MALE OR FEMALE?

[Kinseykinz]

Anyone want to convince me to go from Miqo to Lala? I'm in a heated debate with myself atm... lol -_-

Create a Lala character during beta or as an alt first on your main account when ARR launches. Play a couple hours as a lala and see what you think. One of the main adjustment problems many of us 'lala's' have to playing the other races is we got so use to the viewpoint and 'character speed' we think everything else looks odd and slow. Yes I know we all move at the same speed but because our legs/chocobo legs are so little we appear to move faster on our screen.

All of our camera angles and viewpoints are also from a much lower angle. (one of my elezen friends laughed at a screen shot I took of her and me because it was basically me and her thighs...) One word of advice, if switching to lala, go 'big' lala. It's not much taller but the added height can sometimes mean being able to see the target and not depending on the landscape. I learned this from playing the 'smallest' taru in ffxi. Big lala is much easier camera wise...you can also see your character details a little better too.

The pros to lala's are they are typically a more fun, light-hearted race that people overall seem to love or at least love teasing in that 'little bro/sis' kind of way. And while all types of people play all types of characters, overall, the lala's are known for being helpful, silly and warm...and the emotes are AWESOME So again, try it out during beta....I am DEF staying a lala-lady...but what's right for me and my personality might not be right for you.

Ahhh~ The lala pressure~

I've been Mithra from XI and Miqo from XIV onwards, that's why it's so haard.

Dang it, why lala's gotta be so gosh darn cute... SEのバカ >.>;

Unless I can really beautify the female roe...

Male playing a female atm. Likely that I'll make a male secondary, due to the way I behave and getting too many constantly asking if I'm really a guy. Don't really mind much but it's a thing. I kinda like playing a female role is games. Women with courage and valour are great. (Males don't always need the glory right?)

Female playing Male :P

[Kirito]

I'm male playing male hyur... I might try out male mi'quote and elven during the beta test to see how it feels...

[Rahsch]

Yeah I first tried a Elezen male but then I just got hypnotized by the Dunesfolk eyes...

[nokinator]

LALAs get BOOBies yaaaaaaa. I just might have to rethink my thoughts

I like playing many races and genders. I am female.

I don't see my character as myself, they all have different personalities depended on race/gender.
That's what I like about role playing, that I can be something different.

It will be hard to decide which race/gender I will play as main, but I think I go male...
I was thinking of a Elezen, but I like some of the emotes of Hyur midlander more... I guess I also need to try male Miqo'te.

I guess I will try different races/genders in beta, and see what is the best fitting for me as main.
