If I didn't get attached to my character I'd be rocking a femroe. In fact, when I took time away from RP, I made a femroe appearance I loved. Unfortunately, I don't have the will, motivation, or aptitude for playing or even roleplaying more than 1 character.

Sadly I think what you're seeing is just the microcosm of races played by people. SE census has mentioned that highlanders and roegadyn are some of the least populous races. It's a bummer but there's a reason why we keep getting this different aesthetic. People aren't interested in the current ones, SE translates that into "oh they don't like it, and continues with the cute or pretty ones.

Nevermind that I think certain femroes are hot as fuck and are really pretty.

There was a dance circle a week ago that got started because the Roegadyn Linkshell had a dance party. And my free company has at least 5-6 roegadyn. Few of our neighbours are roegadyn too so the adjacent area we live in is probably lacking Elezen or hyur more than anything else.

Hmm, shame I missed it.  Sounds like that would have been fun.  I'm always looking for places my fortune-telling kitty can drop in on.  He used to be nomadic, so wanderlust still takes him now and then so at times he just goes out for walks.  Frequently through residential districts.

I suppose it is perspective, but I find attractive qualities in all the races.  I recently Fantasia-ed and name changed my Midlander for a fresh start as the character deviated way to far from original concept.  Went miqo because it seemed like a fun change of pace, and the small frame worked well with the shy personality I gave him.

Don't know why, but I find Roe one of the most attractive races, really.  Maybe it's that there are indeed unique traits such as their noses.  And it can lead to fun roleplay as a good number of Roe I've RPed with have been very friendly and outgoing which can frequently trigger my kitty's shy streak.

I can understand fewer Roe, I guess I'm just a bit surprised how few.  But I do agree aesthetics play a part and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The roe are cool, but I needed an extreme disconnect between my character's nature and appearance. If i was not playing a martial character, I'd consider it... But probably just end up doing midlander or xaela in the end. Xaela are huge, and give that mid nineties anime build that went out of style years ago, that bruce lee-esque thin waist and broad chest. If I'm going to play a character with a powerful physique, it'd be female highlander or male xaela. The roe are kinda almost too much for me. That being said, as a lala I know the pain of being rare and i have a roe npc that might be fun to play sometime.

Highlanders actually are that big. As a Highlander player, I can tell you first hand that a Highlander male towers over everyone in the room. Being that a male highlander is about the same height as a female Elezen, at max sliders you're going to be barely half a head shorter than a male elezen. Roe and male Au Ra are the only big differences, and by big, I mean it isn't astronomical.

While there's only like, half a foot between Max Slider Roe Male and Max Slider Highlander Male, the Roe ends up gaining like a foot in width up and beyond the highlander.  That's a LOT of body mass and extra model.  Male Roes are built like brick shit houses.

I play War Bear, a male Hellsguard. I like to think I do a decent job with him.

Though I will say it is discouraging the amount of lewd advances I have to fight off in tells when I'm just trying to either find work or RP.

Like I play a Female Roe (real female none of this futa crap.) and a Female Highlander as well and they don't get hit on nearly as much as Bear does.

Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.

I personally like the Roe ascetic because of the fact they are humanoid but just enough off to give them their own identity. To me the way that i look at roe in this game is the same as Orcs in other and to me Orcs are probably one of the most fascinating fantasy tropes. This is because they can be as varied as humans but typically are pushed into the dumb brute catagory.

Fun fact, when I had a friend doing the Free Trial of the game after coming from WoW... he went with a Roe because he wanted an Orky/bestial sort of race. He didn't stick around, though, ultimately went back to WoW to play his Orc there. It was fun while it lasted - with Gogon looking like a little Mr. Miyagi-style dude... we used to joke that his character was Jackie Chan and Gogon was Uncle.

That honestly surprises me.  I'm used to female characters in MMOs and chatroom getting swarmed like ants on a jam sandwich.  That whole flirt/proposition by tell never made sense to me.  It's like pointing to your crotch and saying "Yo!".  Anything that happens with my kitty happens IC.

Back on topic though, that given the conversation thus far it's curious to see the sheer volume of attention you're getting on War Bear.

It might be because of how he looks. I'm a huge fan of Barbarian and Conan looks.

I can see it.  Though at the same time it fits what some people say is unattractive about Roe.  Hell, I can't figure it out.

Well he is a fine looking Roe! Can you blame people? Tongue
