Convinving a friend to Fantasia into a Female Roegadyn

[Driavna]

I like Femroe a lot too but, the running thing seems bias, I think everyone has their own opinion on running.

They run in a unnecessary and unnatural femenine way for a supposed adventurer, but thats the whole point of female midlanders.

Anyway, nothing beat those brick shape body of all female races in this game... that alone ruin all the supposed "sexy" outfit in this game.

So, ähm... YOU are playing what YOU want, she is currently playing what she wants... but she has to be convinced to change for it to appeal to you...?

I mean, FemRoes are great and everyone should be one (no, actually not, I like being a special snowflake) but convincing a friend to change character by showing her boob-pictures seems... weird and semi-uncool? If she likes her character, leave her alone and let her enjoy the game the way she wants it...

Since this was salty, hello, OP's friend here. /o/
I love using fantasias to race swap but always come back to Highlander just for underboob reasons and was curious about fem Roe.
I just didn't know if they had better smut gear so I was a little put off to pop a fantasia for another race change so I asked if he knew of any good Roe glams.

Okay then!
Sorry, his wording there wasnt the best!
(and as I explained I had my own experience with people pushing you around to change your character... sorry if I was coming off rude, I guess you are just not attached to your character then as a lot of us probably are - which is fine, ofc though!)


Roes actually dont get that much of a special glamour that is eh... that revealing - but having a look into the Show your Roe thread might give you a good idea how great FemRoes can look!
I consider them a tricky race - a lot of face options are simply a no-go and getting that just right can be a challenge! You'll also find that a lot of the more female clothes (like the belly-dancer set for example) arent looking that good on them because they're more build for some nice armor. If you are personally toying with that idea, I can honestly recommend Roes if you have a thing for strong women! I'm very pleased with my Roe even if it limits your options when it comes to glamour a little.
Since I prefer my character more properly dressed, I cant give you much advice on skimpy clothes though, sorry ;D
(still: the Hildibrandset has a certain appeal when worn by a Roe, I could imagine *cough*)

I think my best advice would be to make a Roe-alt and take a stroll to the market board and have some friends link you your favorite items, so you can try them on and see for yourself if you like it or not!
If only ONE piece of clothing is holding you off to go FemRoe... I'd say: Go for it! I "cant" wear my favorite coat (the PvP bard-bird one) anymore because it looked so much better on my elezen but I dont think I'll ever go back just because of this one piece of clothing.

The problem with FemRoe is that we have a very big upper body, including our bust which is the largest of all the races.
If your friend goes max boobs then keep in mind there is a lot of weird clipping that can happen.


Because we have such a big upper body it makes our lower body seem rather flat


you can fix this with skirts however and some lower body gear does make your arse a bit rounder as well.


Keep in mind, although it does appear that our lower body is smaller, it is actually much larger than the other races and this comes with problems of its own.

Because our butts and thighs are bigger than other races there is really bad clipping issues.





To make matters worse, when new gear comes out resizing of that gears mesh tends to be a bit sloppy and inconsistent and they make the gear much much larger on us than normal. And with Mesh inconsistencies come Model Deformities, which is also seen on us especially around our inner thighs.
It makes coming up with glamour very frustrating when only a few pieces of gear looks nice and are shaped normally on our bodies.





The biggest offenders of this issue are boots, they are almost always comicly large on our feet compared to other races.


Which is sad because with a small mesh fix they can look pretty normal...


FemRoe is a beautiful and amazing race to play and I would never swap to any other, but sadly it comes with a huge graphical price. If your Friend wants to try it out she should come with a warning, we are extremely unloved by the devteam and a lot of the FFXIV community who prefer to play races like Miqo'te and Hyur.

I have a few Albums your friend can browse, i'll post the links at the bottom:

Don't convince her to change or she might not want to play anymore. Don't try to make people change to something they don't care about.

Female roes aren't really attractive compared to the other races. Especially if you're going for cute. I wouldn't be caught dead as one.

That's subjective, really. I never cared much for "cute." It seems like that's what a lot of players aim for. Some prefer "beauty," which could be found in Roes, Highlanders and Elezen. I'd say the same about Midlander face 4, but players are overwhelmingly choosing 5 to notice it.

In coming mass hate.

Oh, come on, now

This was very informative! Thanks a whole bunch!

a form I can truly appreciate is the Female Roegadyn, I mean what's not to love?

I can appreciate the male form as well, it's all about the appreciation!

IMHO, FemRoes are one of the least attractive races currently in game, ranking just above Ixali and far below Kobolds and Elezen. But just my opinion of course. :P

They like their race, so let them play what they want, yeh? I mean, if you want a femroe, you could make your own.
