Okay, so they don't welcome outsides...but yet seeing them run around the city isn't the least bit shocking? Also, you interact with Ishgardians of every standing. It's relatively safe to assume the vast majority of Ishgardians have never left Ishgardian territory so chances of them running into anyone other than Elezen and Hyur would be astronomically low. You mean to tell me some lowborn slaving away in the brune or some Highborn sitting in their lofty mansion runs into Roegadyn all the time?

That would be alot of lines to create for all those NPCs. Other than our characters, Ishgard is 100% Elezen and Hyur. Our character specifically doesn't seem to be able to interact with anyone. However, NPCs acknowledge gender.

I never said I expected them to make a story for each race and, frankly, I'm not sure where you got that idea. A simple throwaway line every now wouldn't hurt though. i.e. if player = lala, then dialogue = "Don't see many of your kind around here. I reckon a dragon would love to snack on a few of you! HA, I jest!" and so on and so forth.

Tbh I don't think this would add that much. It would be just 1 line then never brought up again. That's how this game is.

You can find the information about gods in the character creation window. Highlanders are always talking about Rhalgr. Lalafells are always talking about Nald'Thal. Limsa Lominsa is essentially a Seawolf city plus all the other people. And they have their god. I would explain the Ul'dah stuff but you'd be better off going to the Lore forum. As for Miqo'tes and Meracydia, certain items in-game have this information. But, all can be found in the Lore Forum.

Again, you misunderstood my point. Even in melting pots like America, there are those who still deeply value their heritage. They aren't afraid to integrate, but they love and respect where they or their ancestors came from. That's virtually non-existant in Eorzea as apparently no one cares where they came from. Did they ever live in separate countries to begin with or did Hydalen just think it was a neat idea to see what she could make?

Huh? People in Gridania are still salty about Duskwights, the Ixals, and Hyur vs Elezen issue.(Also see that Archer Elezen guy in the guild. Very proud of his culture). Elezens and Hyurs weren't together at first. They clashed.

Ishgard has an entire story of where they came from.

Ul'Dah is dealing with a ton of issues. Too many to list here...

Again, misunderstanding my point. The only real difference between them is one has a bubbly personality while the other barely has one at all. Neither would do or say something that would seem completely alien to anyone else. Whereas, for example, it's possible that someone used to Japanese culture would find it odd that Americans will just run around the house in their shoes.

This does happen in-game. In the Ninja questline, the NIN guy Oboro didn't know how to greet an Eorzean. He had no idea how to even wave. He could only bow. He eventually learns how to wave.

Yugiri had no idea what a Primal was. And had to learn how Eorzea worked.

Kan-E Senna makes mention of the adventure when you take her to the Churning Mists.

Lucia, needed a guide just to go to Anyx Trine because she didn't even know where she was going.

Ysayle talked about Moogles when she first saw them. There are more examples.

That's like saying a kanga is just a dress or a Turban is just a funny hat simply because you don't know any better. We hardly know anything about any of the races so it's literally impossible to say the way they dress doesn't mean anything.

No it's not. A kanga is a very culturally-specific piece of clothing. Not a tank top or panties. A kanga is equivalent to the Ixali gloves or the Vanu suits or the Fortemps Rose Shield. Something you can't just get for 200 gil at "Merchant and Mender". As I said, you can't buy a kanga at the dollar store.

99% of the Miqo'te in Forgotten Springs are hunters and unlike us adventures, most NPCs tend to wear appropriate attire. The other 1% are resting in the springs wearing bathing suits...because they're bathing. Whose to say they don't wear the hempen set while sleeping?

Can't be answered. But we KNOW that they don't where anything even related to racial gear when we see them and we never see any race sleep in undergarments.

I'll concede to that, but 1.) isn't the Forgotten Springs Miqo'te tribe one of many? I'm not trying to make a point. I'm genuinely asking.

Sure. But they don't matter because they don't exist right now.

So, remind me, what's the excuse for Rowena's employees again?

They are poor, may have or may have not been orphaned, or owe her money(can't pay because poor). Rowena is giving them a job

What's your point? They're in the minority so their voice doesn't matter. The community rep specifically asked for feedback from both sides. They didn't say "okay, side with the most support wins! FIGHT!" If that's how you feel then I hope you never have an opinion in the minority on these forums.

Just saying. Your statement made it out like the general conclusion(to me) was to keep it locked and it isn't. So was just stating the facts.
