Why Do You Play A Lalafell?

[Kakiko]

Easy-peasy. Because they're cute and I like cute things. I liked the idea of the cat girls but when I look at them I'm not all that crazy about them. Maybe I'll make an alt and play one but my main will always, I think, be lala.

Well, I played with her for a few days on an alt and just went for it. I feel a lot better getting that off my chest, guys.

Welcome to the lalafell family, Ametrine! /welcome & /hug

I really like her!

Now, I'm a bit unclear. When you wrote you played with her a few days on an alt and just went for it, did you mean you decided to level her as your new main or did you mean you used a fantasia? I'm asking because I'd like to know her name.

But really, I almost always play the smallest race in any game. I like small and cute things, and lalas match that exactly. I also continue to enjoy being a lala because whenever we get together, we have fun more easily than other races. If you've ever seen a group of lalas, you probably know what I mean.

I also like that people seem to approach my character more easily than when I play other races. Nobody bats an eye at my other characters, but people always approach me as a lala, or sometimes I'll get someone telling me how cute my character is.

I'm like that too. In WoW, I played humans for years then had the realization that none of my characters were fun. So, I created an adorable female gnome named Sparcle and took off running. Had a ball being cute yet powerful. So when I came to FFXIV, I just had to play a lalafell. Sparcle came along for the ride is one of my retainers at the moment.

It's so true that lalafell are more approachable. We also do feel like one great big family!

I honestly believe that a certain personality gravitates to lalafell. Here, we can be ourselves. The mask falls and we recognize one another as a friend. It's a fascinating phenomena which has to be experienced to really understand.

Interestingly, roegadyn have the same experiences though they seem to have a different personality type. In game, the two group of players tend get along fabulously.

I have tried different races but I always come back to Lalafell, just because they are so cute and cuddly, and yes they make me feel happy. I also suffer from social anxiety, completely useless in social situations and IRL tend to stay away from things like that. Because of my social problems I suffer from depression, so coming onto FF and playing my Lalafell helps me with that. I also feel that playing Lalafell I'm a different person online and I can truly be myself. When I've tried different races that feeling goes away and I think is the reason why I always come back to Lalafell - plus I'm really short in RL and I have an affinity to small characters :P

*nods vigorously* Yes, they make me happy to play too. There can be no doubt that playing Kacho and my other lalafell characters helps me get through my depression.

As a lalafell, we can be what we truly feel ourselves to be. It's very freeing.

I switch between races a lot but whenever I decide to Lalafall worst joke of the millennium I never feel like I need a reason. I guess it's because of how short they are? I dunno...

If you bothered to read both the subject of the thread, and the posts of the players, you'd see a group of people who love playing lalafell for a variety of pretty deep, personal reasons. Yet, you felt the need to come in here and make your "cool" putdown.

Do you feel better? Did it give you some satisfaction crapping on a thread that didn't involve you in any way?

Honestly, I don't want to hear your answer. I don't want to get into your mindset.

I rather converse with my lalafell friends, a group of people way more interesting, more caring, and more intelligent than you and the other forum trolls.

Oh! I made an alt with her and played around with her to see how it felt, so I opted to Fantasia my main to the look!

As for her name, I'm actually still waffling on that. She's still Timandra Hildegarde, but I want to give her a more fitting name, but I can't decide if I want nice and lore friendly or something goofy, like French Toast or Iced Coffee. My old one was named Snicker Doodles XD

If you go food-theme just don't pick anything potato-related D: I was Ta'ter Tots once and the puns/jokes were so bad...

Not that my current one is much better, mind. Ugh

While im not a "fan" of "Lalafels" I AM a fan of Tarutarus.

My Lala alt (who is a marauder) is called Mashed Popoto. My friend made a Lala called Popoto Salad. We have no regrets.

Whats your problem? He said his reason why he changes his race to lalafell which is exactly the question of this thread.
He said he doesnt feel like he has any particular reason but that it is probably because they are small.
You dont need a deep reason to play lalafell its a thought up race in a video game ffs.
At this point its pretty clear that his response is reasonable and yours is completely uncalled for but thats not enough you just had to follow it up with personal insults you just pull out of thin air. How would you know how interesting, caring or intelligent he is?
And the irony of your signature is just the cherry on top.

friendly, kind and cheerful;
And always be the best person I can be
in game or out."

I feel like there was a misunderstanding, I think Kacho Nacho believed "worst joke of the millennium" was referring to the race, but Fredco was talking about the pun "Lalafall" (since he "falls" from a tall race to a shorter race). Fredco's post wasn't meant to be negative and Kacho misread the post.
