You're right, I'm the one sexualizing characters that look like children. It's not projecting, people do this.

"Little people" is a well worn fantasy trope and there's nothing in-game that sexualizes lalafells. They might actually grow out of the ground for all we know. To me, catgirl emotes are way more problematic. And how with the in-game lore they actually live in harems.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Someone told me that male Hyurs are the most picked race. Is that really true? Every time I queue for solo DF I can predict I'll be matched with a trio of catgirls. There are SO. MANY. CATGIRLS. And they all dress ratchet too.

Catgirls are by far the most overused race in this game.

Catgirls are by far the most overused race in this game.

Unless there was a huge dramatic shift in the past 7 months (Which in accordance to the 2015 Census that's not happening) than the census we got back in December 2016 actually says that's only slightly true for the EU.

12/2016 Data:
Character genders: JP - 49% female, 51% male; NA - 39% female, 61% male; EU - 41% female, 59% male

Races:

JP
Aura - 8%
Hyuran - 28%
Elezen - 7%
Lalafell - 28%
Miqo'te - 25%
Roegadyn - 4%

NA
Aura - 10%
Hyuran - 29%
Elezen - 9%
Lalafell - 17%
Miqo'te - 29%
Roegadyn - 6%

EU
Aura - 10%
Hyuran - 29%
Elezen - 8%
Lalafell - 18%
Miqo'te - 31%

Lalas that wear stuff like the Thavnairian Bustier get some side eye from me, but in my experience, most either go for a badass potato or a cute potato.

Definitely did not expect that to be common, but I welcome the news! Now if I can actually progress that far in the story.. Stormblood seems like an eternity away.

Well, if it's not the color you love, you don't really have to wait that long. It's a recolor of the Dravanian Healing set that that drops in the Heavensward Antitower dungeon. I think it looks better in white anyway, but hey.

 

[Edzi]

I approve of this race war.

I can agree that most cat girls are kinda trashy by design, which I'm not a huge fan of. Y'shtola balances things out with her class though. I don't know how any of you can defend being a lala.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Speaking of cat girls the Doma Castle female gear set was a mistake... it's nothing but trash. Specially when a potato is wearing it *shivers*

 

[Akuun]

The main tank in my group is a lalafell, and he used to wear a poncho and a ridiculously oversized sombrero. It was awesome.

 

[Blitzhex]

JP
Lalafell - 28%

You can always count on JP to do it right

That's perfectly innocuous

 

[TheMrPliskin]

The Roe numbers are so low. I have to imagine the number of female Roe is much lower than male as well.

I'd consider male roe if they had more human like proportions. They just look kinda derpy as is, especially in certain armor sets.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

That's why I ended up going female Roe when I decided to switch from a Lala, they at least have the same sort of build without looking like a cube in the process.

The more upsetting thing about it is some of the gear is just the recolored Law tomestone gear. I didn't like that set then and I sure don't like it now.

 

[Croc]

I would never play a Lalafell just cause I actually want to see the armor and shit that I'm wearing.

I picked male Elezen first cause I was originally dragoon and it looked coolest on the tallest thinnest character but I recently switched to female Au Ra and am never looking back.

Yea since coming back I've been feeling like this ha

 

[Edzi]

The only thing I don't like about my cat dude is that helmets look terrible with those little ear cones they add. Luckily, I rarely display headgear that hides my face since that'd look dumb in cutscenes.

What's wrong with the Doma Castle gear? Do you mean the Shisui of the Violet Tides?

The only proper headgear.

What is the main difference between EUR and NA accounts? The subscription payment method? I can log in any server, right? EUR can only pay in Euros?

I've yet to find a good looking pair of glasses. Where'd you get those?

That's some damn fine glams. What top is that?

Oasis Tunic from Gold Saucer

The right analog of my DS4 is getting "stuck" every now and then when I move it, causing the camera to keep going.
rip comfy couch tanking

Oasis Tunic from the Gold Saucer. 3k MGP.

 

[Edzi]

Question for all you glamour fiends, is there a good looking tank armor set that resembles the Ursine armor from the witcher 3? Similar to the Orthodox fending set, but dyeable. Been thinking of just going back to get the entire set.

Only 3K huh? Might have to cop

 

[Kudo]

...

Lower numbers for Aura than I expected, guess people got bored of 'em fast. Can always count on Japan to make the right choice for race, Lalafell is the way to go and Hyur is good second.

 

[DrForester]

Artisan's Spectacles They were a all-jobs crafting headpiece in ARR. You need a 50+ crafting job and have to turn in a difficult (at 50) HQ items to get them.

If you don't have a crafting job leveled, there is the Scholasticate questline in Heavensward that will reward you with an identical (but non dyeable) version of the glasses.

If I want to get into the glam game what are the best resources to do so? I guess it doesn't matter until I get to 70 but I do get tired of looking like a clown all the time

This isn't too bad.

Click the Glamour Sets tab if you wanna see everyone's 2B cosplay.

 

[Village]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD

( i like the cat ears added to hat, I think its cute and weird. I mean its not as cool as aura getting horns added to all helmets making darkknight clams work way better exclusively for one race. But the ear thing is cool)

 

[Astral]

I can't dye the Ironworks armor?

 

[Zomba13]

Need to upgrade it to Augmented Ironworks gear. You use the Carbontwine bought from the same person you buy the armour (under (other) in the main menu section I think) then take the twine and the piece to Gerolt's assistant in the North Shroud and trade them there for dyable ilvl130 pieces.

 

[Isaccard]

Catgirls are by far the most overused race in this game.

They're the worst.

Yes, how dare they also wear glamour designed for all races in the game.

Pretty sure I was talking specifically about the people playing them and dressing them up.

Again, precetion =/= reality

You can always count on JP to do it right

They know the superior race.

Oh I see, thanks. I guess I'll do that once I have all the gear.

 

[Omni]

Hit dat enrage in v4s

Couuuuuuld clear today maybe? We're like 8% off though. Had a few (a lot lmao) deaths during Omega which rekt us. Hmmmm

 

[Stone Ocean]

Finally made to the final phase in v3, now we just need to clean up library phase and we can start working on clearing it

 

[Astral]

I had to change my damn hairstyle because my hair was clipping real bad through my gear.

???????

Are you straight up denying people do this?

 

[Luminaire]

Yay V3S down. Would've done it yesterday but we couldn't run.

Onto the nightmare that is V4S. (

 

[Astral]

Just did my first level 50 dungeon as a WHM. That was a damn workout. The tank kept pulling enemies like mad. It's the first time I sweat as a healer.

 

[DontTouchMe]

I've come to terms that I'll never find a pug group to beat o2s. I'm ok with this, I think.

 

[Drillary Clinton]

Cleared O1S. Wow that was incredibly easy. Went in blind as MT; beat on 2nd try.

Yeah barely anything is different in the first one. On to 2 with you!

 

[Euphony]

Is it weird of me to have thought that Minfilia's voice sounded like text to speech when I first heard it? Just something about her voice seems robotic.

 

[Drillary Clinton]

Waiting on PF now. Also looks very easy, but punishing if one mechanic is fucked up.

fits the character tbh

 

[komaruR]

NVM manage to contact the dude

 

[Vhalyar]

WHM gets one but its completely pointless.

Naw, it's fantastic. In PvP.

 

[kromeo]

Aww I get Squall outfit and it's the lame Dissidia one with the leather flap

 

[Village]

fits the character tbh

not a fan?
