Just looking through avatars and forum postings, I am seeing a trend.... Many of us seem to be leaning toward the Miqo'te Moon-loving kitties. My gaming partner, Dranmarth, will be, we think, Roegadyn. I see a few other races, but lots of Miqo'te.
So, I wanted to ask a question to the community and explore our reasons for the race we choose. A little something to do besides troll for lore and try to develop my character's story having never been in the Hydaelyn world, or any FF world.
What is attracting us about the race we choose? Looks? Ability? Lore? Story?
Why did you choose your race? I know the answers will be different if you are a big FF fan and know the world. That knowledge gives you insight us rank beginners won't have. So, um tell us why you choose your race!
My short answer:
For me, fantasy rpg has a lot to do with going outside my own experience. A reason that I would steer away from Hyur, too human. And that may be the very reason another player chooses them. I love Elves, but geesh I been a LOT of them, wanted something different. The Roegadyn are fierce, but not until we get female models, not for me.
I don't play cross-gender, so I always play female (but that is so a personal thing! Play the gender of your choice, I say. But if you want to share, why do you choose to play male/female?) And I SO wish a game would give me a third choice: a real androgynous race! I dig wearing my rough boots with my long robes and mixing up the stereotypical gender clothes and attitudes. But I digress...
I chose Miqo'te because I do cat rescue, and love the cats who keep me company. I love the other critters on my farm, but feline grace wins, and ok, the tail....having a tail, and ears....I also like their lithe athleticism and aloofness. And I am into dualities, so the Sun/Moon thing works for me.
Enough said: others chime in. Want to hear from you!
