Delete Hyurs

[Midareyukki]

I mean, it's called Final Fantasy. Not Final "Real Life".

Why do we have Hyurs? What's with you guys designing fantasy worlds and thinking we want to play boring humans, all bland and featureless? For an anime-esque game, this is frankly disappointing! I've seen squids with more personality and facial expressions in real life than Hyurs. What even is this, a pale attempt to mimic a human being? Step it up, please.

It's not like they have any personality, really. Miqo'te? Expressive. Au Ra? Creative. Viera? Mystical. Roegadyn? Different, I dig it, we need stuff that takes a spin on being human. Lalafell? It just screams "fantasy". Hrothgar? Top. Notch. An actual animal race, that's as anime fantasy as it could get.

Hell, even Elezen, who are bland as all hell, are a higher effort than this. Frankly just replace Hyurs with Elezen, at least they look different enough to pass for a fantasy setting. No one would notice.

I'd LIKE to sing praises to Highlander Hyurs, but let's be honest, the lack of eyebrows just makes it worse! Kudos for trying to make a human with some oomph to it, but it's still a letdown. When Lyse literally is a Midlander pretending to be a Highlander you just KNOW that the game failed to make anything meaningful with the race. They're all so bland that you could replace one with the other and no one would notice!! THAT'S how bland and boring, insipid and uninspired Hyurs are!

Though on second thought, you can go ahead and rework Miqo'te and Viera. They're literally just Hyurs with cat and rabbit ears, what do they have?? That's almost an insult to Hyurs if they weren't already an insult to themselves with how bland they are. Really, their designs are too early 2000's, they reek of FF11 and FF12. It's FF14, and we can do better, come on Square. You made Burmecians, you made the Qu, you made playable Black Mages and they're just cute Veigar, you made Bangaa and you made Seeq. Miqo'te and Viera, while interesting designs on their own, really are just as bland as Hyurs. They're like those real life humans with custom animal-ear headphones.

And Au Ra, don't think I don't see you guys in the corner. You shook up the formula by being leaner, meaner and cool to customize, but let's not kid ourselves here, y'all are just Goat Hyurs. I've seen better from Granblue Fantasy, and the horned guys there are LITERALLY rip-off Au Ras anyway! Still. Props for trying, really, credit where credit is due, but you're just Elezen actually trying to be an individual. You need more meat on those bones, come on, you can do it, I believe in you!

Still, nothing's worse than Hyur. Actual waste of dev time to support this legacy, bland and boring race.

TLDR: Hyurs were a mistake, and Square needs to step it up in the creativity department. Please stop forcing them into every game you make, you're just pandering to the Defaults who have about as much personality as their character.

I guess all of us

Which Hyur pissed in your cereal?

Fandaniel, probably. He's crazy enough to do that.

It was me. It was cereal business.

I don't eat cereal, they're too mushy.

That said, the idiots going around saying my race was a waste or just overall excluding them from things~

I got bored and figured "you know what, tit for tat, and if the cap fits, you just prove my point".


I find how few of you understand satire honestly hilarious, but at the same time it doesn't surprise me at all. Considering most of you are the type to go Option 1 on any given thing without much brain work xD

Have fun, Defaults. I'll be here, showing off originality with a race that's actually fitting the game we play.

If most people play catgirls, doesn't that make them the default? Au ra and Hrothgar don't seem to often be very original either since most of them are using the same face option. The only thing that separates your Hrothgar from 90% of the ones I've seen is an eyepatch.

People may be like "why does your character look like a real person?!" but at least I've never seen a copy of my character before, I don't need to worry about tail or ear clipping, all gear is made specifically for my body shape so I look good in everything, and I can wear hats. Some people's idea of fantasy is different than others and they don't need to look special or quirky to enjoy it their own way.

I mean, that's not exactly an issue with originality. It's just that if people like how a certain face looks, which lets face it. A majority of Hrothgar use Face 1 or 2 because. As stated in multiple previous posts in other threads.

Spikes and Coeurl-Whiskers aren't everybody's cup of tea.

Horns and Foreheads Flattened for Fake fluffy fringes also isn't everybody's ideal look.

It's not about originality, it's about having a lack of decent options which aren't the niche within a niche.

Though, Im sure if we could wear headgear.. Maybe some more styles could be played around with.... Oh wait..


We can't... So we're locked out of one of the big methods that people allow people to customize their characters?

If Midareyukki is wearing an eyepatch it's because it's one of the 10 options we have for headgear. I'm wearing a helmet. A full Helmet... But I guess because I have the same face underneath because I like having the beard and Moustache. I'm unoriginal.

I'll simply sit over here. Gazing upon my bountiful fields... Through... I guess this thing has holes in it to see through?

Watered by the tears of the people who need the /s tag on this post.

This sounds like more reason not to delete Hyurs, but delete cats(one of them or both. We win anyway)


And return to Rat



Rat is good.
