What Your FFXIV Race Says About You! (Male/Female)

Ойындар

What Your FFXIV Race Says About You! (Male & Female) Final Fantasy 14 Has so many different races, and they all have their own visible personalities. But each race always has certain stereotypes. Ranging from silent Au Ra's, to ERP loving Miqo'te. From Hrothgars to Roegadyn. FFXIV will always have crazy diversity when it comes to player race, and today I explain what you are likely to act like if you main a specific race! #ff14 #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv
FFXIV is a game that is loved by many. A big contender for World of Warcraft, but my personal favorite MMO ever. Final Fantasy 14's story is absolutely incredible, and the gameplay itself in my opinion is top notch for an MMO. If you are new to the game and are considering getting it, I would heavily suggest you do so! This video can even help you choose what race to play!
0:00 Hyur
1:21 Elezen
2:35 Lalafell
3:27 Miqo'te
5:18 Roegadyn
6:52 Au Ra
8:07 Hrothgar
10:09 Viera

    I was thinking the same thing. I'd say Highlanders are capable and confident. Males are either gruff no-nonsense types who respect competency, or flashy shit-talkers who don't mind being humbled once in a while, while females are more the friendly and encouraging type. It's a nice "middle ground" race for people who want to come across as both capable and willing to learn. A lot of people are afraid to seem dumb by asking a "stupid" question about the fight mechanics when your group is struggling on some boss that "everybody knows", but if there's a Highlander in your group, that's the person who'll come right out and say, "Hey, how do you keep from dying when the boss (does thing)?" I play a female Highlander, myself, and I don't care if someone thinks I'm dumb for asking a question like that; I just want us to win. And the people who are afraid to ask will benefit from me asking, too.

But yeah, in a game where nearly 85% of the world is filled with catpeople, lizard people, bunny people, the rare Roes, pointy-ear people, and Tiger Pillarmen, sometimes it's refreshing to be a normal human.

I once got a tell saying "hey we have the same hair colors" We didnt. The core hair color was the same but the highlight color were completely different. So basically an excuse to talk to me i guess 🤷‍♀️ But when i play my MHyur, i have a much harder time making friends and ive literally never been approached/helped/ or talk to lol. Its really sad considering i had made him with the intention of being the poster WoL. Whats wrong with playing the story as the charcter that it should be on to see the story as it should be told.

    Mostly because 99% of Hroth players are LGBTQ+, so you pretty much automatically have that aspect of sort of knowing what to expect with interacting with them. Even more so because another large majority of them are also gay furries. So there's common ground between most Hroth players, which makes them easier to approach if you share those same traits.

    Roegadame here from the very first day I set foot in the game! I can certify that we both exist and are in love with our characters. In my experience, we mostly keep to ourselves and enjoy having people literally look up at us, so we tend to seem like rare mythical beings (which I personally like). I can certainly remember most, if not all of the roegadames I've crossed paths with! For me, female Roegadyn was a no-brainer since I tend to play big buff women whenever I have the chance to do so and I was very pleasantly surprised to see how they're more versatile in terms of appearance than the other games' equivalent. You can pretty much make her rugged or sophisticated, clad her in full plate, dress her in a tuxedo or have her wear robes and leather, and she will look amazingly good in every single outfit. Also, I love femroes' murder stares. And yes, I am the resident dommy mommy character of my FC and friends list. Life is good in FFXIV. c: Great video! Looking forward to see more of these ♥

    I love my bunny to death, she is beautiful and perfect and now I cannot imagine playing any other race. Before that I started as a catgirl, but her animations didn’t quite fit me as a person I guess? And then when I picked up the other expansions (that was before free HW) I fantasiaed into female Au Ra, and she was a much better fit for me. I rolled a Xaela before I even knew about their culture but it was absolutely perfect because I’m half buryat (Mongolian small nation), and I felt so immensely connected with Xaela and the Azim Steppe. It reminded me of the tiny village my grandma lived in, flat steppe as far as the eye can see, and far, far in the distance there lie Altai mountains in blue haze. And buuz! Buuz are absolutely delicious by the way, and are a real dish I’ve been eating since childhood. But anyway. Once Shadowbringers rolled around I swapped to a Veena Viera and never looked back except on Halloween because I need my witch hat. But I always change right after. The animations are spot on for me, not too exaggerated, simple, but fluid, and she is absolutely beautiful.

