Why are lalafel never cast as hero?

[Lirion]

What are you talking about? Lalas got the most bad ass dude. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRd9PGmAQUE

[Mamba]

I dunno, I think I missed the memo about Tarutarus and Lalafels, why should we have the child-looking characters as heros again?
There is a reason I prefer James Bond over SpyKids

:P

Because lalafell are not real people and therefor it is ok to do bad things to them. I also believe that those who play lalafell are often either young children or pedophiles. If i were a law enforcement officer, i would investigate all players who have lalafell characters.



PLEASE NOTE THE USE OF HYPERBOLE AS AN ALLITERATIVE DEVICE. I have to notate my posts now because people keep reporting me for obvious sarcasm and satire.

Here's a tip, sarcasm doesn't translate well in text. A little something called Poe's Law.

Can't wait for the thread "Why SE gives no love to Monk and Dragoon in the End of an Era?"

You've just got inceptioned.

This thread is sort of funny to me, for a couple of reasons:

First off, Square-Enix created the Taru and Lalafel races. They can do whatever they want with them, which happens to be the mage race. Furthermore, there is not a serious bone in the body of their design, they are meant to be cute (Let's be honest here). Because you think they can be bad ass doesn't mean the rest of the world is going to take it serious when they go on some sort of killing rampage. I find the Hyur depicted in the cut scene FAR from "meh". It's much more impacting when someone who actually fills out the armor they're wearing does very actuated motions due to their physical form and it's much more compelling to watch. Can you say the same about Lalafel?

Second, why are people even complaining about this as if it's some sort of equal rights movement? You're playing a race they designed lore wise to fit the stereotype that you are fighting against. It's not like you guys were born Taru in real life and they're depicting you like a racist stereotype. Of course, there will ALWAYS be exceptions, as stereotypes are only a generalization.

That's right. Robel-Akbel was no joke. The man jumps up in the air & does a crazy Rasengan looking spell at one point during the Windhurst WotG storyline lol. Serious Business.

Shanttoto was cool and all... But if you want a total bad ass, no nonsense Taru/Lala, look no further than the Warlock Warlord here.

Because the average gamer doesn't relate with a tiny child. If they wanted to promote to children, that would be one way to do it. The "business" average gamer is male and 20-30. It's why most games have the hero a male 20-30. I don't necessarily agree with it, but here I am a 25 year old male gamer, so eh.
