The FFXIV Female Race Tierlist

Apologies in advance for my singing and music production, but hope you enjoyed this video, as it was one hell of a hurdle to jump over, and just a DISCLAIMER this is purely out of entertainment and not factual or complete opinions, I was just bored and wanted to get some fun idea out the way and expressed in form of idiotic humor. But thank you so much for watching, hope to see you again soon, take care~!

I was thinking “I’m an aura player and I’m not insane.” Then I remember I run around naked beating the shit out of enemies with my bare fists and realized, yes I am

[@benjaminfast5496]

Do you do that in the game, in real life, or both? For science. 🧐

[@Taco-rd5ce]

This is one of the tier list of all time

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Not sure if this is a positive sign, but I'll take it!

It sure is buddy…it sure is…

[@TheAdventGamer]

"Crippling addiction to Nekopara, Anime, Hentai, and other Japanese content" Yes, yes, yes and yes. Basically on the Girls side I've nailed it down to either Miqo'te or Au Ra as I have a fierce love of all things anime but I'm also batshit crazy.

[@roast_beef]

i think thats just called being a weeb

I like how you describe Au Ra as basically the most crazy and weird of the bunch, then put them in S-tier lol

[@Exceltiaawesome]

Reasons for playing lalafell: > Cute, makes me feel happy looking at her > Really really expressive faces and reactions in cutscenes which honestly improves immersion for me. > Small but powerful > Feel fast > Social experience +100, you're instantly part of a welcoming and loving community the second you become a lala. Other Lalas flock to you and you to others, and you can more freely approach other players to chat because you're instantly less threatening.

[@thechadyboi6691]

The welcoming community? Bro one of my friends once made a cult when he was a lalafell that basically acted like the mafia, stealing people's teeth and shins, shit is crazy

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm really glad I could do that, thank you so much for commenting your thoughts!

[@Saora]

I've said it on another video, but the deciding factor for me playing a lalafell was the eyes and animations. I love the dunesfolk eyes. The colors really stand out.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

And also because you can be a menace to society while still looking cute

[@darkjackl999]

The eyes were also what made me go from maybe playing Au'ra to yup 100% playing this, i love the dual color eye thing

[@ethanbaker905]

"Their animations arent too over the top." Viera's animations aren't too animated in general lol. They are as expressive as wind up minions in the game.

[@apathy2454]

I love the viera animations I like how relaxed and sassy they look.

[@Ya0w]

Eight months later for this comment i have to vent that the Viera i was acquainted with was Tactics Advance and they were very expressive, so one can say i was a little disappointed with ff14s iteration. In contrast, Highlander ladies are super expressive for some reason.

[@ethanbaker905]

Tactics Viera we great, I think they were very sold on how they were framed in FF11 with Fran and ran with that. Still it would be nice if they had more omph to their posture.

[@pidgy8927]

I went in with the full intention of being a tank main, and Lalafell tanks are hilarious Since then I'm stuck, since any taller race makes me feel sick once I move

Not offended because I'm the rare male that plays a male. Really satisfies that itch of being surrounded by hot waifus.

honestly wish I played this game on Endwalker release to look like the OG WoL Midlander Hyur, but oh well Xd

[@TheAdventGamer]

@@SamTheLemonBoy You know, I did the same but I went and added a face scar and gave my Midlander Silver-white hair. Piss poor way of differentiating myself but I like silver hair. Then I wanted to go Au Ra. Because I started playing on Heavensward release and Au Ra was my very first template character I made on character creation, I dunno just seemed right. Now I'm in my own hell trying to figure out what to do with my character.

I will never understand anyone that puts femroe's so low. Maybe I am just crazy. They are the more attractive and sexiest race/gender combo to me. I installed knew I wanted to make one the moment I saw them. I actually thought I was picking the most popular pick when I first got into the game. Little did I see I was wrong. I just don't think people know how to design one. People say it's hard to design a sexy femroe but it was easy to me. My femroe gets hella compliments

[@richardsafar3951]

As a person that was every race possible already. I stick with Hyur Midlanders and noone can change my mind.!!! Also lets do a quick Tier list wowee: 1.Midlanders ofc 2.Buns (can we please use hats) 3. Roes yes siiiir (kinda hard to glam ngl) 4.Highlanders mhm 5. Aura and cats 6.Elezen would be higher if they didnt look so silly most of the time

[@DuskEalain]

As both a Roe Lass and a glam enthusiast I'd say the best approach for Roes is to account for their bulk. More casual/modern glams tend to look rough as do a lot of "sleek" outfits (like the Omega ones), but give them a good flowing dress/robe, some heavy plates, or a good old fashioned pirate outfit and you're pretty solid. Getting the pieces is probably the hardest part in my experience because a lot of their good looks are locked behind either master crafting, Eureka/Bozja stuff, or specific pieces in specific raid sets. One thing I think a lot of Roe players unintentionally do is screw up their color palette by not accounting for the color of their Roe's skin and/or hair. I've seen a handful of clashing colors (i.e bright orange with green skin looks gaudy usually) or just nothing really standing out (i.e dull whites on light grey skin). Obviously it's subjective but I might someday make something larger talking about this for all the races because I love how surprisingly deep getting a good glam is.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I used to play Midlander Hyur but I just loved the animations and voice of Au'RAa more, so piss

[@richardsafar3951]

[@traugdor]

there's the difference. Sam only reviewed the stupid sunkitties and didn't review the objectively superior moonkitties with their gorgeous round eyes and actual fangs. Most people over look them, same as the Duskwights because they're not the default.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

@@traugdor That is true, but the reason why I didn't go over the other types were because they weren't super different (Like Highlander vs Midlander Hyur) But that is definitely true that they have differences in terms of customization

Minfilia is a HIGHLANDER?! Wow I thought she is a midlander all this time
