute is often regarded as attractive, and they were advocating for an unattractive race. While I understand that "cute" and "attractive" are not identical terms, in the context of the argument it was relevant.
