Going from cat to hyur!

[Makase]

I was recently in the same predicament as you sort of... I made a thread about which one I should stick with when it came to my Hyur or Elezen (though I had been playing both since launch.), but the best advice I got in my thread, and certainly better advice then I could come up with was this:


I hope this advice can help you the same way it helped me ^.^

dang that is actually amazing advice, Ya know after some hard thought, I am going to stick with what my character is now, I dont like any of the voices on hyur and ive been catboy for half a year and enjoyed it, and ive seen plenty of badass cats around here all I need is some GLAMOR! I hope I didnt waste your guys time and thanks for the responses! it was actually a fun thread!

EDIT: also I take back what I said about tails, I cant live without my tail or ears

That quote is full of wisdom and win. It's truly entirely up to you to decide how you prefer. For example despite wanting a Miqo'te male since 1.0's launch and rumors abound they may consider adding them in eventually I still play my female one instead. I have a Miqo'te male too, and while he feels very different from my main I always find myself going back to her because she's most familiar to me. I've tried different hair colors/styles too and none of them feel the same or I suppose you might say, "comfortable" as ones I've grown to like.

OP I'd take what the quote mentioned above into consideration because at the end of the day it comes down to what you enjoy playing and not what the general population tells you.

"Chucky" race freaks me out.

No cat fetish for me.

*snip* all I need is some GLAMOR! *snip*

You'd be surprised how much just the right type of armor combination can do. I see so many people running around in flashy gear that isn't glamoured but then you've got those who glamour everything from head to toe on their character. Me for example I've glamoured nearly every piece of equipment I have in one way or another to suit my interest. You never know what piece of gear will look good with a different one either so hang onto dungeon drops, use the Try On feature often to look at certain parts, you might find one piece you really like and next thing you know you're coordinating your whole look around that piece.

Im working on making a glacial coat cause I got such a combination for it!

I get too attached to the characters as I initially created them to make big changes. When I want to play around with other races or looks, I create alts. (Then again, I like alts anyway, as it gives me a chance to repeat stuff that otherwise cannot be repeated, and I really like a lot of the early-game content.) You could do it that way. Keep your Miqo'te and play your Hyur as well.

[Ilitsa]

Whys everyone hating on the hyur side-saddle thing? I wish I could make my miqo'te sit like that, I think it's gorgeous.


On topic: It's a hard thing to come to decide, changing your race. I started as a Hyur in beta and had never really considered Miqo'te until my fiance got bored and rebuilt my character as a miqo'te in the character editor program they had released. Once I saw her, it clicked for me and I've never been able to go back, any other race just feels "wrong". As silly as it sounds, I'd step back and take a really long, hard heart to heart with yourself, think about it. because we're limited on the number of fantasias we can buy. Is hyur REALLY something you like? Or is it just a flavor of the month? Will you miss your Miqo'te persona once it's gone?

[Genesis-xyx]

Don't have time to read through the whole thread ATM so sorry if this has been said, but make an alt for your highlander to try it out before you even think about using a Fantasia, actually being able to play the character and not just look at it helps a lot. Doing so let's you experience all the sounds and movements of the character that character creation doesn't. Good luck in choosing!

I just don't like any of the hyur jaws, so I vote to stay cat.
