Miqo'te

[autumnrain26]

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

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..

What it boils down to is what you want to look like. I play a Hyur because I always play humans. Each race has nice characteristics when it comes to aesthetics. Lalafell's. Walk funny and it always make me want to pick them up and hug them. Elezen are super tall and look very natureish. Roegadyn are tough and burly and look like the could squish your skull by looking at you.

Miqo'te are popular for the same reason as people have stated before. They are basically anime archetypes. The females are cute and playful. The males are loners and have a really cool squat they do. Like they are waiting to pounce on something.

Every race has its own strengths. Stats don't really mean a whole lot until you get to that point where the slightest advantage will give you and edge. By then, you are not worrying about how you look.

Go for what you want to play. Because you will be staring at it for the next 50 levels (if you stick with it)

Uh yeah, I'm Miqo'te too. I usually go through the looks of the different races and pick the one I like the most. After all I have to look at it for most of my gaming time.

Humans are alright. I can seem myself playing one of those. Lallafel are just small, and childish. For me that was a tad too creepy, that's all. The big ones, Ro-something, yeah too big for my taste really, and too green. Or blue. Then there's the Elezen, and they just looked ... odd. I'm not sure how else to say it, but there's something weird with their body proportions. The head's too small or something. Or the body too big.

And Miqo'te's were just too cute, so I picked that.

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.

^^^^^ 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.
