Here's the thing. This race is not ours. It is SE's. They can do what they want with it. The Miqo'tes are being represented how they SHOULD be represented. It's lore that many of them are like that. Seekers are whores, pirates, bar-wenches, fishers, dancers, adventurers, yellow-jackets, Maelstrom recruits, and sisters in the desert. That is what they are. Something I've been seeing a lot lately has been the 'modifying' of a races' lore to suit peoples' tastes rather than working WITH the lore to create an interesting character. If you don't like the race's lore, don't play it. Don't try to make it something else because you like how catgirls look and you don't like how SE made them. /endrant The point being made is that they are portrayed as whores here and there just for the sake of fan service when in actual fact the lore would imply otherwise if at all. So it is SE who are adding little pet peeves on to a race just so gamers can get a kick out of it as they pass through.

No, I'm not surprised at all that they picked on Miqo'te. Cat ears and such are a recurring theme in light-hearted animes so I guess it has become a sort of a thing in Japan(I don't want to say fetish, but perhaps..). I am not questioning it at all, everything makes sense to me in a way. Miqo'tes are cute, there's the aforementioned cat-theme in Japan and then theres also the fact that males are still the largest audience when it comes to gaming and these games are going to include such references and "easter eggs" to keep the typical males happy and get a kick out of encountering them. Its just unfortunate for us ;w; Edit: Y'shtola is awesome. I love her to bits. To: Y'shtola From: J'hared, Logan and K'nahli.

....is he too good for us??!! What does this mean, Michi?! TwT

I don't think its a matter of them not seeing sex as a big deal but rather that their cultural upbringing leads them to have tendencies and sexual attraction to stronger males. @Siobhain And while that is true, I don't think that if we were to use the example of said FATE then we can really see it as an empowering profession over a demeaning attempt at fan service. "Don't worry, milord/master.. we have ALL night" Ugh... I'm just really defensive since my main is a miqo'te. In actual fact, I have a hyur who will be well acquainted with courtesans in his spare time and its not like I am saying that miqo'tes shouldn't be courtesans... but as was pointed out by a few people already, it seems to be a strong theme that they are the 'favourite' race to be picked on for this particular side of things which is not something I am fond of. Ahah, I see ^^ I think you are right there. While there has been many discussions on this since and I, among others, feel we can justify the way Sunseekers operate now, my initial reaction to the harem-like society was: "Please tell me you are kidding" *sigh*

As a player, I'm not a huge fan of it, as it tends, IMO, to contradict the lore of miqo'te being strong, independent hunters whose culture is built largely on a continuing quest for excellence. However, it is what it is, I guess. The best implication I can draw is that miqo'te for whatever reason (difficulty adapting to city-state culture, enterprising spirit, a lack of qualms about sexuality) tend to find being sex workers a relatively easy thing. IC, L'yhta is exceedingly displeased at these sorts of miqo'te, and will readily talk someone's ear off on how miqo'te females debase themselves and that those who support it (by hiring miqo'te dancers or prostitutes) are perpetuating a foul system, etc. She looks very far down upon these miqo'te, going so far as to recently call them "worthless strumpets". It's a hot button topic for her and one where she's delightfully mean and judgmental. I like your character. Lets be friends.

Yes I am, and that FATE pissed me off a little to be honest(why a Roeg of all races...?). Frankly though, that FATE is the only bad thing I have seen. I didn't make a link with the exotic dancing because I didn't find it demeaning but I heard on a linkshell a couple of days ago that Sunseekers(or all Miqos, not sure) were implied to be the type to sleep about eagerly, according to Limsan NPCs. I got annoyed at that and went seeking evidence but didn't find any before I got distracted by the fishing guild, but still. Whatever about fan service, I was never bothered by courtesans or anything elsewhere but the fact that "all" Miqo'tes are portrayed under that light bothers me a bit. Even if its just a stereotype its not one I'd like associated with such a nice and whimsical(looking at their emotes) race ;; I don't see anything wrong with the cultural methodology. Just because its not anything relatable to modern day society or hy'urs doesn't mean its bad. Sunseeker females don't just readily sleep with the nuhn like a pack of sex slaves either. Its just a mating process to ensure strong young.

Beat Garuda then come back and read the spoilers. Though I have to agree that Summoner completely acknowledges that you have defeated the Primals, so at the very least we must acknowledge that anyone who is RPing a Summoner has slayed at least one Primal in their life, if not all three. Have yet to do Titan ;; But thank you for your answer.

I'm afraid to read those replies. How far into the storyline must I be to safely do so?

This event is being trolled by the servers, but yes! Tomorrow night should also be fine.

