I don't really understand why you would play this game instead of any other MMO and then not be a cat

something like half the NA playerbase is a catgirl, a catgirl who fantasia'd to au ra, or a potato

why would you pick one of those when you could be at least twice as tall with a muscle slider and almost never running into someone who looks exactly the same as you?

I idenfity as a proud potato turned not proud female midlander turned opposite gender potato because the male hairstyles are great turned dragon kpop star, thank you.

There are lots of good choices. Midlander hyur is not one of them. It lasted like 3 hours before I couldn't take it anymore.

But a just so you know seriouspost, Kingtheninja, race choice (and the other creation stuff) is 99.99% meaningless statistic / gameplay wise, and the only times it does matter are really loving weird edge cases like some lalafell BLMs getting one extra cast of Fire IV per cycle with one less Piety materia or something

So pick whatever the hell suits your anime fancy potato

It's always Tataru who makes me consider going tater yet again

Though at this point I'm pretty committed to dragon-princess

Also, man, I was expecting the patch to be up by now. It won't take that long to download, but I was looking forward to getting it out of the way well before the game went back up. Hopefully the patch data will be up in a few hours.

To be fair WoW and it's one content patch per expansion system is objectively bad.

Yep. I think I hopped off of WoW and back into FFXIV proper sometime between 2.4 and 2.5. I saw they added Shiva and that the Cloud of Darkness was going to be a boss. When I dug back and saw everything they had added since I dropped out of the game before 2.1 hit, I was flabbergasted. Three dungeons each patch, four new primals (well, Good King Moggle Mog was rehashed from old FFXIV but it was new to me) complete with a unique buttrock theme, two 24 man raids, a whole freakin' optional comedy questline with trial encounters against Ultros and Gilgamesh, the Gold Saucer and a class/job not tied to an expansion.

There's a boatload of crap I'm glossing over, I'm sure, but it was astounding how much FFXIV put into their game compared to World of Warcraft in the same timeframe, which just ended the year long Siege of Orgrimmar with Warlords of Draenor. I didn't even hate Warlords of Draenor; the questing to 100 was actually a huge step up for Blizzard and I REALLY enjoyed the questline with the bird people! It's a crying shame the endgame was so anemic, which is to say nothing about the wet fart they announced with 6.1's twitter integration and the "we didn't finish it on time for launch" raid.

If they'd skewed the sexual dimorphism the other way on Au Ra, made the boys dainty and the women lanky/tall as gently caress maybe Au Ra would be a less trash race.

Seriously, the quest descriptions get a little :stare: about this sometimes. You have to wonder why lalafells dare venture out of Limsa or Ul'dah these days, or how the dickens the La Noscean ones survived all those years between the fall of Nym and the Sea Wolves establishing Limsa.

Also, Ninja, lemme repost some dragongirl and potato pics to help you get a feel for how each can look:

Honestly, I should get a couple of new glamour shots, there's at least one 3.3 outfit that looks great on au ra. Perhaps after getting some 3.4 stuff.

I do hope the next race is more interesting. I won't be playing one if it's something weird or just flipped dimorphism but it would be nice for the people who want that to have the option.

Cat boys? I played one since I started but I got tired of their lack of interesting hairstyles. Although I would like a younger male character like Alphinaud too :v:
