As a manqote, nothing will drag me away from this race. Even when I make a new character of a different race, I just end up fantasiaing back. Bunny boys won’t be an exception. Manqote for life!
@@krionellaka.thatguy7711 sort of, it gets tiring but it also makes me appreciate seeing fellow Roes or Elezen more often in an ocean of cats, dragons and bunnies.
True at least I don't feel along knowing that someone in a comment 1 month old play the same race as me. The player base don't know that female Roe have one of the best starter clothes in the game specially the chest and the arms(who I end up using more than the chest in the PLD set...who would have thought). I have been able to slap those part on so many sets fitting extremely well on them.

Pro Tip: Supply and Provisioning Missions give enough XP for one or two Levels, and are always Level-Appropriate. As long as you turn in HQ Items only.
Elezen, on paper, should be the best. They're basically Viera but with all the hats and hairstyles. Then, for some reason, SE decided that they would use a literal puppet made of cardboard for the mocap of their animations. Couldn't stand it for more than two days before having to shell out for another fantasia :(

If there was a race war in FFXIV, we all know who the real victors would be: Six monks. Turns out they're all male roes and have the most immaculate "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" glam you have ever seen.
FFXIV 1.0: disaster, unfun, massively panned, had to be completely nuked and remade, *no catboys* FFXIV 2.0: well-regarded, fun, led to critically-acclaimed-expansion-heavensward, *has* catboys Coincidence? You decide, dear viewer, you decide. (seriously though we are a plague and a menace and I feel no remorse)
“Serious” male roe player here, in the last few years I have only seen maybe 3 or 4 male roe that aren’t wearing a mascot head, or a leather daddy glam. Almost 100% of the time they’re in huge tank armor.
This but unironically. I fantasia’d to a Hrothgar so I could cosplay Battle Beast from Invincible. Also I always play monstrous races in MMOs and they were the only race that weren’t another flavour of human.
At least I TRIED to make my female Au Ra look scary, but of course this is completely negated by the fact that she's so short at maximum height that Y'shtola is a full head taller.
This is why you go maximum tiny and just barely tower over the taller lalafels. People mistake you for a lalafel from a distance and are terrified of you.
Same, I tried making my fem au ra intimidating at the start of the game, but ended up being 4'10. I keep her that way because I find it entertaining and don't see a lot of other unnatural-looking fem ra.
You just can’t make female Au Ra look intimating. Best you can is min height, hope people mistake you for a lala, and use the power of “tiny girl is a super strong tank” cliche.
I tried a max height female Au Ra, discovered how goddamn smol she was, and then when I got the Fantasia potion I just decided to lean into it and go with minimum height instead. She is now extra smol.
As a lalafell I do wanna point out that there does exist a sub section of us that are healers/supports that will help you and protect you . . . . Just to sacrifice you to our true lord and saviour the blood lily.
It appears obvious: the Elezen's neck, which can grow to as much as two metres in length, has been selected by evolution because it gives its owner exclusive access to the topmost leaves of the trees, and no other animal can reach them. This, then, is an adaptation designed to avoid competition for food with other animals.
Additionally, would the Elezen find themselves in a crowded place. They are the best equipped to find a suitable spot to wander to and the best route to take to said spot. When compared to shorter races, such as the walking popotos, who are trapped in a large crowd with no way of orienting themselves the height of the Elezen is a magnificent evolutionary asset.
As a FemRoe player, I fear nothing... except the presence of a lallafell. Rumor has it there's a mad baby running around Crystal somewhere. Thankfully, I'm on Primal.
tbh yugiri being a miqo'te in ARR with an au ra tail is kind of genius, especially because they ended up sharing animation sets, just minus the ear movements. wonder if the endwalker ARR changes are going to include backend fixes to properly set yugiri as an au ra. edit: apparently in some animations *her horns move* according to the game’s TCRF page so it seems ear animations weren’t totally disabled in her ARR appearances.

Can confirm playing male Roe for purely memes sake. The first time I ever played FF14, my older brother introduced me. Since it was a subscription based game and I was an 18 year old who just lost her job to a pandemic, I knew I'd probably only play for a month. I decided to make a meme character: a male Roe.

