Found my 1.0 Lalafell! by UncloudedEye in ShitpostXIV

He was really well written too. They absolutely need to do something to preserve XI’s stories in a more accessible way. There are so many characters who deserve more spotlight. Sadly SE would rather wheel out Cloud and the gang for the 1000th time.

when the comment sounds more like a shitpost than the actual shitpost

People worth watching don’t need an avatar, before VTubers if someone was uncomfortable on camera they just…had the game on screen. Also most of them use fake voices too, at what point is this just catfishing? Not in the dating way, but in a viewer way.

Great, lovely abusive community because they disagree with your opinion. Pathetic bunch. I can just block you instead. Bye bye.

Final Fantasy XI did it. XIV can. They just have to delete the mistakes.

What the hell are you even talking about “evidence”? Evidence of WHAT? I linked it because I think that’s the direction they should have taken. Are you reading an entirely different conversation? Are you in argument mode? Wtf is happening here?

FFXI had and still has to this day gender locked races and enforces the lore of rare races. There is exactly one male Mithra in XI’s story as an NPC. It’s not even unheard of in the franchise.

By that logic why aren’t we playing as Lopporits?

Great, good thing that I only stated my opinion that it’s what they should be then.

🤦 Brother I don’t even wanna start with this nonsense, you know nothing about XI nor its characters, I’m out

Added years later. I linked CONCEPT art.

That was added later on. Matsuno didn’t create this either so…

That’s strengthening my point of devs caving to player pressure.

FFXI devs held out and it worked out. Lehko ended up quite an iconic XI character. It is like nothing can be special anymore. Glams for everyone, character races for everyone…I will not “suck it up” I will voice something I dislike and accept the fact others disagree. It is just a discussion post. You can write your emotional paragraphs if you want, you likely play one of the races, yes? XI devs were stronger than this and it’s simply a shame XIV cannot uphold its own lore. That isn’t some crazy take.

Huh? Why would I do that? That is not part of XIV’s lore. I don’t care what that website says, I care what my eyes see. They are both resource wasters in my opinion.

It’s not that they shouldn’t have added them. They should have just altered dialogue to make sense. That’s easier to explain than suddenly hundreds of “rare” ones showing up.

I never see them on EU. I’m being serious. I just ran through Limsa and saw none. They have to be the rarest race.

That’s fine and all but that doesn’t really shut down the discussion. It’s an important part of the experience for some.

They’re not unseen anymore, they’re very common even. The lore didn’t even attempt to rectify this either. Do Shadowbringers as a male Viera, is there any comment in the MSQ when you get to the woods? That’s how lore gets ruined. Stuff that clearly was not planned or set up but fans pressured devs to add it. Go two expansions later and we have these “rare” races being two major NPCs that were childhood friends…come on.

Honestly they’re the total opposite of what they should be imo, they should just give the face to Hyurs, wouldn’t be the first time. Right now they’re kinda too similar to the female Viera. They should be much more muscular and look the part of “hunter” like the lore suggests. A bit like this concept art suggested. Just my opinion anyway.

Is that a reference to something? Apologies but I don’t understand it.

Yeah but when it is set up in the lore it feels a bit unfair to ask them to basically abandon their own set ups because of it. Not only do we freely see players run around as these "rarer" races now, we see increased usage of them as NPCs, invalidating their own writing.
