Why so much in-game racism?

[Leifei]

Editing this bc I was basically just repeating myself over and over the past posts and it's honestly getting irritating xwx

TLDR: Yes, you're right, 100%, stop being malicious people, and don't let people feel alone when someone talks about their nasty experiences in-game \o/



imo Vieras need a lot more than what they're given in-game. The devs should focus a bit more on their new races and explore them in the First. Viera are quite mystical, it would be interesting to see how they operate within Hydealyn.

Kudos sir.

He'd left Square before, he was working as an outsider brought in. Some of the FF14 team worked on his past projects, and thus 14 has some inspiration from games like 12. Yoshida stated that Matsuno was his biggest reason for joining Square Enix to begin with, and that this was a thing he always wanted, to work alongside the guy. However, due to complications that we don't know about, Matsuno had to go and the story grew outside of what he had intended. It is indeed why we we'll never get another Ivalice game, though I can't exactly be sure whether Matsuno will return for a potential future Dalmasca content or if that whole plot got dropped.

Which frankly? It's absurd. They have other writers, surely one of them is capable of doing it justice. Plus, it's a country with volatility and continent-spanning repercussions. They can totally squeeze out an expansion's worth of content out of it if they put their minds to it.

I wanna say Japanese culture holds some level of respect for a writer's "ownership" of a their work. I say so because this situation Ive seen before with the Persona 1 and 2 writer leaving Atlus and the reason why current Atlus doesnt touch those games is because they want to leave alone the characters and story made by him rather than expanding themselves. Again, obviously this isnt the case ALL of the time in the business, but Ive also seen other cases were consent from the original creator is valued somewhat there, so it may well be that Ivalice and Bozja stories will be left as a footnote to FFXIV's lore.

An expansion's worth of BANGAA? Sir, you know how to speak to my heart! Too bad they'll never be playable T_T

I find it a shame that in game racism is so easily reportable, so long it is held in an unextreme manner.
My distate for Viera and Miqo'te in particular, I must make known, and I do so in a roleplay way. "I wish not for a lowly Viera to approach me in such frivolous fashion!"
I think it just to vent a bit against the by far most played races. When Gridanian Wildwoods can shame me for being a Duskwight, then so may I shame.

I have come across many players who find Elezen to be ugly. While I see where they come from, they should live under no illusion that I will not have my opinion about their race as well.

No one cares what your beef with other races is and nobody wants to hear about it in game. If you really have to complain about your dislike, that kind of thing is best left to a personal blog.

I think I can speak for many Viera when I say we don’t want to approach you either

I would hope and expect so.
I remember it fondly still, when in 2019, a camera drone intend on filming local wildlife dove into the canopies of the deep jungle, only to find a tribe of half naked rodents live out their frivolous rites below. I refer of course to the Viera trailer. A deep point, so far it concerns me.

I must have missed that because I was watching the documentary on humanoids with donkey ears

I understand. Pray tell, are you wealthy? Money comes in handy for certain individuals who dearly require a nose job.

I wouldn’t worry about my nose, however I do have a few millions saved to pay for your much needed butt implants, you know, so that your hips finally match the wideness of your shoulders, some aren’t naturally blessed with an hourglass shape unfortunately.
