Viera didn't blow up as big as we all thought.

How would you know they're dudes unless they tell you? Just because someone decides to dress their character like a slut doesn't automatically make the player a male.

To be fair, around 80% of female characters are played by guys anyway. So seeing "slutty" female character being a guy irl is just more common thing, because guys are more common as players in the first place. /shrugs/

Outside of this, I personally knew a girl who preferred open glamours for her female character, but still - almost every time I see female character, the player itself is developed to be a guy after some talking. It's not bad or something, it's just like how it is. I'm personally female playing male character, can't judge anybody.

Eh.. you mean Au ra are sexy and miqo's are more cute. I don'tsee miqo as sexier than au ra.... Au ra has curves and better breathing animations. Miqo'tes are just.... cute. And mostly flat in the cures department. But that's just me.

Wait a min.. we've talked before haven't we? In one of the picture threads? lol xD

We did! I was wondering why your character showers with gunblade. XD

As for the topic: I mean more emotes than body shapes. Miqo'te body language, both females and males tbh, is more open and mature as other races have (except Viera now... though I'm not sure really). And females have quite suggestive emotes which I don't really see as cute. Aside from this both Au Ra and Miqo are in the cute zone (females mostly). But that's just my feeling of course, I can't say it's a fact. For me Miqos are more sexy, and Auri are cutie waifus most of the time.

That "other race" isn't female, which a majority of active players play as, so there's zero evidence male Viera would do much if any better.

Hrothgar are fine.

/looks at male Miqo'te rates/ well... who knows. Depends mostly on how they could look, in fact. FFXIV is actually the rare game where amount of male characters isn't drastically less than amount of females (40% of males to 60% of females I think?). And something tells me that this is exactly THANKS TO possibility create an adequately looking character proportions wise, not just another-mountain-of-muscles-without-mark-of-intellect-on-the-face (which is common for MMO though some, like BnS or BDO or few others, have very decent character creators).

Hrothgars are still fine anyway, they are decently popular, considering the fact they aren't the type of style that majority would prefer (looking solely at XIVCensus rates, at least). And they are new in terms of having beast race.
