My preference has been the highland hyur for a combination of reasons that I still find difficult to explain. They project a strength of character and seriousness that seems appropriate in the context of what has happened to Eorzea. Their homeland has been taken over recently, which gives a good reason why any number of highland hyur would be seeking their fortunes elsewhere, either to turn a new leaf or to prepare for the eventual reconquest of their lost homeland of Gyr Abania. I feel those are the reasons that draw me the most to the race, although there is also the fact that miqo'te seem to dominate the servers, so I feel compelled to play something different. Plus, they are a proud race with a strong sense of honor. They had everything and then lost it all. There is a struggle to find meaning in their lives and to regain the respect that they had lost.