@@yanicuze8820 I’m not sure they CAN. I think it’s pretty engrained in the character creator. Would probably require another new engine build to fix it.
Yeah, I overall love my M Au Ra, but the hips have always bugged me and made certain outfits look really weird on him. Not nearly as bad as Elezen necks, but still rather strange looking and probably the only feature about him that I’m not a fan of.
As a viera player, yeah this is completely accurate. I love my bun to death but I could never in good conscience say viera is a great race because of all the limits
@@opsidiann5131 If you dont mind not having hats and having very limited hairstyle options (about 1/3 default options and no more unlockable) then give it a try, but maybe keep a spare fantasia after just in case
Screw hats, I want my bunny boy. As soon as Endwalker is released I am kissing my edgy goth vampire elf goodbye and saying hello to my edgy goth vampire bunny 💯
I'm glad others know that playing the Literally Just Human (TM) race in FFXIV is still FAR less basic than picking a catgirl/dragon girl I would've actually fantasia'd to a Viera if it weren't for the fact *they can't wear hats* With that being said Thighlander for L I F E
As a Hyur player I can confirm that the variety of options was a bit overwhelming and decided to keep things simple. Legit surprised they got that high up on the ranking.
As a newbie sprout myself i just watched nearly every giude and video about FF14 all over the youtube, and i must say: this guy is the best content creator ive ever seen through whole of my 16 years mmo carrier. Praise the unholiness!
I also play Elezen.. i mean atm. So far I find their general appearance in cutscenes to be more elegant and in a way more powerful, stronger than my main which is a Miqo'te. Even with ''badass, serious'' armor she retains an air of playfulness.. I think it's the ears and the bone structure of their face are more ''cutely'' than that of Elezen. (Possible) Spoilers: The best example I can give is the cutscene where your character had just returned to Ishgard on Hraesvelgr's back and walks toward Nidhogg while all the npc's are running the opposite. To me, that scene looked so much more powerful on my Elezen than it did on my Miqo'te.
The necks are fine to me. I think its how long our elezen legs are that can ruin some glams for them. I always would goan at how some glams i tried making up would look better on catgirls or au ra girls than on my elezen. Yet i always managed to make some that do look good on my elezen, thou it still sting it would always look better on the other female races. I WANT ELEZEN SUPREMACY
When i first started playing this game before stormblood came out I picked lala because I liked the smaller character model. After learning how demonized my race is stereotyped as, I refuse to fantasia because now I just embrace the meme. We caused npcs to not be able to interact with the warrior of light due to our small models, but cutscenes are 100 times better as a lala. Its really hilarious having npcs praise how you're a mighty eikon slayer when they can punt you like a football if they felt like it.
Don't act like the WoL isn't capable of killing every single character in the story single-handedly. And by single-handedly, I mean inviting a team of 8 WoL's into an instanced area where they can repeatedly attempt the fight while using statistically optimal penta-melded gear and tinctures over the course of hundreds of deaths and eventually succeeding. It's actually rather astonishingly how little the game acknowledges your team-mate's existence. It almost exclusively treats every encounter as if the WoL solo'd the encounter, despite having a team of 4, 8, or 24 WoL's.
@@Mathignihilcehk I like when the game acknowledges the fact you aren't soloing things by having the NPC's say something like "let me know when you and your adventurer buddies are ready to go".
@@Nempo13 I don't... it makes me feel a little bit sad that I don't even have 1 friend who is willing to play this game with me. But otherwise yes, I completely agree with you.
FFXIV has answers to your choice of waifu. If you want the onee-san type, you go with Viera. If you want the tomboyish type, you go with Mi'qote. If you want the cute type, you go with Aura. If you want the gentle type, you go with Hyur. If you want the cool type, you go with Elezen. If you want the MILF type, you go with Roegadyn. NO LALAFELL YOU SICKFUCK WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
The only thing that bothers me about this tier list is you didn't separate mid and highlanders, if you did you might had to add a tier for Thighlanders, the Femroe Lite.
As an Alezan main, I have to agree on how offputing the neck is... at first. But you end up getting over it pretty fast, especially when your fear starts to get more and more convoluted with giant shoulder-pads and neck ornaments..
I made a Elezen because I came over from Warcraft and I mained a blood elf. This was the closest I could get (better version if you ask me) so I'd completely disagree with that take sir.
Chair: "Now onto the basic bitches. Think of Starbucks, Live Laugh Love, and Par romantic comedies Me: *sips Starbucks while K-Drama plays in the background while doing Duty's
All I care about is that you put femroes on top, where they belong. Hellguard femroes in particular have a big Breath of the Wild gerudo vibe which I'm all about. Seriously tho it's the only female model that isn't dainty with matchstick arms! I love how you can easily rock huge armor and be that big badass gal, but you can also be cute :) Being twice the size of the Leveilleur twins is also a big plus, cuz it looks like I'm the Scion's babysitter in cutscenes aha
Ah you got me with that one. Might fantasa over to FemRoe now, I always feel like i'm babysitting those two when i do MSQ as WHM. Just gotta get a good look...
@@archmagemc3561 Aha yes!! Join the club! Max height femroe is legit taller than everybody in the MSQ (except maybe Gosetsu?) and I feel like it really suits the WoL vibe - this larger-than-life figure, this living legend being quietly supportive of everyone and getting shit done. Forgot to mention that towering over the big baddies in cutscenes is also a plus.
@@shaetane Only problem, FemRoes don't really have butts/hips like au ra do. I don't get a very well pronounced hourglass bottom in spellcaster robes with them.
@@archmagemc3561 I guess that's fair, they aren't that well cut for most robes, but I'm sure you can find something nice on FFXIV Armoury. The lvl80 WHM robe (with the jacket top thing) I find suits my femroe super well! And look at Queen Gunnhildr from the Bozjan Southern Front, as far a beautiful femroes in robes she's out there :O
I honestly went with catboy cause I considered their animations the better ones. The only downside is their claw hands, but thankfully we can change the posture. Their body shape is also better, gear tends to look the coolest on catboys.
Yeah, my brother-in-law told me the same thing about Viera, jokes on him, when I played WoW I literally always had my headgear hidden. That being said, it's hard not to fantasia to Femroe.
I'm a new player kinda, recently i did /pose with the chief bunny outfit on my Femroe character to meme with my friends since i had som mgp and getting the regalía Is Easy, anyway as i was showing and memeing with my character i noticed there were like 15 other people just there watching how i did random shit in the bunny outfit as a Femroe Lmao, that was hilarious as hell when we noticed
4:00 That's not quite accurate Everyone knows a lalafell born when anything bad happen to anyone Tripped over a stone, that's how Tataru was born Got hit by a car, boom, It's yo boi Teledji adeledji
honestly never understood the desire to play as a human in any fantasy setting, to me it's the most basic bitch vanilla thing to do, and it's why i loved dragon age origins, since you could choose what race you wanted (for the most part)
This man has gathered this information through generations and is spot on. I just stared playing today and I’m picking my character or he’s right. Ladies and gentlemen meet the next au ra or perhaps miqo te in the game
I may be a dude playing a fem roegadyn, but my character is a paladin queen, soon to be dark knight queen. And I love her. She is basically the opposite of me, she's tall, multi-talented, loved by many, and deserves all loves and kisses.
I chose highlander from the beginning, never have Fantasia'd. I love her the way she is, even though I've had people laugh at me because I'm the only Hyur in the whole raid. 😂
As a Lalafell player i can confirm that every Lalafell is either an innocent and cute cinnamon roll or evil to the point it makes Ascians take a step back and go "What the F". Also the second category is by far the larger one.
lalafell warrior here, i can confirm that the evil demon lalafells are common, as my desire to cleave everything in two legit made me need to new game plus the story sense i skipped it the first time around, so i could get back to cleaving everything
I may never be skinny enough to be a Viera, but I can at least pump iron and crush people's skulls between the afflatus misery that are my thighs as a fem Roe. Roegadyn are the beauty standard now.
