Oh hey, this is a thing apparently. Sure, why not?

Just me.

After looking at many of the post here I think the thread title should have been "Breaking Norm,The Pretty People playing FFXIV" Since the norm is the cheeto dusted, beer stain shirts and such with the poxed faces (what everyone else thinks what gamers look like) lol Edit: I mean the nongamers of the world XD

It's hardly a norm that gamers are fat, with pimples, and stained clothes
Look at any SC, WoW, LoL, whatever tournaments for example, most people there look quite good.

Yeah, while some may fit the bill, most are not. People get it into their heads that someone sitting down to play video games as much as some people do, they HAVE to be fat and such. They don't look outside of that whatsoever.

Besides, in a mixed community as FFXIV is, there's also less chance that the stereotype becomes predominant. Take that as you will. . . .

Why would XIV have a more mixed community than others?
The communities in all other games i been part of, have had their fair share of hotties too.
It's only at blizzcon that you find massive amount of *real* game nerds

I took it to mean that XI/XIV may have a more international/culturally diverse player base? Idk I've only played these 2 games and I'm in Florida (i.e.: I am not culturally diverse ). /shrug

Because XIV doesn't force you to play on regional servers, obviously

Well, for one, we've had people from all around the world post in this topic. I'll try not to offend too many, but let's just say that some countries are more prone to hosting a bigger number of the usual gamer stereotype than others :x

That said, there's also a matter of personal taste, and I'm the first to say that mine is all over the place, as I find waaay too many people physically attractive in so many different ways. . . . or you could just call me out for having low standards
