change to a LALA???

You MUST become a female Hyur Highlander.

Because DREDLOCKZ.

In the new world...Miqo'te will be our mounts.

I switched a Lalafell and enjoy it quite a bit, but you have to evaluate what is important to you aesthetically first. If looking "cool" is important to you insofar that you like the way armor looks on a typical humanoid figure and this is important for you, you may not like lalafell. Things that look awesome on the other races not so much on lalafell, and vice versa on other things. For me, I like to emote and just the animations in general of lalafell. Their walk is awesome, their emotes are great...

... but secretly, I like being able to perch on things that would just look stupid w/ bigger characters. I like sitting in peoples crafting stove pots, on random signs in cities, and other things like that >_>.

Being a Lala is awesome. When I got my veteran reward phantasia i tried switching to Hyur and lasted about 4 days before asking for an item restoration. We can do anything and wear anything and we will look adorable. You can spam emote and everyone will love you, you can run in circles around other people, poking people brings a smile to their face, you can comfortably fit anywhere and if you find another lala... the game just gets 100x better with a full Lala party.Plus, Lalatanks are literally the best.
This my Moqi sitting on a sign in Ul'Dah. It would look pretty stupid were it any other race, right? Sitting on a sign, what is up with that. But me? You just want to smother me with cuddles.

That's him again, wondering how you're still a cat. Come join the party!

[Niqote]

I understand the appeal of cuteness that the Lalas have, thier adorable little faces... just want to squish hug them all!

If I were you, I would use 1 potion to switch and play a Lala till it was out of my system... then I would use another potion and go running back to glorious beautiful Miqo'te - where my H.Allagan Healing Thigh boots are given the respect they deserve.

Glorious boots...

Lalas are the Gingers of FFXIV! They have no Souls! They are the source of all evil in Eorzea! Also beware of Lalas taking Up-Skirt Shots!

[DragonSlayer45]

Why would you join the bottom of the food chain?

[Aethaeryn]

She's elezen female now, but I had a lot of fun as a lalafell. I'm making another lalafell as soon as Hyperion opens up for new characters... hopefully after maintenance.

[Felwaffles]

Don't do it. You'll hate yourself

[Surian]

There's nothing wrong with being a Lalafell, just realize that you'll be sacrificing the supreme goodness that is the miqo'te race and all of its magnificent... um... stats... in exchange for walking around a little chubby, too short to see anything, and people asuming you are 10.

(In all seriousness, make an alt and try it out. I like my character too much to ever change him, but i guess i have a background from diffirent games where characters arent disposed when a new skillset build is found to be 0.3% more effective)
