Does anyone else think they should age up the fem miqote/au ra character models?

[Zeonx]

I see the trickery in your topic OP.

First off its fictional this isn't real life, secondly its a fantasy world hence the name Final Fantasy and stop your japan comments don't sterotype people.
When you say the rest of the world don't approve who told you, that you could answer for me?

I don't think like that just because you have that frame of mind, I see japan as a lay back fun place to be while if you are from america where I am from lately all I have been seeing too much PC it is going overboard.

I love going to a place where I can kick back and have fun don't drag that nonsense into the game and ruin everything because you don't know fiction from real.

Reason I say you cannot determine whats real or fake, the characters are nothing but digital code pixels the people who play behind them probably don't think of age but rather play the game why you are putting a age on them is beyond me, because wouldn't the person behind the character who is of age lets throw a random number out like 40 you call them 10 you have no clue what you are talking about.

you cannot put a age on something that isn't real it doesn't have birthdays it don't age like real humans you need to stop mixing real life with fantasy plain and simple.

Gotta love how defensive all the miqo'tes/au ra got in this obvious bait thread lol

[NekoHina]

While I PERSONALLY would like my catgirl taller and much curvier, that is just my preference because it would be more like me. But the character model is just fine as it reflects the true size of ADULT Japanese and other East Asian women generally speaking. Ladies in their 20s can easily look like middle schoolers and they are not trying to. They have slight builds, great skin and they usually do not wear heavy makeup.

Alleging that the characters look too young and they are made that way in order to appeal to a “certain” demographic is just insulting and incorrect. Please try to correct your worldview.

I think it is a bit much to assume people that want younger looking characters are all pedos.

I think they're way too young looking and might appeal to a certain sort of "demographic", especially when you see so many dudes playing as them...

...So... Troll thread? Case closed?


OP seems to have possibly abandoned ship and moved-on to some vegan thread they made anyway... Also recognizing OP as the person who felt like sharing the possibility of the DDoSing being the result of no male Vieras.

I bet if you changed "fem miqote/au ra" to "bunnyboi" everyone's responses would be flip floped.

I think they're way too young looking and might appeal to a certain sort of "demographic", especially when you see so many dudes playing as them. Maybe they could make them all max height by default and age the faces up a little bit?

The fem au ra emotes really need some work too. They act like little girls. When you pair one of them up with other characters that are like twice their height... it just looks wrong. Makes me concerned for the younger people who are playing this game and seeing young girls sexualized like that. That might be normal in Japan, but the rest of the world isn't as cool with it.


Or at the very least, change how the skimpy gear shows on them. Like make more modest variations. They did that with Lin in Xenoblade X.

This is a FANTASY game. Why does it matter how they look? Also this game originated out of Japan ... they are all about anime cutesy things. If it bothers you so much, you might want to consider playing a new game.

If you look at the OP avatar you will understand. He or she has a teenager looking like avatar too.

[Reimmi]

Short people exist in real life, you know?
also you're comparing real life to a game with dragon, cat, and potato people.
maybe shouldn't be doing that, friend. just enjoy the game or play something else.

Having said that, more options is great! let people have older looking miqo'te/au'ra but there's no need to force things down peoples throats

[Gemina]

If it were a crime for males to even be attracted to teenagers, we'd seriously have some over crowded prisons. Many females in the 15-17 range can pass for young adults, and a moderate amount from 18 to early 20-ish still look like kids, but it's ok for adults to engage these young ladies because they are considered of age? And what's up with the height? If a 40-something female is barely pushing 5 feet she's undatable now? It is such an arbitrary and needless thing to bring up about the avatars in the game.

Many players will choose a female Miqo'te and Au ra for a myriad of reasons, and it really isn't that big of a deal if one of those reasons is to make them pleasing to the eye. Get over it OP. There are far bigger fish to fry.

[Halivel]

Uhm, for me female Miqo and Au Ra look like women in their 19-25. If it's considered as "too young" then I don't know... I am 24 and people often think that I'm under 18. Should I fix my face, doc?

As for emotes, I don't like Au Ra's emotes, but I don't think that they need rework. They are what they are. And there are a lot of players who like them in the way how they exist.

Or at the very least, change how the skimpy gear shows on them. Like make more modest variations. They did that with Lin in Xenoblade X.

Uhm. I'm sorry, but why should they? We have tones of both modest and edgy clothes in this game for both males and females. If you see players in open clothes - it means they wanted to wear them.
I am female irl and I see no issues with female clothes in FF14, it's gem in terms of glamour. If I will want to wear some open clothes on my female (or male) character - I have the full right to do it and you have no right to forbid me to do it. Stop this shit "let's wear all characters into clothes with no pixel of shown skin" already, please. Let players do what they want and wear what they want.
