Aysun

We do not know!

And if you're talking about hair color they both can have white hair.

Listen to this girl, she smrt. (I totally forgot about that..)

Seekers have a warm palette of colors (warm brown, red, blonde), while Keepers have a cool palette with very ashen/gray undertones (blues, purples, greys). It was usually very easy to tell them apart visually even without seeing their eyes (Seekers have the slit pupil, while Keepers have very large, round pupils). In 1.0 all Keepers had a colored tailtip and it was longer. Hair color matches ears and tail always. Of course, that was in 1.0. Subject to change what with all the options we're getting..

Keepers**! I don't know jaaack about Ishgard. I just know that they added info on Wyverns to the main website: The wyvern is a sinuous scalekin that cuts swiftly through the air on large, membranous wings. A less-imposing relative of dragons, wyverns often serve as frontline troops in the endless assault on the fortifications of Ishgard.

It's really simple. You could just ask the dev to clarify, really, if it bothers you that much that he put it beneath the Keeper of the Moon header. (I recommend this.) The word race in XIV, as Rhostel pointed out, does not have the same meaning as it does to us IRL. Races IRL are like XIV's clan system, more than anything. But this is how it works in XIV: RACE: main distinguishing features CLAN: smaller distinguishing features, difference in cultural norms Ex: RACE: Miqo'te CLAN: Keeper of the Moon / Seeker of the Sun RACE: Hyur CLAN: Midlander / Highlander RACE: Lalafell CLAN: Plainsfolk / Dunesfolk RACE: Elezen CLAN: Duskwight / Wildwood RACE: Roegadyn CLAN: Sea Wolves / Hellsguard The dev said "race," therefore it applies to both clans of the Miqo'te race. It is also supported by an NPC in 1.0 who when talking about Miqo'te said that the males were a rare sight, making it hard to study them. It makes plenty of sense too, that males would be rare in both clans, as Rhostel explained. If the dev meant to say clan, and changes it to that, great, Seekers will have more. But until then or we see different explanation in ARR, it is silly to keep debating over one clan having more males than another based on the possibility of a typo, isn't it? The fact that we're going to have more males than SE's distribution of the races/clans/genders in the player character community in general still remains and needs to be accepted by RPers as just how it is. Miqo'te in general are not supposed to make up much of the population of Eorzea, but every other RPer you run into will be a Miqo'te.

They say "race" not "clan" -- it applies to both.

Being 5 years absent from her job at the Concern leaves me to believe that Aysun is unemployed at the start of ARR. She'll be back to it eventually..

Yea it would be. From my perspective only those who were brave enough to stand and fight were the ones who got timewarped (implied by another trailer as well as it appearing that it was the adventurers who Louisoix was protecting from Bahamut's wrath). Unfortunately we don't know how bad the destruction was just yet..

Ahhh this is good news. Really happy they added more options (though some of them are just lulzwtf..).

..LOL.

I expect a mass update on the Wiki once the NDA is lifted.

The point in the trailer: They are talking about at 3:15. It shows the initial "burst" from Bahamut's freedom striking "behind" Ul'dah. The city itself was not struck, but Thanalan probably got hit depending on the perspective. I would assume that if your character was in Ul'dah at the time of this that they would definitely have seen it happened. You're correct: at the start of ARR, it will be 1577. Dalamud fell in 1572. If your character was born in 1555 (assuming January), then they will be 17 when Dalamud fell, and 22 at the start of ARR. In January 2014, most (if not all) RPers will be playing in the year 1578, even though time in ARR will be static to NPCs. I do not know if SE has decided to give a reason as to why the male Miqo'te are suddenly coming out of hiding and becoming adventurers when they haven't been before. I doubt it will be something as complex as an additional migration or something. The Miqo'te we have in Eorzea are descendents of that initial migration. If anything they might just say they were motivated to be more open due to the attack. I find it highly likely that they'll say NOTHING though lol, and leave us to just assume that they were always around in these low numbers. The surge in male Miqo'te in the RP community, however, will likely never be brought up ("Sure are a lot of male miqos around these days" is not something I think I'll hear IC), much like the fact that there are a crapton more female Miqo'te in the community than what is "normal" for distribution of the races in Eorzea according to SE is generally ignored. Basically, don't think so much on it. Just play your character and trust that others aren't going to nitpick over these sorts of little details because they just bring up more questions than answers (and questions that remain unanswered by SE). They'll nitpick over stuff that goes against what we DO know, not what we don't.

Welcome!

Welcome. I used to have a girl character that did such things as well to be viewed as a boy, but it was in another setting. It's a fun thing to play. Enjoy.

Welcome! Those who were at that final battle were transported (though we don't know that /everyone/ who was there was), "untouched by time" therefore un-aged. I wouldn't blame her amnesia on the timewarp itself. Perhaps she got knocked upside the head or something during the battle? We also don't know yet where we "appear" afterwords, which we're all hoping to find out soon so we can begin RPing again. Of course, no one is saying you have to take the timerift--a majority of the RPers that I've talked to are NOT taking it/weren't at the battle at all!

Hey, welcome.

We just don't know anything yet (and what people do know they can't say due to NDA from beta). That's why RP is at a stand-still for most of us til they tell us more.

I don't mind some deviation from what we've been given, my own character deviates a bit in some places, but when it becomes excessive I wonder: what's the point in playing a race if you don't like/want to play within their lore/traditions..?

It is text-only. No mics needed. We're only using it for the interim until launch.

LOL IT HAD TO BE A FLAN. She looks appropriately uncomfortable about being covered in pink goop. Thanks for that, haha. :love:

ONE OF US ONE OF US

I just don't think it will be used once ARR comes out, like everyone else is saying. And even now, we have Skype.

This is why I'm jelly of the Hyurs!
