So which race will you be starting as in ARR?

[Aulayna]

Most likely a Miqo'te - possible a Lalafell!

[Del Murder]

Either a male Miqo'te or a male Hume (or whatever they call it). Lalafell's are much less creepy than their original design but still too creepy for me to play.

[Ouch!]

I haven't decided yet, and I'll probably play around with the character creator in beta now that they're unlocking all of the races. I played through all of 1.x as a Dunesfolk Lalafell (and played as a tarutaru in FFXI), but after spending nearly a decade as a miniature guy, I'm leaning towards a change. Either male Highlander Hume or male Sea Wolf Roegadyn. I'm leaning toward the latter right now, but we'll see what happens when we get full customization options.

[Futan]

I was a midlander Hyur because I'm boring like that in 1.x. Prooooobably will be the same but possibly a male Miqo'te. That's if I even play :x, my interest has been waning lately.

[Roogle]

Do you think that the Tarutaru equivalent will be as popular as it was in Final Fantasy XI?

[Rostum]

Dunesfolk Lalafel for me!

[Mirage]

Female Miqote and female roegadyn.

So which race will you be starting as?

[Loony BoB]

Male Sea Wolf Roegadyn, without question. <3

Roogle: The Lalafell are indeed rather popular, last I checked.

So which race will you be starting as?

I only play as humans in games. I don't like fantastic races. I don't think I've ever been anything but a human before unless I am forced to choose another race, like in the single player campaigns of Starcraft.

[Laddy]

Miqo'te, most likely. Perhaps a Hyur or Elezen on later characters.

Has anyone every told you that you're a bit narrow-minded?

If not, I'm doing it now.

[Loony BoB]

I don't think it's narrow-minded to prefer to play as a human instead of a fantasy-race. It's just a preference, and everyone's entitled to that.

Who cares if Roogle doesn't want to play as an elf?

[Mirage]

That statement wasn't based on his post in this thread alone .

I'm sure Roogle took my joke, though.

[Xannidel]

I am having a tough choice between a male Elezen or a male Lalafell. The Elezen remind me of Elves and the Lalafell are just adorable.
