Perception of races?

[Erik Mynhier]

Erik is married to a Keeper, his mother is from Ishgard, served with Roes in the military, and has lived in Ul'dah for over 15 years, so he tends to treat Lalas with the up most respect. So he tends to act in diversity.

lore seems to strongly support a sexual culture for tribal kitties, whereas those who grew up in cities would probably be more conservative.

 

Have you been to Ul'Dah, recently? There's a trio of female Miqo'te dancers there.

 

Indeed. If anything, the sexual objectivity of Seeker miqo'te may quite possibly be a construct of the cosmopolitan, "civilized" parts of Eorzea. It's certainly not something you see in the U tribe.

Yea I've always liked the RP logic that in the big cities you find 'catgirls' playing to fetish and stereotype because of how many outsiders built them up, but outside of that it's a rare thing. It kinda makes sense in that way, and it makes stuff less awkward.

 

For my characters, Drunken Comet makes tons of use of the whole 'savage Roegadyn' stereotype. Since she spent most all of her life as a mercenary and gladiator if people think she's just a dumb meat-head they get caught off guard by her tactical mindset or magics. By the same token she tends to view other races as weaker, even if they're in martial jobs or the like, though recently she's gained some respect for the Miqo'te abilities.

They may not be from Ul'dah originally.  They may have come there later and use their dancing talents as a means to make money, not unlike people who perform on the streets of large cities (not to be confused with people who "work the streets" in large cities).  For some reason, it doesn't seem out of place to me in Ul'dah, but I'd find it strange to see it in Gridania.  Limsa Lominsa could go either way.

 

But that is just my opinion based on my own impressions from the lore and storylines of the different cities, and I could be way off.
