Blame Squeenix for why we all play as Miqo'te

[Cyrus-Wallace]

Unfortunately, their faces and running animations are both atrocious

While I find the Miqo'te race "cute", I find the female highlanders really STRONG, beautiful and feminine. With the plus that their appearance is really warrior-like. That's why I said that the highlanders are pretty much the Final Fantasy's saiyans, lol. I have a concept for this kind of stuff, and in a very personal opinion, because you know... opinions ain't facts, it really bothers me to see a puny Miqo'te or a girly-princess-like (midlander) Hyur trying to play a paladin/warrior role. It drives me nuts. HOW CAN YOU EVEN LIFT THAT AXE, MANG?! Yeah, I'm a roleplayer, and even though we "live" in a fantasy world, these things bother me... a lot. I love to wear heavy armors, I'm completely against bikini sets because of the same reason so yeah, if I'm going to take hits, my body must be ready for that.


PD: Lalas are still adorable and I love them all. They are the true master race. Whenever I see a little lala Paladin, even though I think it's super squishy, I picture a kid trying to hold a sword to impress their parents. It's so adorable!

Roegadyn[...] I still don't like their walk cycle. They look like clumsy giants instead of powerful and proud beings. Their only strong points is taken away by once again, animation and bad execution.

I feel we where hurt the most by the loss of 1.0's momentum animations.
Back then, you could really see the weight being adjusted when you made a sharp turn. Now it just kinda look mechanical and a little cheap.

I play a Miqo'te because I LIKE the race. I didn't want to play a boring Human, but Lalafells are too... puntable, and I toyed with an Elezen a bit because I like Elf type races as well, but they are too... disproportionate in my opinion. The only other race I seriously considered was a Roegadyn (in fact, I have a Roe alt). But Mio'te was the one that appealed to me most, and even after playing around with the other races I didn't find one I liked better. It has nothing to do with visual effects, weird cat girl fetishes, or whatever, I simply liked it the best. My go-to races in tabletop and LARP (given the option) are cat-people or Elves, so seeing as the Elezen look weird to me, I went Miqo'te. Everyone has their preference, and it's not our fault you chose wrong

Honestly, I don't know why people keep whining about it anyway. It's not like having an over-population of Miqo'te effects your gameplay in anyway.

I approve this message.

Badass maybe.

Kratos? Is that you???

I'm joking but I wonder if anyone has used the character creator in this game to make a perfect Kratos yet.

Let me snoop into my files real quick. I think I had found something neat and close.

Yea I'm gonna have to agree with this guy, roe's are badasses, both male and female.

I love my Elezen char, don't get me wrong. But that running animation..... yeesh. I would definitely be the last person picked in dodgeball.

I dunno, Midlander females with their 'girly run' are up there too.