This is like only video about FFXIV races I've seen, which does not use "femroes dont exist" -joke, which is nice. I fantasia'd from male au ra to femroe about a month ago. I fully admit reasons were: Merlwyb, amazon queen/mommy look and overall having a thing for femroe aesthetic. I want Merlwyb as Trust, goddamnit.
Me, Femroe player, seeing the start of the video and sweating as I see where our male counterparts are. Can confirm btw. The amount of thigh comments and "crush me" comments are plentiful and plain disres- *pockets some Gil* harmless and sweet C:
Every villain in the game is a lala or 3 lala's stacked on top of each other in a trench coat.

Considering the first player I met was literally Ganondorf, can confirm that males of that race are a meme
A question that's always plagued me: why do M Au Ra have such wide child birthing hips? Are they the Seahorse equivalent of the FF world?
o.o
@@yanicuze8820 I really love the Male Au Ra look, I suggest not getting rid of it but make it adjustable so everyone can have them to their own taste. I have no problems because I value the uniqueness in all the races of the game so let people have more options instead
@@yanicuze8820 I’m not sure they CAN. I think it’s pretty engrained in the character creator. Would probably require another new engine build to fix it.
Yeah, I overall love my M Au Ra, but the hips have always bugged me and made certain outfits look really weird on him. Not nearly as bad as Elezen necks, but still rather strange looking and probably the only feature about him that I’m not a fan of.
I knew there was a good reason why I liked male Au'Ra so much~
As a viera player, yeah this is completely accurate. I love my bun to death but I could never in good conscience say viera is a great race because of all the limits
Do you think changing from catboy to bunny boy is a bad bet then?
@@opsidiann5131 Depends on if you like hats
@@opsidiann5131 If you dont mind not having hats and having very limited hairstyle options (about 1/3 default options and no more unlockable) then give it a try, but maybe keep a spare fantasia after just in case
Screw hats, I want my bunny boy. As soon as Endwalker is released I am kissing my edgy goth vampire elf goodbye and saying hello to my edgy goth vampire bunny 💯
@@opsidiann5131 See I dislike hats so i'd be fine with that but you do you!
Fantasia’d into FemRoe when I learned it’s the least common on the server… having to kneel to pet catbois is a mood.
Fantasia´d yesterday to a FemRoe too....it´s the best thing :D
tall woman good.
might fantasia to bunny boi later but doubt
As a short catboy I wholeheartedly support your decision
@@seakhajiit a yes a fellow short catboi, it is adorable just watching a taller person just kneel to pet us XD
Though I hardly ever get any pets :'(
@@PrincessofKeys I just pet people first
I Fantasia’d from Au Ra to Elezen. No regrets. Elezen starting clothes, particularly the boots, are very nice for glamours…
I'm glad others know that playing the Literally Just Human (TM) race in FFXIV is still FAR less basic than picking a catgirl/dragon girl
I would've actually fantasia'd to a Viera if it weren't for the fact *they can't wear hats*
With that being said
Thighlander for L I F E
As a Hyur player I can confirm that the variety of options was a bit overwhelming and decided to keep things simple. Legit surprised they got that high up on the ranking.
Male Hyur have good facial hair options which was my main criteria. One can hope for a better beard selection as it's lacking in FFXIV
@@randalica92 more beards and make beard styles universal instead of bound to a face type. plz papa yosh
@@spectre722 yup, also so many games are absolute garbage when it comes to beards in general
As a proud femroe player, I agree!
Catgirls are nice though. They make my character lean or even crouch when I pet them and I find that amusing.
As a newbie sprout myself i just watched nearly every giude and video about FF14 all over the youtube, and i must say: this guy is the best content creator ive ever seen through whole of my 16 years mmo carrier. Praise the unholiness!
"Male Au Ra run like Crash Bandicoot"
That's best thing i've evet heard in my entire life
That last second plot twist tho
As an elezen player, I'm offended. We are PROUD of our long necks, thank you very much.
Forgot you even excisted..
I also play Elezen.. i mean atm. So far I find their general appearance in cutscenes to be more elegant and in a way more powerful, stronger than my main which is a Miqo'te. Even with ''badass, serious'' armor she retains an air of playfulness.. I think it's the ears and the bone structure of their face are more ''cutely'' than that of Elezen.
