Why so much in-game racism?

[Zebraoracle]

Its kinda telling how we still havent explored The Source's Viera besides the mention of Golmore Jungle in the Ivalice raids. Raktika was neat, but would've loved to have that culture BE explored in the Source rather than having it feel so disconnected with us getting introduced to them in alternate Hydaelyn. Yet another reason why I dislike Shadowbringer's premise... (reeeally should've been that Garlemald expansion. Could've helped with better introducing Bozja as part of the msq too)

I *think* part of the reason nothing else was released with Ivalice is because the main writer for it left Square? Or something like that. It's also why we'll never get another Ivalice based game, which I'm incredibly upset about. It's really sad, it just cements that we'll probably never actually get to explore the Ivalice related areas in 14 nor hear anything else about that resistance group or whatever Fran was with. Just a completely dropped story thread, IIRC.

Editing this bc I was basically just repeating myself over and over the past posts and it's honestly getting irritating xwx

TLDR: Yes, you're right, 100%, stop being malicious people, and don't let people feel alone when someone talks about their nasty experiences in-game \o/



imo Vieras need a lot more than what they're given in-game. The devs should focus a bit more on their new races and explore them in the First. Viera are quite mystical, it would be interesting to see how they operate within Hydealyn.

Kudos sir.

I find it a shame that in game racism is so easily reportable, so long it is held in an unextreme manner.
My distate for Viera and Miqo'te in particular, I must make known, and I do so in a roleplay way. "I wish not for a lowly Viera to approach me in such frivolous fashion!"
I think it just to vent a bit against the by far most played races. When Gridanian Wildwoods can shame me for being a Duskwight, then so may I shame.

I have come across many players who find Elezen to be ugly. While I see where they come from, they should live under no illusion that I will not have my opinion about their race as well.

No one cares what your beef with other races is and nobody wants to hear about it in game. If you really have to complain about your dislike, that kind of thing is best left to a personal blog.

I think I can speak for many Viera when I say we don’t want to approach you either

I would hope and expect so.
I remember it fondly still, when in 2019, a camera drone intend on filming local wildlife dove into the canopies of the deep jungle, only to find a tribe of half naked rodents live out their frivolous rites below. I refer of course to the Viera trailer. A deep point, so far it concerns me.

I must have missed that because I was watching the documentary on humanoids with donkey ears

I understand. Pray tell, are you wealthy? Money comes in handy for certain individuals who dearly require a nose job.

I wouldn’t worry about my nose, however I do have a few millions saved to pay for your much needed butt implants, you know, so that your hips finally match the wideness of your shoulders, some aren’t naturally blessed with an hourglass shape unfortunately.

I must beg of you to not put your misguided physical obsessions upon me. I am a Warrior of Light, a White Elementalist. I dress not to turn the heads of men, but to appeal to Hydaelin.
