If you like PVP, apparently Lalafell is the way to go. I love my Roegadyn though. =] There is only one downside to it that I can think of, and that's the camera angle. When yer head is that high up, it can make for awkward first-person viewing when you are in a fight. You often end up looking directly downwards at enemies who are at yer feet. I imagine the problem could be the opposite with the Lalafell, always looking up! If you prefer third person viewing, though, then I imagine it wouldn't really matter at all. Personally, I favour tanking, so I like being a big neo-galka. You look the part, you feel the part... and it's easier for people to select you when healing. Although most good healers just tend to avoid using the mouse and prefer using macros / keys for that end, at least, Danielle does.

I like the look o the beastman strongholds. If that music is the music for each stronghold, I'm beginning to consider putting the music back on for FFXIV. I've had it off for ages, but with the chocobo music, the Ul'dah music (I'm unsure if it's always the way it was during the fire festival, but if it is, that's awesome) and whatnot... the music seems to just keep getting better. Maybe it's just the Thanalan music I didn't care for.