(Possible) Spoilers: The best example I can give is the cutscene where your character had just returned to Ishgard on Hraesvelgr's back and walks toward Nidhogg while all the npc's are running the opposite. To me, that scene looked so much more powerful on my Elezen than it did on my Miqo'te.
My main since 2.0 launch started as an elzen.
She was a victim of the great en-cattening that followed the release of the veteran rewards fantasia.
look at this photograph, everytime I do I look giraffe
The necks are fine to me. I think its how long our elezen legs are that can ruin some glams for them. I always would goan at how some glams i tried making up would look better on catgirls or au ra girls than on my elezen. Yet i always managed to make some that do look good on my elezen, thou it still sting it would always look better on the other female races. I WANT ELEZEN SUPREMACY
Highlander should really be its own classification as they use a completely separate model from Midlander.
apparently even im not safe.
Scared the **** out of me
When i first started playing this game before stormblood came out I picked lala because I liked the smaller character model. After learning how demonized my race is stereotyped as, I refuse to fantasia because now I just embrace the meme.
We caused npcs to not be able to interact with the warrior of light due to our small models, but cutscenes are 100 times better as a lala. Its really hilarious having npcs praise how you're a mighty eikon slayer when they can punt you like a football if they felt like it.
Don't act like the WoL isn't capable of killing every single character in the story single-handedly. And by single-handedly, I mean inviting a team of 8 WoL's into an instanced area where they can repeatedly attempt the fight while using statistically optimal penta-melded gear and tinctures over the course of hundreds of deaths and eventually succeeding.
It's actually rather astonishingly how little the game acknowledges your team-mate's existence. It almost exclusively treats every encounter as if the WoL solo'd the encounter, despite having a team of 4, 8, or 24 WoL's.
@@Mathignihilcehk I like when the game acknowledges the fact you aren't soloing things by having the NPC's say something like "let me know when you and your adventurer buddies are ready to go".
@@Nempo13 I don't... it makes me feel a little bit sad that I don't even have 1 friend who is willing to play this game with me.
But otherwise yes, I completely agree with you.
FFXIV has answers to your choice of waifu.
If you want the onee-san type, you go with Viera.
If you want the tomboyish type, you go with Mi'qote.
If you want the cute type, you go with Aura.
If you want the gentle type, you go with Hyur.
If you want the cool type, you go with Elezen.
If you want the MILF type, you go with Roegadyn.
NO LALAFELL YOU SICKFUCK WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
I'd argue that, based on animations alone, miqote lean more into genki girl territory and roegadyn are the tomboys
I think you mean dommy mommy type with Roegadyn.
Elezen are more milf-type imo. Damn, I love me some elezen mommies.
@@Aivas1 Highlanders are the dom moms
@@yuhboik.g.8118 nah, Highlander is tomboys, they even got different /emote animations to derplanders.
Dread it.
Run from it.
I main Elezen all the same.
Brother...
As a Lalafell with a pompadour and a soul patch I approve this message.
As a fellow Lalafell, but with a mullet and the pointy mustache, I must also approve of this video.
I feel like you only ever have a pompadour if you're a lalafell. A meme haircut for a meme race.
My god how dare you
@@GameGod77 You spelled "master" race wrong my dude.
It hit me halfway in that female roe will be on top.
They're always the one on top.
every time I'm feeling good about my cool looking Elezen character, a video like this pops up to remind me of just how blind this community is.
The only thing that bothers me about this tier list is you didn't separate mid and highlanders, if you did you might had to add a tier for Thighlanders, the Femroe Lite.
Thighlander...
My fucking sides are in orbit, thanks.
I've been told that the Elezen necks give them no gag reflex. I don't know if this is true, but I can say I cannot recall an Elezen ever gagging.
As an Alezan main, I have to agree on how offputing the neck is... at first.
But you end up getting over it pretty fast, especially when your fear starts to get more and more convoluted with giant shoulder-pads and neck ornaments..
that thing about Femroe isn't shocking considering I've had *multiple* people make passes at me while tanking dungeons
mainly Lalafel
Ive been playing femroe for 2 years now and its true, everybody else feels so small all the time you truly are above everybody else
I made a Elezen because I came over from Warcraft and I mained a blood elf. This was the closest I could get (better version if you ask me) so I'd completely disagree with that take sir.
