TERA also has a pretty big pvp crowd so Aman do tend to stand out when the field is full of people half your size. >.<
Aman weren't the least popular because TERA was an example of a game that had another race that took it even further in the Baraka. The Roegadyn are FFXIV's version of TERA's Baraka. It's just how it is.

The Roegadyns are my favorite race in the game precisely due to their hulking, gritty appearance. While it's not overly surprising to hear that they were the least populous, especially with the lack of playable females, I would not expect them to be so few and far between as to call them underrepresented. But with a history of creating characters that would not be considered pretty by human standards I suppose that I've missed the boat on this one. Thank you for clarifying for me.
And that's fine. You're part of the demographic that finds Roegadyn to be awesome. There's nothing wrong with that, but unfortunately you're part of the minority. I'll direct you towards the "Post your character" thread and simply take a look at what's all posted. You'll find a lack of a few things, male Roegadyn, Male Highlanders, and maybe one other. While not an accurate representation, it still gives the a somewhat decent picture of how things balance out (Mostly, cat people, cat people everywhere.)
