Racial Imbalance Within Eorzea

[JunkhogMakison]

Specifically when it comes to the story.

So let's see we have....1 Roe man, Gosetsu who had a role but now is "on a pilgrimage" which is essentially the nice way of saying "get lost noone likes you" Then we have Momma Limsa Roe lady thats 1 Fem Roe whom again had all this potential but was relegated to the sidelines just to look cute.

And pretty much everyone else is a human or a cat or a potate or a not elf cause apparently some humans just have ears so pointy they can be certified life sized hole punchers.

And of course we got Shadowbringers coming up which had 1 plot important Hrothgar in the trailer and barely any Viera.

Now I could be my usual self and say "Gahh where my Roe MEN I need my MEAT SQUARE ENIX" and while I still hold true to that, seriously we need more Male Roes in everything, I actually took a hard look and honestly, other races arent really paid that much attention to.

Usually its humans, lalas, miqs, and maybe an elf dude but thats about it. Rarely do we see any elf ladies or Au Ra or heck we dont even see Fem Roes all that much.

I mean theres Biggs from the Cid squad and while hes someone I wanna love and protect with my life he doesn't really add anything to the overall general plot as hes to busy prepping for Cid and Neros wedding in the Deltascape.

All joking aside, I'm honestly tired of seeing the basic races take over the plot. I mean for real their bringing the Stormblood girl back because heaven forbid a viera or a Hrothgar actually leas the plot for once.

Male Miqo'te had to wait until stormblood before there was one of us in the MSQ.

CT story starred a Male Miqo'te if I recall correctly. Maybe he will make an appearance since CT is going to take part in ShB.

G'raha will be the first main male miqo'te NPC, important to the MSQ. Until now male miqo'tes were the one race/gender that has never appeared as a main NPC. We even have main NPC garleans, and not the evil ones good one, Cid and Lucia.

There are 3 male Miqo'te in the ARR MSQ around the Titan storyline in a desert settlement (2 young and 1 old guy)

I meant like as a recurring character. That guy that sits in the rising stones who appears in the background sometimes whenever the scion B team is on screen..

While there may have been some male miqo'te sprinkled about, none have really had any importance to us aside from "hey here is some info, use it as you will". ShB looks like it'll be the first storyline to have a main character be a male miqo'te. And while it's not "confirmed" it looks to be G'raha Tia, who is a fan favorite. So this will be a happy reunion.

You know what's sad, for that reason I sometimes even forget Male Miqs even exist. I never see them most of the time it's the fem miqs.

Oh, the guy from the Lakshmi topic.

There are plenty of races present in the story. If you're going to count certain sets of unimportant characters, you've got to count them all. Any time we're dealing with Limsa, we're dealing largely with Roes and Hyurs. Any time we're dealing with Gridania, Elezen and Mi'qote, and a few Hyurs. Any time we're dealing with Ul'dah, it's largely Lalas and Hyurs, with a few Miq'ote due to the U tribe living in the Sagoli Desert.

Ishgard is pretty much entirely Elezen. The Azim Steppes in SB are entirely Au'ra due to that being where the tribes live. Kugane and Yanxia, obviously (including Gosetsu btw) are mostly Hyurs with a mixture of all races in the case of the Confederacy. Au'ra also show up prominently in the Doman areas overall because -- well, they live there. Gyr Arbania is a good mix of Hyurs, Miq'ote and Roes, as well.

It's just that the Scions themselves have very few prominent Roes. We have Hoary Boulder for the most part, and his younger brother. Then you have the various Job and Class guildmasters who end up roped into things, too.

Now then, let's not let this turn out like the Lakshmi topic lol.

Hoary Boulder? Grynewaht?
