Which race deserves to be the main protagonist?

[Theodric]

The current mascot is fine.

It makes sense from a lore perspective, too, since Midlanders are found in almost every major region to a notable degree. The same cannot be said of the other playable races.

We also wouldn't want to get rid of him after the massive boost his design got in Stormblood, right? :>

Whichever race invented the Warrior class deserves to be the Warrior of light, Roegadyn Hellsguards

Do we really want Curious Gorge in charge of saving Eorzea?

[Ghastly]

Yes
Personality and name doesn't define one's ability

[silverlunarfox]

Yes

And his ability is clearly....erm....missing a few screws.....

No, you don't want him as the mascot....NO

LMAO. I just discovered Curious George two days ago while I was mining on my alt. I was like "What in the seven hells is this NPC doing out here??"

To be fair, race stats matter so little past lv49 that I could see SE just flat out baseline them accross the board to effectively remove them like they did with elemental resistances based on patron deity.

That's actually a good idea, here's to hoping that something doesn't go wrong when they announce half-ling/hybrid races(chances are something will go wrong because Murphy's Law said so; like say bringing back elemental resistances outside of Eureka to make up for no race stats or tanks losing all of their strength points on their accessories or the exact opposite and give tanks full strength on their accessories and merge Direct Hit Rate and Critical Hit into 1 stat so that way stats are bit more streamlined but that would mean that the devs finally learned how to balance stats :P )
