Do roegadyns ever celebrate a holiday?

[Magic-Mal]

Cat girls/Au Ra girls are just much cuter for artwork than a bulky Roe.
Its really easy to understand why they use those more in artwork.

Art needs to be cute?

We won't get Roegadyn as the main race to a holiday for the same reason bestial races are 100% out of the question.

Kawaii waifu desu ne race comes first.

Personally I think one of the reason they will NEVER release a bestial race is because of The Ceremony of Eternal Bonding: Lover's Kiss. If they make a ceremony specific to them it will backfire as people will cry "Miqo'te should have a racial specific ceremony!!"

You can sell products even better, if you put a baby (face) on the cover. Cause we humans tend to buy these things more often (showed by statistics, I won't buy my apple juice if there is a baby on it lol). It's the relation from body and head (eyes,...), which make it "cute". So it makes more sense for a art which shows a cute miqo'te (and others) then a manly Roegadyn...

Compared to Roegadyns: Wtf. They looked so dangerous O_O They wanna hit me if I'll say something wrong. :O

Female Miqo'te?
Well. Look at the gear. I thing 90-95% of all male (miqo'te) equip looks like the same. Tank or Caster pretty much the same. And on female side: so much variations. From a fighting girl to a office woman everything is possible... (That is my opinion)

I was a lala for a short time. I saw the world in a different angle. Was funny (we trolled our Raid-Leader - 7x Lala, 1x Roegadyn lol, like a kindergarten). But I felt soo small or in other words everything looked soooo big. I was happy to find other lalas at this time...

But does it have to be cute? Let's take a look at FFXI's Starlight Celebration posters from the past.







Anyway, like Galka, if Roegadyn are drawn a specific way, they can appear as cute/adorable bear-ly men. Same applies to the women. The artist has the power to draw the eyes/face the way they wish.

Yeah if you're an amateur who just learned figure drawing 101. Good thing the staff has hired professionals.

I don't get how people don't want diversity in the artwork. It's ridiculous. Especially the one who called me jealous. How can anybody be jealous. I'm not a real Elezen. Your not a real cat-girl. Get over yourselves! All people want is to see diversity in the artwork. What's the problem with that? They're not selling anything to be honest. Just announcing what's coming to us. The poster for Ishgard should've had prominent Elezens, because it makes sense, just like a poster for Stormblood should have prominent Hyurs. Those are no-brainers. It's what lives there. Hell, in the poster for Ishgard there are 3 Lalafells in there, but I can't think of one Lalafell NPC that actually is in Ishgard.

First, second and last.

Personally, I'm just salty SE sees me playing miqo'te an Au Ra and thinks I want "cute" races, when the actual reason I play them is because they got tails and odd ears >_>

Aside from the last picture, I don't really like any of those pictures. FFXIV artwork is far more appealing to me, and maybe that is because of the cutesy waifu designs.

Slightly off topic.

About all these Miqo'Kittens (And lack of Roegadyn Kids) popping up lately, I asked back in 2014:
"There are no Roegadyn children around. You see Elezen, Hyur, Lalafell but no Roegadyn or Miqo'te."

This was a huge mistake, at the time I noticed that only Questions regarding Miqo'te were getting talked about so I included Miqo'te in the question even though I was really wondering about Roegadyn. That's the race I play and at the time there were also no Miqo'te kids.

However, My question was asked again during the first Fanfest during a lore panel with Koji Fox. There was no mention of Roegadyn children at all, the focus was towards Miqo'te only.

I noticed that we only see Midlander Hyur children. Where are the other race children?
A.) They don’t let them out! >:C No, they were just kidding. Elezen children in Gridania. More Miqo’te children in 3.0.

Roes were completely ignored
in my opinion, It really feels like Roegadyn are either hated or just forgotten a lot

Also I would like to add you can create cute/pretty looking FemRoe, Elezen, Highlanders.... in the character creator people just don't give them the time of day.
