What is the best race...

[Vav2021]

... and why is it Roegadyn?

Seriously though, which race is the best, and why?

[solitonmedic]

Neither race. It all depends on your own personal aesthetics.

Also, hyurs. Because we're the main face of the game, after all.

Personally I have a slight bias for Viera. But if I could say what races I think is better.... well I have no preference.

- Female Roegadyn are cool, though not a lot of players play them, I myself have been getting the urge to play as one again. Male Roegadyn.... don't like as much as the females unfortunately. I don't know why, but their male counterparts don't appeal to me whatsoever aside from body type, it's most likely the face options... probably.
-Miqo'te are the go to race since they look good in a lot of glamour options, and the vast majority of the player base plays them for this reason.
-Au Ra females fit into the looks good in almost everything except for certain helmets, same as male Au Ra.. sort of. Auri males have to deal with their guitar body shape and their running cycle which is... odd.
-Lalafells are okay, they pretty much look good in cute glamours both male and female.
-Hrothgars are cool, though I have no intentions of playing one until their hair situation gets fixed and the addition of their female counterparts.
-Hyurs both male and female are default but I prefer the highlander variations of them than the midlander.
- And then there's Elezen... love them when they stand still, not so much when they move. Their run cycle hurts me.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to how many glamours does your character look good in, since glamour is the true end game!

Bangaa. Every time I see an Au Ra I'm a little sadden at what could have been... Except Magnai one day he'll find his girl.

Thighlander. The females in particular look badass. Especially in RPR, DRG, and DRK gear.

Elezen, because we are rare and beautiful

I don't believe there is a best, because everyone has their favorites. I'm Team Hrothgar all the way, myself, and have been since they were announced. But I understand the very valid reasons others do not share that view. Heh. And as much as I have a natural desire to share a viewpoint, there is also something kinda cool about playing a race that is rarer in the community.

For guys, Highlander and Hrothgar.
For girls, Au ra and Lala's!
