Letter from the Producer XLI

[Rowyne]

I thought the Highlander female looked like a 'irl' strong women - someone who may actually scare you but is also appealing.

Roe reminds me of WoW female orc, except with 1000% better graphics lol (not an insult, unless you hate WoW - but that's not my problem ;P).

Highlander female looks like she could serve you SEVERAL flagons of ale!

Drink up, boys! Ha!

I like the new races! It's good to see women that actually look like they can tank and not the skinny acrobatic type!

Agreed, agreed, and agreed! Since we were introduced to Merlwyb sometime back, seeing what a playable Female Roe looked like met my expectations. I agree with Shougun. They remind me of a beautiful WoW female orc (with WAY better graphics), or sort of like the She-Hulk. Definitely approve.

But what was unexpected for me was the Female Highlander. I thought she was going to be more tribal, more warrior-like. And I find I actually like this look better! Like Hiir said, she looks like a tavern wench who can serve up the ale and take care of herself in a brawl. It's different, because games either make strong female races like this go full-on hulking Amazon woman, or they're races far removed from humans, like orcs, dwarves, etc. Loving the Female Highlander! She's strong and sexy!

Like Linkurrra said, it's nice to see some women with meat on their bones. I'm not a skinny little thing IRL, myself. I'm a medium-built woman with German ancestry. These two new female races sort of became my new heroes. <3

lol at the "I drew another curse face"

IKR? He's got that look like, "Really? ... Really?!? Again???"

Highlander female still looks like a boy in drag >.>

The Lalafell... Is she sporting a braid? I can't exactly tell, but sorta looks like it.

No way to tell with those tiny ass screenshots... >_>

Hold on a second... is Ifrit even bigger now!?! If I'm not mistaken, the Midlander in the foreground for scale makes Ifrit look twice as big as he was in 1.0! Clearly the Amalj'aa have been busy gathering crystals.

All the primal are free they no longer need crystal to stay on our world. Seeing how in 2.0 primal would be roaming around eorzea if we find them we get a party together and you attack him and you be teleport to the area you fight ifrit. If your ls/free company win you then have to fill up a bar "Still unknown on what you have to do to fill the bar" Once that bar is fill you can summon Ifrit in battle the ls/free company can then set the rules on who can use ifrit it's a one summon type deal once he summon the world would turn i guessing red or w/e and everyone would known ifrit have been summon.

Once he been summon him and he gone he free once more to walk around eorzea. Then other free company/ls can get him your free company would be on cool down but you still can gain the power of the other primal. You also have 1week or w/e time limit they set to fill the bar and use ifrit or he be release so i guess you have to fill that up quick then set a date asap to fight a very hard boss like odin or something so you can use ifrit before your time is up.