Hmm, if there's still room then I'd appreciate if you'd invite Alex Hawthorn just so I can get a taste of what goes on and see if there is any way he could fit in.

So if we're going to try it today regardless, then we should try and pull it up to an hour earlier to be safe?

This down to a t. I don't like the idea of a group of ten or even twenty being terribly elite and putting down a beast with that miniscule of a force. Judging from the in-game lore, primals being summoned and appearing is a very serious issue and not a common one. If they were that easy to dispatch then no-one would care as much as to give them that much more recognition than a large bandit, pirate or beastman raid. I don't agree with the "they can be re-summoned" excuse either. Its beginning to sound like these oh-so terrifying primals are being treated with the same regard as city rodents or something that come around every few days or weeks. "Oh for God's sake, Ifrit is at the bins again". ?

Well that kinda goes without saying but I still hope it isn't too small in-game.

How large is it? My miqo'te lives there but I don't want to visit there just yet until the story prompts me to. I am a little afraid that it is a relatively small expanse and not very desert-like but rather just a "small", sandy section of the map.

This made me laugh www I can just imagine two people RP'ing an ERP scene and then the next(real-life) morning, one says OOCly to the other; "Last night was amazing" Wahh,I feel the same way. I can never take anyone seriously if they tell me otherwise because I think they are just trying to be nice. Every time is so nerve-racking ;;

Looking forward to it! ^^ Where do we meet?

Miii, should this develop in such a way that you need someone to do some sleuthing or bounty hunting(assuming your victim will be compliant) then I would be humbled were you to consider asking my hy'ur >w

Ah, indeed that would be rather creepy though I'm sure most people here would only do such things with people they have known for some time IC and/or OOC. Can you imagine sharing such an intimate scene with a stranger you met a couple of hours ago? wwww @Naunet Ah, I am a little guilty of seeking/planning things, at least to a partial extent. I don't force scenarios or relationships of course, but I do intentionally seek out that my characters have some relation to my friend's character(s) since I love her RP and character design. Of course, I'd never alter a designed character just so they can get along or force relationships that simply wouldn't work(in fact I am hoping that her character can get along with them(have yet to RP them)) but if it doesn't work then it doesn't work ^^/

I never did quite understand the taboo around ERP. I never did it myself but I mean why should there be anything "wrong" with it? Sex is just a normal part of life and hyping it up and putting it up on a pedestal as if it is some sort of supreme thing is just silly. Besides that, most if not all of us are adults here(I'm gonna count mid-teens, in this case, as adults as well) so theres no reason for us to be ashamed of something as normal as it is. That said, I agree with doing it in private. I can't say I'd be enthralled to see RPers all around be describing every vivid detail in public ;;

My character isn't exactly a 'group' person but perhaps we could have some light affiliation along the way if you'll have my RP ;; Perhaps there are things we can offer each other and have a symbiotic relationship. In additon to that, I plan on making an alt called something along the lines of "Masked Bandit" which can make appearances randomly at scenes where my characters won't be active just so I can add a little diversity to otherwise normal scenes. The charm about this being that the character can be reused over and over without the need for personalities to carry over. The bandit can die or be injured and never come back, or be driven away and later return for revenge. I hope others will show interest in this too, would be nice to get some expendable antagonists around ^^ Anyways, those light, undevrloped characters can also possibly play a role alongside you, should you want menial tasks done to save yourself the effort, who knows? ^^

Snowboarding!!

Your RP was fine, we were interrupted a little rudely by your sister is all We shall continue at a later date. Ohhhhh don't you dare say that in front of K'nahli or she will murder you wwww

Quick question. I was just wondering, what is the default barding you get with your chocobo("Half-barding" or just plain "(Grand Company) Barding")? Apparently I need level 44 before I can try out crested >o> so I'd like to look at a new one in the mean time. Anyone? ^^

!!!! I'm sure Alana would be really touched by that TwT (But I love Cinnamon too much to see you part with the name now). Random Screens: NPC Archer K'nahli Yohko K'nahli showing her appreciation to K'mih, who helped her get the jacket Limsa Scenery --Scenic Screenshots taken by Clover(I could never get the same effect...)-- K'nahli Yohko and Clover Blake Andre Winter I'd post here more often if this topic was stickied >w< Edit: And mean Clover exposed...

Thank you for hosting the event! It was good practice for me to start RP'ing in-game and my miqo'te. In addition to that I got to meet Khaze! >w< Unfortunately the weather trolled me right as I was going to use it as an excuse to continue talking to him so nothing can develop until perhaps our next meeting TwT (Sorry for my stale RP, Khaze, hopefully I will get better soon! ^^")
