Hmm so my favorite race is actually lala, and its what Ive been for the longest time. I recently been phantasia-ing to other races (was a Fem roe a few weeks ago and now a male Aura) just for fun since the phantasia's are on sale and yeah, the weird aspect is some players do engage with you differently. Even had some FC members straight up tell me "Just stay this, or anything, as long as you dont go back to Lala." Now I dont think it's something to do with being perverse, I just think people dont actually like the lalafell look and model. And to some sentiment, I share that feeling. The in game model is a bit...odd, from a design aesthetic. I overall like the 'feel' of lalafells, but the look is a bit janky, and when I do my own fan art, I do modify the design a bit. As an example:



From my personal perspective, if the design was closer to what I did (and yes, Ill admit some bias), youd probably have more people be on board with Lalas rather than their current iteration. But that could be just me. I know plenty of people who are a-ok with how the design is now, and I will admit from a game point of view, Lala's are a bit different from the "Short dwarf/gnome" races we typically see in MMOs.
