Blame Squeenix for why we all play as Miqo'te

[DarkChild]

Out of the four races the Miqo'te is the only one most people will bother with.

In a fantasy world picking the human type race is boring.
In a fantasy world full of beauty the Hulk type race with its colossal arms is ugly.
In the real world - Men in western society are desperate not to be mistaken for a pedophile so lalafel is out of the question.
In the real world there are many cat lovers. In FF14 the Miqo'te look good as so many different classes. They have so many different personalities. How could you pick anything else?



It seems to me that Squeenix wanted everyone to pick Miqo'te. Point the finger at them not us.

Don't hate the player, hate the developer.

Edit: I totally forgot that there are Elves in this game. They are a rarer sight that my level 30 White Mage's Unicorn!

I'm probably changing to Au Ra at the expansion, fwiw.

One less catgirl running around~

One Au Ra more running around
Not really better ^^

like 70% of the community will probably do, including me, Au Ra is going to be the new to go race.

In a fantasy world, tails clip lazily through clothing and armor.

Besides, the male miqo'te are having trouble pointing their fingers at all, because their hands are all contorted and cramped.

Wait, what? I'm a Miqo'te? Pretty sure I selected Elezen during character creation ...

4 out of 6 posters disagree. Statistically, you must be a Miqo'te.

Also I'm probably going to switch to Au Ra.

I am testing the looks and walking and everything I can out of the Au Ra before I pop my fantasia.

Though I am also changing due to that it being a fresh look, I used to be elvaan in FFXI and here because cat guys run better than elezen males not like a stick figure.

once I see if Au Ra works out perfect that is going to be my main race. If it don't im sticking to this.

Miqo'te have the best run and walk animations.

This. I tried Elezen, Highlander, Roegadyn (Male & Female) and they just move incredibly awkwardly for me. Midlanders don't have aggressive/expressive enough body posture for me so they're out too...

Lalafell are fun but they're sooo short that unless I was hanging out with other Lalafell friends it was like half my emotes/gear went unnoticed (even by me) so I keep going back to Miqo'te because it checks all the boxes.
