Miqo'te

[Ignnis]

They seem to be nearly perfect representations of the perceived idealistic archetypal person that the standard Otaku idolizes, complete with kitty-personae, such as the ears, tail and personality quirks which also fit into many of the standard Otaku's idolizations.. :3 snipxD

i like them but I'm not some creepy weeaboo otaku o.O though I can understand where your coming from......that's just a bit too much of a generalisation and some people like them for other reasons, this is going to sound weird but I like them and a couple of the other races for their facial structures...this is coming from a 3D modeller point of view which might explain the weirdness xD

My legacy character (never really got her too high up though) was elezen, and i just made a miqo'te to try something different during beta four. I just got attached to her, and she's my main now. I've also got a lalla on a JP server because i made her when the servers kept being down for me. I see Lalla the most, but that could be they are one of the more obvious when you see them, the small size. Personally i think the miqo'te animations are some of my favorites, so that helps, just too cute.

I can understand what you mean, personally, my main character happens to be a Miqo'te because when I create characters for MMO, I give them an entire backstory and the Miqo'te was the only race that really fit the personality of Autumn, in fact Autumn is my only Miqo'te character.. I have 2 Roegadyn (One of which I named Leight Foredinner.. xD ), a Lalafell named Megara, a Hyur name Melody, and then I have Olga Astronomonov who is an Elezen..

to be honest i picked a miqote because it has the look of a DEX focussed race.... and i wanted to be an archer....but the cat look definitely makes it an even easier option.
i honestly like the look of ALL the races and have a good idea of how i will make them each look unique, but ill make more characters after i max a class or two on my miqote.
to me it just feels weird to pick a race that looks like if it was reallife they would have a clear dis advantage in their class, like a roegayden warrior vs a lafallel warrior. i know its a mmo and it comes down to the stats but its just something i take into consideration when choosing races.

Oh the other reason I like miqote is because I love cats, I have 4 myself, crazy cat lady

...Lallafel are just small, and childish. For me that was a tad too creepy, that's all. ...

I played a female miqo'te in phase 2, she was ok, didn't like the voice choices much, but I liked how she looked with dark blue skin and white facepaint.

Then phase 3 came and I couldn't make her look the same as the colour choices had changed and I made a male miqo'te and fell in love with him. I also find the miqo'te lore very interesting, how this whole sunseeker breeding male stuff works in a "modern (fantasy)" world.

But then I bumped into Merlwyb and crushed hard on her! And I ended up making a female roegadyn who stole my heart completely. I still play my roe, but I've created my manqo'te as my retainer and have him as a low level gladiator on the same server as my roe. I just couldn't give up on either. T_T

They're BFFs. :''')

^^^^^ That!

I also find their emotes most lovely ... and while I'm Hyur on my main char I have several male and female "cats" of both clans on secondary chars and one of them will be the first to go through the story second time enjoying all the dialogs adn quirks of the game.

I always had a thing for Miqo'te (Mithra) as far back as FFXI.
the only issue until FFXIV:ARR was there was no male of the species and I like to play a character as the same gender as me.
back in FFXI I have a mule character that was Mithra just so I could have a Mithra character.
