To be fair, I think their reasoning is totally justified, as much as it may disappoint those with a taste for muscular/larger-framed women.

I would have to agree. Our opinions and census size are based on Balmung and the Role-play community. Their census sample is based off the entire playerbase. Even if Balmung is the highest density population, it is still only a fraction of the whole.

I was really disappointed to read that they were thinking of making stockier Au Ra females but decided not to because roegadyn and highlander females aren't popular. Though, I always suspected this was going to be the case. I was expecting the females of the new race to be super pretty, especially since this is an Asian mmo. (Though not their extreme height difference, that surprised me)

I don't know if I would call highlanders 'muscular' personally. I would say 'toned' and 'physically in shape.' She looks like she works out or plays a sport. But she doesn't look like a female weight lifter or body builder. I'm not even sure I would call it a "warrior's build." I find it worrying purely on the basis of "They just look healthy...so what?"

Highlander and roegadyn females are "muscular women lite."

Hell no, they're compromising artistic integrity and game lore to pander to fans who can't handle strong-looking women.

"Why do these genders look nothing alike?"
"Because fans are basic"

I... uh, I really like Au Ra females but I also REALLY appreciate the aesthetic of Roe and Highlander women. It's a personal preference, sure, and it happens to be a generally popular one. Companies, ultimately, do have to sacrifice some artistic tastes when they have 'can we sell tons of this' in mind. Especially since, by rights, this game was nearly canceled. Roegadames and Highlander women didn't even exist in 1.0. And it's a little hurtful to say that anyone who has a particular taste is 'basic' just because it's popular and sells well.

K'nahli · **03-17-2015, 02:10 PM**

There will be naysayers no matter what side they went with. Au Ra were a highly anticipated race, it was in everyones' best interests that they make bother genders as appealing as possible to as many people as possible.

Anyways, the height/build discrepancy is quite interesting in a way. It's reminiscent ofÂ certain types of animals/mammals and insects out there.

Don't be hurt by what is essentially politics, it's all impassionate!

It's relative to the standards I see of Square Enix. FFXIV is a very lore-heavy world, and I love it for the attention to detail and lengths they go to in making it a 'real fantasy', and not some whimsy 'plane of the gods' where anything is justifiable. Seeing them cave in like this disappointing.

"Cave in" to what, precisely?

Cave in to demands by the player base for more effeminate, cute, conventionally attractive girly-girls?

I thought that was obvious?