Chair: "Now onto the basic bitches. Think of Starbucks, Live Laugh Love, and Par romantic comedies
Me: *sips Starbucks while K-Drama plays in the background while doing Duty's
Catgirls: "You had us in the first half"
All I care about is that you put femroes on top, where they belong. Hellguard femroes in particular have a big Breath of the Wild gerudo vibe which I'm all about.
Seriously tho it's the only female model that isn't dainty with matchstick arms! I love how you can easily rock huge armor and be that big badass gal, but you can also be cute :)
Being twice the size of the Leveilleur twins is also a big plus, cuz it looks like I'm the Scion's babysitter in cutscenes aha
Ah you got me with that one. Might fantasa over to FemRoe now, I always feel like i'm babysitting those two when i do MSQ as WHM. Just gotta get a good look...
@@archmagemc3561 Aha yes!! Join the club! Max height femroe is legit taller than everybody in the MSQ (except maybe Gosetsu?) and I feel like it really suits the WoL vibe - this larger-than-life figure, this living legend being quietly supportive of everyone and getting shit done. Forgot to mention that towering over the big baddies in cutscenes is also a plus.
@@shaetane Only problem, FemRoes don't really have butts/hips like au ra do. I don't get a very well pronounced hourglass bottom in spellcaster robes with them.
@@archmagemc3561 I guess that's fair, they aren't that well cut for most robes, but I'm sure you can find something nice on FFXIV Armoury. The lvl80 WHM robe (with the jacket top thing) I find suits my femroe super well!
And look at Queen Gunnhildr from the Bozjan Southern Front, as far a beautiful femroes in robes she's out there :O
To be honest, thighlander girls also looks fitter than most girl character in the game.
Appreciating amazon muscle mommies? Ah I see you're a man of culture as well.
Ah, it's nice to know that my Fem Roe Hellsguard is truly the top. She sadly get loads of Lalfel asking to crush them though...
I named my male Roegadyn "Chudd Thuddwell" and I love him very much
I honestly went with catboy cause I considered their animations the better ones. The only downside is their claw hands, but thankfully we can change the posture. Their body shape is also better, gear tends to look the coolest on catboys.
Same. I used to be a midlander male but the emote animations are so boring. Catboys have a lot of personality to them.
It bothers me the 3 of their standing poses has them looking at the ground 15 yalms ahead of them instead of straight out like everyone else.
In my FC of over 250 active players, I am the lone Elezen.
Im a male rog. That looks normal i think
Ingame name: Lord Masterbaiter
Yeah, my brother-in-law told me the same thing about Viera, jokes on him, when I played WoW I literally always had my headgear hidden.
That being said, it's hard not to fantasia to Femroe.
Seeing a Femroe always brightens my day.
Did not expect a Disco Elysium reference!
More people should play the best RPG ever made.
That's actually a 2nd Disco Elysium reference featuring Measurehead on his channel.
@@RevanBC yet people still dont know Planescape torment
Just started playing FF14 a couple days ago. Made a female Roegadyn. Glad to see I’m already part of the superior race.
*That moment when you actually play a male Roe that's not in speedo or Shrek* xD;
Shrek wore armor too
My male Roe wouldnt be caught dead wearing a speedo! But me in RL is a different story lol.
I'm a new player kinda, recently i did /pose with the chief bunny outfit on my Femroe character to meme with my friends since i had som mgp and getting the regalía Is Easy, anyway as i was showing and memeing with my character i noticed there were like 15 other people just there watching how i did random shit in the bunny outfit as a Femroe Lmao, that was hilarious as hell when we noticed
Trust me, playing an old man lalafell always bring a smile during epic cinematics.
Glam up as a Tamra dwarf and rewatch some of them. It makes it even more amusing due to the no facial expression at all.
4:00
That's not quite accurate
Everyone knows a lalafell born when anything bad happen to anyone
Tripped over a stone, that's how Tataru was born
Got hit by a car, boom, It's yo boi Teledji adeledji
MRoes so powerful they broke through the entire caste system and now live outside it.
