Where did the Lalafell hate originate?

Gotta love the mobile site. The apostrophes screwed up and I can't edit the post. Love it.

So. Many. Typoes. AND I CAN'T EDIT IT. God my self-induced OCD loves me right now

I'm sure someones mentioned it but the desktop site works just fine on mobile phones.

Making fun of the short race goes back a long time in MMOs... Everquest may have started it, with the halfling and gnomes getting the hate. Or it maybe have come from some earlier source than that but that was the first major MMO that I can recall it happening in. Those players trickle down over the years and thus lalas get the love now

The food jokes stem from Everquest as well as all races dropped their species of meat and you could then go and craft food with said meat. Such flavor!

I highly recommend not to eat lalafells.

The origin of the lalafell race lies in dangerous place full with poisoned plants and animals. Lalafell can absorb those poisons which make them immune to it. But that makes lalafell meat toxic to other species. Did you never wonder why the round body of lalafell looks similar to a blowfish? ; )

And btw: aetherochemical combound #123 is know for its lalafell-like skin and can be found in Azys Lla. Just sayin... ... ...

Lol tell that to all of the fish and other monsters that find Lalafell a tasty snack. Course you know that doesn't count at least according to others in the thread. Just the player on player "hate".

Mostly due to certain Lalafell NPCs that have caused us more grief in story than anyone else. If you are looking for an evil villain, look at the Lalafell.

Plus we all know small people have more evil concentrated, that's why they're such good BLMs and DRKs, duh.

You can blame...
Teledji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Adeledji
Lord Dorito
and of course...
let's not forget Yuyuhase

When they saw how versatile we are

Yeah, you did

Use the desktop site on your phone. I do. I'm doing it right now!

Now I'm editing my post!

Also, I hate Lalafell.

This thread is a bit old.

IIRC that's an EN localization joke, the text is different for the other languages.

2. Lalafells have no lore whatsover. FFXI had the taru as the magical race in charge of their own nation, who were in an alliance with the mithra. Lalafells are just...there, except in Uldah.

No lore at all, just everything related to Ul'dah, Sil'dih, Belah'dia, Mhach, Nym and the war of the magi. None at all.

It's hard not to think of lalas as food when a lot of players name their lalas after food like Hash Brown. Also did you think it might be a Louisoix thing where those who play lalas aren't as trolly/rude/jerks vs the rest of the servers? You also seem to get offended at and disbelieving of others who say they notice bad behavior coming more from those who play lalafell just because you don't see it or don't see it as often.

I don't give a flying fart about the jokes, in fact I find some of them amusing... what I don't like is people who make half-baked, generalised assumptions about others, regardless of what race they play, not a fan of small mindedness I guess? I never disputed or denied that it's mostly lalas spamming obnoxious emotes, but good job trying to put words in my mouth

Generally in my experience, my main is a lala. There seem to be people believe lalas is pedos (loli etc) and we had this kind of treatment back in FF11 (as Tarutarus).

I don't know what to say apart from let everyone play whatever you want.
