I love the hell out of tarus/lalas (and the people who play em too since they don't think too much of themselves to be the tinniest l'il guys around) but since FFXI, I've come to value PvP above all else. Loved being a galka (mnk) back in 11 because of the punishment it could take in matches and wanted that same feeling/visual aspect here. Kinda wanted to change it up a bit though for something I wouldn't mind staring at 18 hours a day. Was still playing 11 for most of 1.0 and by the time ARR's details were starting to trickle out, I was leaning toward a Duskwight Elv. Maybe it was just the hairstyles back then or the graceful/womanly form (not a bad thing, I'm just wierd) but for me taste, came off as juust a tad too elegant. I wanted something that looked like it could take a solid hit, get knocked down, shake it off, then lunge back. Stumbled accross female Roes on youtube by accident..and the rest is history. >
