    I think it's just sadly a question of taste - people will inevitably prefer the more 'attractive'/cute races, hence why lalafaell and tarutaru are the most common/popular player races in FFXIV and FFXI respectively. Galka in FFXI (which roegadyn are heavily based on) suffered the same fate - forever doomed to be the least popular player race (as far as FFXI goes that info was based on past Vana'diel Censuses which use raw server statistics for data.). FFXIV I just arrived at that conclusion based on how many lalafells I see around.

    Mind you, there are several roes in my linkshell/FC so yeah, just because you don't see a lot around doesn't mean no one plays as them.

    Fun Fact: Hyur and Humes are the most common races of FFXI and FFXIV (respectively), with Miqo'te just barely beating out Hyur on the NA/EU servers. Galka/Roegadyn are, indeed, the least populace race, though.

    Doesnt the lore say something about them being scarce race anyway? or like they live in mountains somewhere and only a few come down? I always thought they looked cool as a race but I play healer classes. They just look so dumb in caster gear. Galka in Scholor garb is hilariously heinous.