    As an Au Ra player myself, I do agree on the talkative bit. Usually I try to stir up some chat other than the usual greetings, either with helping folks out or cracking a few jokes to lighten up the longer runs like in MSQ or Alliance Roulettes. The dying bit is a bit odd though because I've never really seen other Au Ra die first - its usually whoever is new and just unfamiliar with the current fight mechanics...that and as a PLD main, if I die first that either means the healer is dead, or I've made a terrible decision and things are about to get spicy. Outfit-wise I just use some armors to balance the badass and the beauty...but also I do notice most other female Au Ra players like the more modern looks instead of the fantasy thematics I try to go for with each of my jobs. Definitely looking forward to more vids!

    I have a couple reasons for playing Hyur: - I was recreating my old D&D character, who was a half-elf, and Elezen....definitely don't meet the standard I'm used to when it comes to elf design, so Midlander was my closest bet. - Posture. I cannot stand characters with bad posture when they stand, walk run or sit, so that eliminates pretty much every other race in the game for me (which is a shame cause I do love Hrothgar but man they cannot stand upright). - Glams. Midlanders having a "bAsIc" body structure is actually their strongest asset. Their neutral and realistic body proportions makes them the only race in the game that can pull off any possible glam. That being said, I still think all races are fantastic in their own way 😀

It takes a little more effort to find good glams, but it's totally worth it to look like an amazon empress.

    In regards to Hrothgars being least likely to die in a dungeons, I theorized they're veterans that changed race later when ShB released this race and good portions of them are formerly Roegadyn mains. Roegadyns and hrothgars are, expectedly, doesn't appeal to larger demographics. However, most roegadyns and hrothgars are lgbtq+ adults that prefers masculine aesthetic so opportunity to interact with them in random duty is smaller than other races and most really kept to their close-knit circles of mutuals.

I liked the elezen pretty much for what you said, because I found them really elegant, but I'm struggling to find a glam that I like. It sounds silly but I worry that others might find my character looks bad, and it contributes to my general anxiety if just a little bit.

Nobody was actually paying much attention to me at that time. After I got borred of my character, I switched to a Male Au Ra and I changed armor because it couldn't fit my new appearance. I received quite a lot of message about how good looking my Au Ra is, while keeping him as simple as possible, and looking more into a "Serious" type than a "Edgelord" type.

    I would say, just from a visual perspective, color choice is a big reason your Hroth looks good. The blacks with the pink make a great contrast, without being glaring in any way, and the green eyes are super striking amidst all that black fur and really stand out. *sniff* I play a miqo' boy and I'm so super invested in the story. I loved seeing how my curious, wide-eyed island bumpkin grew into a saavy, powerful, sweet but sassy cinna bun. My boy's hair is actually brown, but it does have a touch of red for variation, just cause i couldn't seem to get any other colors to make good highlights. He is a bit quiet, I guess, mostly going with how the game paints our WoL as a hero of few words, but out of lore, I chat as him quite a lot and my favorite emotes are the more playful, energetic ones. I actually don't like the super flashy armor on my miqo, it just never seemed to suit his parsonality and the story that ended up appearing for me. He's actually rather humble despite being THE freaking WoL, and I keep most of his outfits to reflecting that. More of his more elaborate garb, like the Lunar Envoy set, are for special occassion/official capacity type events. Some how he did not end up being just a 'I wear it cause it looks cool', his personality develpoed way too much in ShB, and now he looks odd in garb that doesn't suit him because I think of how awkward and out of place he would feel being overly gussied up.

