4.1 and us Lalas

Hmm, maybe I need to lay off my Lala BF's behind a bit...



When you start taking the jokes seriously, it may be time to log off.

Jokes also aren't funny after the 1000000000th time you've heard them.

I started this thread and counted the posts until some rude tall one made a food comment. I didn't even need two hands to tick off the posts hahaha

Goes both ways though - How many posts before someone made a comment to the effect of "lalas are the perfect master race etc."?
The answer is one, and that joke is exactly as old.

Except that joke isn't insulting someone elses character the way the potato jokes and other crap that people say about Lalas. I've actually had people try to kick me from a dungeon because I was a Lala, because Lalas are 'gross and deformed'.

Its not funny anymore.

Lalas need more seasoning. they taste kinda bland.

This is sort of extraneous but just wanted to point out that it is typical of JP people call chibis SD/super deformed lol. Lalas definitely qualify as SD.

What changes are looking forward to/ hoping for? Some races need tweaks, some need major overhauls. What do you think?

We need to be able to make use of the other races as mounts.

Reading this reminds me of times when I cook live lobsters and crabs. Sounds that induce feelings of sympathy but not enough to overtake the oh-so-tasty result.

Yeah, see, this makes you sound like an awful person. Trying to be edgy?

This is just as much "hearsay" as anything. The design documents and quotes in the artbook constantly reference the idea that Lalafell are supposed to be very childlike and cute in the same way as we view baby animals to be. (That's also why some of the sexier gear options are noticably different on Lalafell models. Squick factor.)

The potato and food thing likely stems for from the flavor text in game that talks about large monsters having no issue with using the spoken races as prey, especially the physically smaller Lalafell.

It's framed to be nightmarish and revolting that these creatures would hunt innocent people, yet, English speaking forum users thought it was funny. How?

Exactly!

The food jokes were funny the first time, now it's just cringy and facepalm worthy. As, Ametrine said, it's everywhere.... In pretty much every single lalafell centered tread, we get a few posts of fun and then bam! A non lala will post something to the effects of us being food. We need a special "only lalafells can post in this thread" button because that joke is so old dinosaurs were using it.

oh come on now, lighten up. All of the races get made fun of, its just theres so many lala's you see those jokes the most! I've been every race and heard it all. You know what I did instead of get upset about it? Laugh along with it and add to it. It's all in good fun.

Personally, I just chalk it up to comedic sociopathy and move on. Some jokes just never get old for some people. Koji's translations and a Lalafell's inherent humor factor (Lalapanic for example) don't really help either.

So...question to all those that are tired of the food jokes.

Do you make the lolDRG jokes? Cause, you know...something about pots and kettles.
