Do roegadyns ever celebrate a holiday?

Hmm I was actually thinking that when Hyurs appear in artwork, more often than not they are Midlanders. I considered for a second that with Stormblood we would see more Highlander artwork but... *looks at how HW's artwork has barely any Elezen on it* ... maybe i shouldn't get my hopes up.

Thank you for crunching the numbers for us. I am admitedly too lazy for it (would also have to spend hours googling for the artwork and collecting it all).

Your analysis does confirm my previous statement that they cater to the majority.

Now, lets say they have artwork for 10 events each year(random number). Is it too much to ask for them to cycle through the 6 races as the prominent one? I understand cat girls love looking at themselves 24/7, but what about the other races? As it has been brought out previously some people play a race but they do appreciate the aesthetics of other races, even if they don't see themselves playing them or they can't design a character from that other race that they like (i personally struggle awfully with making cute Lalas and Elezen and I have spent hours on benchmark. I can't make one that suits my tastes for the life of me, although I have seen that it is possible).

So if you take into consideration that the players have interest on the race they play + other races or in other words that one's taste for certain aesthetics is not stricly bound to the race they play wouldn't that even things out a bit? (Granted i'm not expecting Roes to ever be up there popularity wise).

You mentioned that you agreed that having a Roe as Santa would make sense and it would be acceptable since it is faithful to the theme and it makes sense. Now lets say we kept the artwork the same and just changed the person who is handing out the gifts. If you have done the repeatable quests you will learn that the Starlight event actually comes from Ishgard, where Elezen and Hyurs live. Why couldn't they have used that as an excuse to have an Elezen or Hyur as the main focus? Yes, you would have 3 Elezen in that artwork but for once I think that would be okay. I see cats ingame all the time. I see cats in the artwork all the time too. Couldn't they just spice things up a bit, for once?!

Heck, give me a Godbert in a tutu artwork for Little Lady's day. Please don't tell Julyan I said that.

ninja edit: i was going to use the argument of "it's just artwork" as well but then i would have to argue that it can be used against this whole topic and I can't be bothered to type even more >.<