I used my free one to go bunnygirl, because everything about them is perfect. EXCEPT THEY CAN'T HAVE HATS!
Give me a pair of scissors for my ears man!
I really love standing next to taller races epsecially the Roes and Au ra
Its actually quite intimidating but I find when you hug then adorable lol
2:00 here you go chat, see you on Tuesday.
honestly never understood the desire to play as a human in any fantasy setting, to me it's the most basic bitch vanilla thing to do, and it's why i loved dragon age origins, since you could choose what race you wanted (for the most part)
This man has gathered this information through generations and is spot on. I just stared playing today and I’m picking my character or he’s right. Ladies and gentlemen meet the next au ra or perhaps miqo te in the game
Been watching for a week and this channel already skyrocketed to favorite FF14 channel, the humor is just on point
As a femroe player, I have never before felt so appreciated.
Yes!!! I'm at the tippity top. Been rocking Fem Roe since day 1. Seeing Queen Gunhildr also reassured me my decision. She's 😍.
We get so little rep in the MSQ it made me so happy to see her too! She's beautiful and badass and I need to make some fanart of her at some point.
@@shaetane Please do! I will look forward to it!
I may be a dude playing a fem roegadyn, but my character is a paladin queen, soon to be dark knight queen. And I love her. She is basically the opposite of me, she's tall, multi-talented, loved by many, and deserves all loves and kisses.
One day our FemRoe overlords will rise up to take control....and I shall be there to simp for them.

when you talked about lalafels and endwalker i was really annoyed at the spoiler, then realized it hasn't even come out yet XD
When you play Fashion Fantasy as a Femroe and sleep well knowing you’re the best
I chose highlander from the beginning, never have Fantasia'd. I love her the way she is, even though I've had people laugh at me because I'm the only Hyur in the whole raid. 😂
We lala are more like shin stabbers but you got it right XD trying to make my lalafell barbarian look menacing was a feat in itself.
went from miquote to femroe when i saw one with the yorha type-51 robe of casting
the lalafell consortium took notes of your findings.
you will pay for this
As a Lalafell player i can confirm that every Lalafell is either an innocent and cute cinnamon roll or evil to the point it makes Ascians take a step back and go "What the F".
Also the second category is by far the larger one.
lalafell warrior here, i can confirm that the evil demon lalafells are common, as my desire to cleave everything in two legit made me need to new game plus the story sense i skipped it the first time around, so i could get back to cleaving everything
@@toastiewulf I just like blowing things up!
He thinks Roegadyn players wear speedos for the meme...?
Oh you sweet innocent thing.
Shhh! No one tells him!
I may never be skinny enough to be a Viera, but I can at least pump iron and crush people's skulls between the afflatus misery that are my thighs as a fem Roe.
Roegadyn are the beauty standard now.
This is like only video about FFXIV races I've seen, which does not use "femroes dont exist" -joke, which is nice. I fantasia'd from male au ra to femroe about a month ago. I fully admit reasons were: Merlwyb, amazon queen/mommy look and overall having a thing for femroe aesthetic. I want Merlwyb as Trust, goddamnit.
Me, Femroe player, seeing the start of the video and sweating as I see where our male counterparts are. Can confirm btw. The amount of thigh comments and "crush me" comments are plentiful and plain disres- *pockets some Gil* harmless and sweet C:
Began my adventure a few days ago on Uldah and I can see how Lalafel is indeed a war criminal
I've actually never cared about hats in mmos, I like to see my character's face in all cutscenes xD.
as someone who’s played maybe 20 hours of FFXIV and has no idea why this was in my recommended vids… hell yeah FemRoe baby, we da best!
Serious male roes... SHALL TRANCEND THE CASTE SYSTEM! YOU FOOL, YOU'VE GIVEN US TOO MUCH POWER!
As a male Roegadyn player the truth hurts. I don't think there's enough of us in the world to even form a full party
Finally, the truth.
As a tall, dominant female Roegadyn I approve this. Thanks
YES! YES! just like i said a million times before, FEMROE master race!
