Midlander's my perspective

[DiamondOrion]

Hi, I am Zexy Diamond and I have been playing midlander ever since i started playing. I picked the Midlander female because i felt like they were the most beautiful (over all) of the females. Yes, the cats are very pretty and faces are the most beautiful and their eyes are amazing but their tails takes away from their overall beauty. I say this because in our own evolution it is said we had tails but it was naturally selected away because the males preferred the females without tails to breed with. If this is to be true then why don't males, who play our game pick the midlander's to be and watch play? Also i was wondering why the Midlander are portrayed as the most poor of the races on FFXIV? Only Minifilia stands out as true beautiful wealthy midlander all others are poor and destitute.

You should have done more quests then, there are plenty of wealthy midlanders around. You also probably forgot about Rowena. She could buy you and your FC with whatever she's carrying in her pockets at that time.

Did you have more issues with the NN, btw?

While I agree that midlander females are very pretty, Au Ra and Miqo'te women have more "desirable" proportions. The cat ears and tails are cute, and also a lot of people want to play something fantastical in a fantasy game.

As for midlander females being portrayed as poor, there are plenty of wealthy hyurs- one of the most powerful and wealthy people in all of Aldenard is Rowena, a female midlander. There are also plenty of other rich midlanders. The reason you might think there are a lot of poor midlanders is because they make up the majority of the population, lore-wise.

Minifilia isn't a midlander, just wanted to point this out, she's a highlander but has the model of a midlander because they didn't have models for highlanders at the time of her being made.

Personally I would like to know more about the lala's, Au'Ra's, Miqo'te, even the Roe as they seem to not be "human" hyur are just hyur, elezen aren't known much about but they're just your standard elves. One of these days I need to dig up more lore on those races, beyond what's given in game.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For example I find Au Ra females to be the most beautiful race.

I actually find Au Ra females to be the most beautiful race, but like you I don't favor having a tail. Midlanders are also quite beautiful, and while most prefer the sexy proportions of the Highlanders, I am quite happy being the smaller, more feminine version of the two. I wouldn't ever fantasia to another race or gender.

Like the others have mentioned, you really need to meet Rowena if you haven't yet. Not only is she gorgeous, she is crazy wealthy and all business. There are other Midlander NPCs not living in poverty. They just don't stand out as much as Rowena does. Lore wise, Gridania/Black Shroud houses the highest population of Midlander's, and I believe it's because we prefer a more simple farm-like lifestyle.

FEM ROEs are the most beautiful.

Easy to remember lore guide.

Miqo'te = cats
Au'Ra's = rats
Hyur = skanks
LaLa = potatoes
Elezen = no one cares
ROE = awesome

you are so right i didn't think about Rowena .. problems no I don't get on the novice network unless it's to make an announcement .. mostly i use my alt's to test the waters if they are kicked then i know my main shouldn't log on there.

I disagree, Miquote can have slightly bigger breasts, but bust size is a matter of proportion, not bigger is better, and butts are kinda smallish across the races.

and I believe it's because we prefer a more simple farm-like lifestyle.

No more than any other race, according to the lore I read. My midlander is an Ul'dah city girl turned adventurer.
