Do roegadyns ever celebrate a holiday?

[Ghastly]

Feels like every FFXIV holiday isn't celebrated by roegadyns in any of the art
Just want Yoshida to remember we're here

Not a big deal but it's a big deal

I was about to make a topic on this actually.
Almost every single holiday event (except for recent New Years9(Au Ra), Halloween(Au Ra) and Valentines day(Elezen<3) ) has a Miqo'te/Lalafell in the art/Main Quest NPC, although this years Moonfire faire has a Roegadyn, Elezen, and Female Highlander in it (which was amazing btw because Roe, Highlander, and Elezen are the least popular 3).














I assume Miqo'te/lalas are used due to the popularity of the races, but its honestly getting a bit too much for me. (There isn't even any Roegadyn Kids around, hell there are a few Roegadyn parents in the game with HYUR children....) With all this Miqo'te pandering shoved down our necks i'm starting to fear FFXIV will end up the same way Tera did (Elin Online).
(Also don't get me wrong I really don't hate Miqo'te or Lalalfell at all I just feel some of the unpopular race/genders should be represented a bit more)

I'm not expecting anything less from a game in which a race with demonic concept art gets turned into "moe" waifu material. If anything, I'd expect more female Au Ra in future promotion artworks - men, roegadyn, elezen and highlanders will most likely remain sidelined, because "not cute enough".

[ErryK]

Roegadyn are usually used for Moonfire Faire, and somewhat Starlight Celebration for the "Santa" factor. But that's it from what I can tell. It's either Miqo'te, Hyur or Lalafell for the rest of the celebrations because of the reasons mentioned by Zojha.

Personally though, the only holiday I can excuse for having Lalafell in it is Little Ladies' Day due to the name.

I wonder. Maybe Roe's are too busy doing other things to actually celebrate? None of the Roegadyn NPC's seem to be anything other than Workaholics, so I can't really imagine them taking a day off.

[Lukha]

This is because the only holiday Roegadyn celebrate is Subligarmas, and SE hasn't done an event for it yet.

Roegadyns would be perfect for Halloween since they're monster-like. Elezens look good as vampires as well. The Jack O'Lantern seems to be an Elezen as well.

I never did notice this discrimination against these races. Maybe since you just brought it up to light, it might change. Hopefully.

It's also noticeable that just a pretty small amount of those seasonal/holiday arts (maybe 2 at most?) have a male character as a "lead". Not that it bugs me that much but it would be nice to see a combo that's not Female Miqo'te Moon Keeper. At least make two variations of the same art or include more races and genders on it. The whole Waifu Simulator is starting to get old on this game.

I suspect it has something to do with the visual appeal of certain of the races.

On Topic;

Hulk-a-mania Day?

Kermit's Memorial?
(It isn't easy being green...)

St Byrtwastasy's day
(aka St Byrty's Day)
Complete with a parade, and green food and drink.

Green Day - might have copyright issues with band of same name....
