    Thoughts on the races.

    What are your takes on the available races, and would you play them?:

    Elezen: Tall people with little heads. I'm going to guess it's for snobby elitists or those who like to fantasize about the glamorous life of storybook nobility. (No)


    Lalafell: Funny and cute hobbits. Probably for people with a playful sense of humor, but also short tempers. (Yes)


    Miqo'te: Kitty, ears, tails and puns. Probably played by those who own cats or those who try to live the nekomimi stereotype. (Yes)


    Roegadyn: Ogres! Probably played by Shrek fans or who like overly masculine avatars. (No)


    Au Ra: Demons! Probably played by angry people who often argue on social media or edge lords who brood of revenge or romance drama. (No)


    Viera: Elegant amazons, for those vogue rogues. For those players who like to hop into battle with a rugged supermodel or to play out the bunnygirl stereotype. (Yes)


    Hrothgar: The mountain barbarian kitty! Often played by ether the big loveable lug or the someone who wants to play the mighty beast. (Yes)

    Hyur: Humans. There are two variants more distinct than the other races variants. The reality show teenagers and the middle aged MMA fighters. The younger ones are probably played more by the casual default human crowd, while the rugged one's probably by the DBZ & Streetfighter fans. (Yes)

    ---------------------

    My Hyur is my favorite, for casual play. But I also have a couple Miqo'te because I'm a big cat fan. And eventually plan to try a Hrothgar. :3 I tried a Veira, they are neat, I like their elegant primping postures like you see on a magazine cover. I've also played a Lalafell, they are perfect for those who have a sense of humor and there is a better chance they will be friendly players from what I've seen, though a few do tend to have that sudden explosive temper.

    Haha yeah, I'd probably play that one.
    They are quite charming and their happy animations would probably make it hard to have a bad time.

    Elezen: Chad race. Ascended above the rest of the plebian furry underclass, both physically and spiritually. Neck long to better look down upon their peers. (Yes)

    Lalafell: Always a interesting person to be around, for good or bad reasons. An instant pass to get away with posting questionable things in chats without anyone questioning it. (Yes)

    Miqo'te: Very, very rare to see a Miqo'te that looks different/cool. Always kinda cringy in cutscenes, either player character or NPCs. (No)

    Roegadyn: Big lady steppie. (Yes)

    Au Ra: No meme time - Female Au Ra generally really creep me out with their hyper-feminization in comparison to the males. Everyone I meet irl who plays fem Au Ra are always weird. Always ERPers. I've REALLY tried to get over my extreme distaste for them (see avatar) but even covered with a mask they are weird and pandering with girly, princess animations despite one of the clans being a literal war faring race. I am gonna fantasia off as soon as I get around to working on this alt. (Females : No / Males : Yes)

    Viera: Pretty nice and tall. Can't wait for bunny boys. (Yes)

    Hrothgar: Bad version of Ronso with a hunchback. (No)

    Hyur: Nice and simple. Nice animations. (Yes)

    Hyur M: Midlanders are kinda meh, but a few of the faces are OK if done well. Highlanders are where it's at though. Best race/clan combo in the game. (Yes)
    Hyur F: Except for 1 face I don't really like any of the midlander faces, not exactly sure what it is, but they all look like sad or unnerved girls, so no thanks. Highlander women look great but the playerbase usually chooses the ugly face to try and make them look more like midlanders... (Yes. Highlanders)

    Miqote M: The difference between the two aren't really distinguishing enough to me to really have a strong preference between clans. Their hands are screwed up to the point that when I did try to play one it turned me off from playing them. (No)
    Miqote F: I think the best thing I've ever seen out of these was the player who had, "This is my catgirl. There are many like her, but this one is mine." as a play on Marines and their rifles. I don't mind them, but man they are not for me. (No)

    Lalafell: Comedy race that grows tiresome to me in more serious affairs. Most gear looks bad on them. I do love petting their heads. I spent a very small amount of time as one, like 5 months or so, on an alt character. (Yes)

    Roegadyn M: Discount Galkas. Feels wrong without the tail. Reminds me of Gades from Lufia 2. Some people say Ganondorf, so him too. My first alt was a Roe for over a year. (Yes)
    Roegadyn F: Hot, Hot, HOT! The hottest ladies in game. Again though, the playerbase generally makes them look kinda bad by trying to masculinize them. (Yes)

    Elezen M: Basically taller midlanders with more likeable facial options. Their lankiness really shows in their animations though, and without a muscle slider they come off as way too skinny to me. Clan differences are barely noticeable unless grey skin. (Yes)
    Elezen F: Hard to do well, and a lot of people who play them make them look either incredibly good or incredibly ridiculous. There is no in between. (Yes)

    Au Ra M: Unga Bunga Demon Xaela or Refined, divine Fish-like Raen... they more or less come off the same. Strong dudes with girly hips that stole the cat boy run, but managed to stay away from jacked up hands. Scales are very cool. I prefer black. (Yes)
    Au Ra F: Adorable moe blobs. Run very stiff. Much better than cat girls, sorry not sorry cat girls. A little too short, honestly. But they might look really weird tall. Definitely a choice to pander to the playerbase as for why they're so short. (No)

    Viera: Hot bunny girls that practically all have the same face. Default gear shows off glorious butt. A little too sexual if you ask me. Good at being serious or funny though in cutscenes. (No)

    Hrothgar: Manthers. Cat Dads. Roe's with the level 52 Lion mask or the i110 PVP ones. The least humanoid of all the races. Very cool. (Yes)

    Honestly No, most of the races are pretty much the same but since I can't play without having to pick one, I guess outta the bunch I'd say Hrothgar and Au'Ra are interesting enough visually to play with Hrothgar winning though. I have my doubts on female hrothgar being just as creative as the males though but we'll see.

    Hyur: Boring, but okay. Usually pretty vanilla and not creepy. (Ye)

    Elezen: Master race, unparalleled by all but Au Ra. Never creepy. (Ye)

    Au Ra: Second master race, probably the best designed overall and usually not creepy. (Ye)

    Miqo'te: Fleabag degenerates, but usually not unbearable. Well, outside of the males as they tend to be cringe. (Mayhap)

    Hrothgar: Furry trash, creepy and tend to have a grooming probably. (Never)

    Viera: Second rate Elezens. (Mayhap)

    Roes: Sub Hyur trash. (Never)

    Lalafell: Either chill or cringe, creepy or pretty okay. Don't trust them. (Never)

    Hyur: They're alright lol (yah)

    Elezen: Absolutely stunning, wish males were juuuust a little less noodley but that's it. (ABSOLUTELY)

    Au Ra: Males run like Jak from Jak & Daxter, powerful strides just to travel the same amount of distance as a Lala. Females should of never been made UwU small, absolutely wild size disparity imo. (Maybe)

    Miqo'te: They're everywhere! Can't take a step anywhere without running into some half naked catboy or catgirl. Makes me appreciate the rare well dressed ones more though. (Not likely)

    Roes: Eh, not a fan of the refrigerator body shape for men, women look fine but I can't quite get the skin tone I want on either sub race. (Hard pass)

    Hrothgar: Hunched over man cats were a mistake, give me the real Ronso from FFX please. Seriously, I can't stand how hunched over they are. (Nay)

    Viera: They're fine I guess. I'll have to get a closer look at male Viera to see if they can out-pretty my male middie. (Maybe)

    Lalafell: Absolute Gremlins, I'll never get tired of their goofy little animations. (Always)
