Hi, everyone. I am new to the forum and FFXIV (as well as the game franchise). I picked up the game recently because a friend who plays requested it and the first character I made was a Miqo'te. This was in part because my friend was already playing that race and yes, I thought they were cute. I had no way of knowing that the server we were playing on was already heavily saturated. With that being said, this was on Lamia with no expectations of role play. I wasn't even aware there was a role play community but am very pleased to see otherwise.Â
I agree with Haeden in regards to assimilation. In each city there are large populations of refugees due to the Calamity, all cramming together in what amounts to shanty towns. When you walk through any of the cities you see all the races (NPCs) mingling together. Miqo'te hold various jobs and it seems to be implied that at least some have embraced city life. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that when they go home for the evening they don't slip back into traditional behavior but I feel it sets a certain precedent. The fact that the lore states they are solitary creatures yet have such a large NPC presence would lead me, as a newb, to believe that the population is slowly migrating away from some of their traditionally held beliefs and lifestyles.
I personally feel that both play types are appropriate and add an opportunity for interaction between the traditional and non-tradional characters. I have absolutely no intention of making one myself. Should I be able to get a spot on Balmung I have a Roegadyn planned.
