New Race Fairy

[NinjaTaru72]

I'm playing a Miqote not a "Catboy". I'm not into that weeaboo bullshit.

Your a cat, telling other people to go play a cat game. Lol.

The Miqo'te being cat-like is to fulfill the niche of a "furry" race, and the characters appear more nubile than the "human" race.

Technically speaking, we have two and a half tall options (Elezen, Roe, male Au Ra), two animal/monster options (Miqo'te and Au Ra), two big and tough options (Roe and Highlander Hyur), and two regular build options (Miqo'te, female Au Ra, and Midlander Hyur), if you take into account the overlap.

We only have one cute or short race, the Lalafell. So, that seems the most logical option to go if SE chooses to add more in a future expansion is to add to either or both of these options.

Whether that's the Moe style Viera looking race, an adaptation of dwarves, lilties, or something new. Lalafell are really popular in all regions, but fairies are simply not right for their alternative.

I'm not opposed, but I would need a serious solution to how glamour would work on a tiny fairy, and if the solution is to make the fairy bigger, i think that kills the point of having a fairy in the first place.

It's an interesting idea. After all, we only have one small race to choose.

However, it would require a tremendous amount of work to adapt all of the existing gear for them to wear. Unless, of course, the devs take the route that gear are invisible on fairies, with the exception of certain gear especially made for them.

Let's see... they would be need to be less luminous than Eos or Selene so you could make out their character model better. The race could be androgynous like lalafell, meaning the male & female bodies would share the same model. There would need to be different hairstyles for boys and girls; as well as, different facial options. Yes, I can see this working. I'd like to see fairie added to the game.

A trait of the cute and small viera inspired concept was that they had a pear shaped body, which would've possibly meant that that could that they could barrow the gear models made for Lalafellian characters, shrinking this daunting task.

It's a bummer to realize the further into the game we get, the less likely we are to get a new race...

[Kazrah]

As much as I'm for more smaller races, I think fairies are best left to Nymian/Scholar lore, where future storylines for that job could involve more detail for them.

Also don't think we need another "cute" shorter race since Lalafell already takes that position, nor do we need a shorter race as small as Lalafell either.

That's only their king. It's like in FFXIV v1.0 male miqo'te were nowhere to be played because they're supposed to stay home and mostly a minority.

"That's only their king" You're acting as if he's not a dude and fairy himself. But OK.

[Alleo]

Wait another cute race beside the Lalafell? Does that mean that they would be a serious competition for being the new master race? °L°

Well to be fair(y) (lol puns) a male fairy is only born every so many hundreds of years, replacing the current king.

If another somehow born early, the woman kill him
But in an event of twins, when they make it to maturity, they fight to the death.


(please note this is me making things up as far as I know lol)

It fairies are added that would be the only cute race. Lalafell never were.