    Started Roe because friend called them stupid ("hehe big man in healer robes"). Switched to Elezen after learning about them and playing through Heavensward years ago at its launch. Am very quiet in general due to some social anxiety--would sometimes respond to people just with an emote when I couldn't find or manage words. So "mysterious" might match here! I definitely, accidentally, played into the stereotype you mentioned. (Thankfully, I'm at least past the "just emote" stage of anxiety battling!) ... And then I switched to Hrothgar a month ago due to enjoying bestial/monstrous races and finally seeing one after a long break from the game... Before I learned how much people interact with them or talk to them, especially other Hrothgar. (I have been /pet or /dote by other Hrothgar in almost every Alliance raid we are placed together in, for example.) So that's been a surprising shift in how I engage with the community at times. In a good way, of course! Hrothgar have been helping me further battle my social anxiety. :) big cat, look at that

I’m super shy unless an instance is going badly, and then I either apologize or give advice as gently as I can after asking permission. Softie. My older brother (who got me into the game) is fashion Hrothgar. He’s always coordinated, but is cool and quiet. Really good at the game, usually the last one standing. If I have no idea what I’m doing, I stick to him and almost all the advice I give is something he taught me. Is terribly shy when he gets random compliments all the time, heh. Sis in law is male miqo’te and is the most extroverted person I know. Purple from head to toe with sleek outfits. Her sis is female viera and is either super quiet or talkative, no in between. I occasionally go female lala and I don’t know why, but it takes me out of my shell. I get more social, despite being a huge introvert. Lastly, in our 5 peep typical group, is our big male roe friend. Horny on main 80% of the time, barely wears anything and likes high level play.

    I picked au'ra female because I like to play non-human characters and I often pick the most reptilian race, if it's available, or races with horns. I also have always loved 'dragon girl' artwork and I always wanted to have a race that could pull that off. I even played a 'half-dragon girl' in a LARP when I was younger - au'ra felt made for me. I'm also short, so i could properly represent myself in game without going full lalafell XD I like that they are elegant too, but can be gothed up really easily - mine is very much an edgy DRK girl. Oh, and au'ra males are my favourite male characters in the game too. Love the broad shoulders and gruff edgy boi look.

    As a fem Lalafel, thanks for the support! I try my best to be kind when approached as a trial, even if my conversations dont make alot of sense to those not /telling me lol And the bulky armor thing is exactly why I've been getting into Tanking as a Marauder, seeing this small little girl wear heavy plate armor she forged herself using a really heavy hammer whilst swinging a giant axe is the perfect sight for me.

    I don't play FFXIV nor do I plan to but I saw this on my homepage and got curious. And I was very surprised when I saw the bit about your characters race because I have a similar experience in my game. I play WoW and my character is a Worgen (werewolf) and I CONSTANTLY get compliments on the look of my character, his mog, and his pets. I never get that type of attention on my alts either so its a true headscratcher for me. They're kind of somewhat similar looking from thd cat people in your game too so it's even funnier! Perhaps it's because it's hard to make armor look good of these races?

    Hrothgar player here. I don't get too many compliments on my glamour or my character but I get a lot of people who run up to me just to hug or pet me. It's awkward and the best thing about being a Hrothgar. (Tangent: One time a random Viera girl gave me a new gunblade because she inspected my character and saw it was outdated. She just traded me a new gunblade, complimented me on my glamour and then left. That random Viera was Zepla Moon on Phoenix. I didn't know her back then. She wasn't even streaming that day. She does this in her free time. She wasn't even streaming. That's just what she does off-stream. She is legit just really nice. Tangent over.) I also like meeting other Hrothgar in dungeon because many Hrothgar get excited to see another Hrothgar player. And there are many hugs and pets. Never met a bad Hrothgar player either. I also cannot blame Hrothgar for being either shirtless or in full tank gear. Glamouring for Hrothgar is savage difficulty since a lot of pieces just end up being too bulky and/or just looking weird. So, either you lean into it and go full armour, or you go zero armour as Hrothgar don't look as naked as other races when shirtless, OR you spend hours in front of that glamour dresser. I do all of the above.

