As a minority, is it out of the question to hope for representation?

why do some people care so much about whether some dumb artwork for an event contains their race or not?
You're here to play the game,arent you? Log into the game and you can stare at your femroe all day.

Also, from what I know, femroes and catboys didnt even exist in 1.0 and were solely added because part of the player base asked for them.


Also: dont try the "but youre a miqote and miqote are presented everywhere" card on me. I dont give a flying f*** about it. Tbh,i find most FFXIV artwork to be mediocre at best compared to some other games.

Weren't you the one trying hard to defend Elezen and how they look in a "Why does no one play Elezen" topic, and here you are, now a cat...
So I dunno why you're lashing out at Clethoria. I find Roe woman beautiful. I want to see more fanart or art in general with them.
One does get weary of seeing cats upon cats in so much art so I do wish they changed it up a bit.
I like to see more art in general besides Miqote's. They are everywhere!

I fantasia and change race every now and then. What does your statement have to do with mine?`

I love how elezen faces look, but sometimes the small head to broad shoulder ratio becomes too much for me so I change. Which is also the one thing I keep saying whenever theres a topic about elezen.
So basically, NO, I am not one of those trying hard to defend Elezen the way they are because i criticize some of their features.


I also wanna clarify that I am not against femroes on artwork or anything. I honestly dont care. I just think its silly to make a post about it to complain.
You dont play the game cos of some artwork,do you? (general question, not pointing specifically at *YOU*)

The first response was because you were talking about Elezen and you obviously cared about how they look and the topic no one really played them much
on how they look...Well, same thing here, people just want a little more love to their Races. Whether for you Elezen proportions, and Roes, more exposure in art.
No one in that topic was attacking you or cursing about it...I just don't know why your post came off kinda aggressive.
People play Femroes or Maleroes and would like to see them in more artwork. It may be silly for you but
this is a forum and there's no harm in discussing or asking for more art for other races.
I don't know why you and Kling are confused by such as seen below.

Yeah but I still dont get the deal about it.

You had Moenbryda.

I would be honored to have a character as awesome as her in my race.

[Mirateski]

Had. For like, a patch and a half.

Admittedly, amongst the main characters there is some serious race imbalance. Two highlander girls (who look like midlanders, although I understand why), one midlander dude, two female lalas, one male lala, one female miqo, no male miqos, one elezen dude, no elezen ladies, (two elezen teens), no au ra of any kind.

And the male lala and one of the highlanders are dead, or as good as in Minfilia's case. Yugiri goes some way to address the balance for au ra, but if we're counting minor characters we have lots more hyur to consider in the domans. And lhaminn I suppose. (I want hoary and coultenet to have a bigger part, damn it)

And part of the issue isn't an unbalanced rep, since hyur are notably more common in eorzea than any other race according to the lore census, so I guess that makes sense. It's that their go-to for sexy is miqo/midlander girl, and their go-to for "not sexy" is a roe dude or a lala of some gender. The valentione's stuff is an exception by nature of its lore, but I want sexy roes and non-sexy ladies! (Or non-sexualised, anyway)

And yes, the calender is amazing for this. Especially Reyner who appears to have a huge crush on literally everyone except R'ashaht. Bless.

We. Need. More. ROES!

I can't say this enough. Roegadyn are the best race in the game and also the most underrepresented!

I dont understand why it is such a big deal what race is in these artworks. For me it matters 0 what is drawn there but the rewards for the events.

If you didn't really care, why'd you post? :think:

Anyways, it's August!