    Sometimes I felt like the hunched idle poses also played a little part of making it look weird. Though I use often varied types of clothing from shirtless, to light to heavy. What I usually love about some of the clothing such as sleeveless ones is how well the fur matches on some dyed pieces. But whenever I see anyone talk about shirtless it always brings me of that dialogue Radovan from the Gunbreaker quests once said: ''We Hrothgar are quite used to snow and ice, so we sometimes forget the problems it poses for other races. This morning, a homeless Hyur lad was found lying stone cold in the street.''

    In no particular order, my three favorites are elezen, roegadyn, and hrothgar. I started as a roe back in ARR and through HW, but made an elezen alt to level with some friends on another server (back in the day before world transfers) and fell in love with their animations, so I popped a fantasia and bought a name change on my main. I'm leveling a hrothgar on the side and I love how expressive they are, but I can't bring myself to override my main this time.

    Male Au Ra here, bro i gotta be that 1% i think, my glam for early game was what i called an "off duty knight", basically just used knight boots with a white shirt and my weapon was that slim DRK claymore, when i then got the whole DRK armour i dyed it white. It's only after i started maining NIN in Stormblood that i used red and black, but it's mostly a nod to japan than actual edgyness, bro is more dripped out than geared up let's say. The reason i actually chose Au Ra was because of the idle poses, they're so stylish and are spewing confidence. I even do them irl from time to time, especially that tilted forwand hands on hips posture, does wonders to your back istg. And well, i don't think i'm that much of a reserved dude, maybe at first when i join a new FC or even a new friend group irl cause i like to see how people are without me before making myself known, you know, i wouldn't like to come in with an explosive personality while people there are mostly chill, but aside from that, i'm mostly the memer of the FC (or irl friend group).

    I started as an elf (can't remember which sect, but I went dark elf due to my love of dark elves from the everquest and everquest 2 games)...once I got her to lvl 50, I just couldn't ignore the neck...I hated it. I played less because I didn't like looking at her, etc...I did a fantasia bottle and became a female bunny. I am in love. This character...it's me, only better, somehow. However, I play against the stereotype and as a result of my own introverted self, she is also chill by herself. She doesn't need anyone and doesn't want the attention. I've always believed that sexiness is something to be discovered, not thrown about all willy-nilly like. I also love dressing with male attire, so that's how she dresses and she looks so much sexier than any bunny who's running around in lingerie...My bunny is beautiful and doesn't feel the need to flaunt it.

    Femroe here coming out of the woodwork o/ LOL! While I definitely agree I don't see much of us around, we do exist. mommy vibes aside, the tallest + slimmest+smallest chest size combination makes it so we kinda look androgynous in certain angles, which makes it easy to both wear M/F outfits. It also helps that we're larger than most folks, so any outfit accent is further enlarged when we wear it, making it perfect for detailed outfits.

    I started as Male Roegadyn in 1.0, and then switched to Hrothgar when Shadowbringers dropped for the same reason as you: I like playing the non-standard big guys. I am totally guilty of the cooler and less "edgy" colors in glams, usually going with blue, pink, or purple. I also when I'm feeling cheeky wear a Namazu mask which is ENORMOUS on Hroths. Can confirm that every Hroth I've met and talked with is very nice and super social, even if I'm kinda introverted myself. There was like 6 of us randomly queued together into Aglaia one night and we had a dance/emote session at the end before parting ways.

    Very late reply, but female Roegadyn definitely exist! They're almost always either dommy mommies or Zarya/Vi-style punky ladies (that's me!). They are often really into atypical content (crafting/gathering/fishing/deep dungeons/housing) and are sometimes bullied into lots of gposing. I'm a Machinist and I feel like 90% of the time when I see other femRoes, they're decked out as a Machinist or Reaper. I blame Merlwyb.

Also, she kinda resembles Zarya, although that was purely coincidental.

Started a Tarutaru to try give healing a try, and had some fun... up until I did /attack while in a party, just to hear the battle music. I loved the music while fighting so much I wanted to do that more, so I changed to PLD Taru who became 75. Fast forward to XIV: A Realm Reborn (brand new no expansions), and I brought back my tiny tank, as a Lalafell. Beat Ultima Weapon as off tank, but at one point main tank and rest of party were down except me and one healer, they managed to use a Limit to revive everyone and beat him.
