Can confirm, being midlander is the best way to be left alone
Actually I have seen some female Midlanders that was done up very good. Few in between, but yea.
which is strange, because aren't they the most played race? and most human like. you would think they would get more attention
@@Denariusjay They are the most human like, but it comes down to the age old question, being one in RL, do you really want to play one in a fantasy game. What I usally run into, and I can understand that point. it kinda a give and take thing with playing humans (like) in most games.
@@Denariusjay dont think so. I'll maybe see 1-2 hyur in the sea of au ra and miqos
changed to midlander for a costume party on halloween. If I had known how invisible that makes me, I wouldn't have bothered with the glam and just went as a ghost to the halloween party. XD
As a Male Lalafell I never get tells, only head pats.
i do that all the time to lalas i see xD
Thats the way
As another male lalafell player, yep this is mostly accurate.
Petting a Lala is for good luck ^.^
I pet random lalas without a word all the time. I am NOT sorry, and I will do it again.
I am in this video… I will not say where.
Hey, man. Thanks for letting me borrow your BMW after you saved all those orphans from a burning building. Really cool of you.

The variance in the hempen set could have skewed the results somewhat.
For the male run of the experiment, I suggest Squall’s pants and boots with no shirt.
Sadly, not all races are made equal with the hempen set.
As someone who lives on Balmung, I will point out that more experienced RPers are adept at identifying other experienced RPers, and I'm assuming you didn't put anything in your search info, so you'd only get whispers from... well, probably either the desperate, the inexperienced, or the creepy... or just people giving out sincere compliments to passersby. Some people will also just shotgun the same whispers to everyone until they get a bite, so it's kind of RNG of when you run into those people (like the guy who sent the moon code).
I think for accurate results you'd need a wider set of sample sizes, doing this with a few more character templates a few more times over a span of days to eliminate the odd outlier.
It's still an interesting study, though.
Yes, do the male characters.
Also, as a male Hrothgar, I get the most attention from other male Hrothgar. I also give it back with /petals. We are easy going hug and /pet machines.
*Phrasing*
Also, I can't at all speak for all male Hroth players, but every gay guy friend I have plays a male Hroth. Every. Single. One. Not a judgment, just an observation. You do what (or who) ever you like.
as a fem hroth i always like seeing male hroth around but I'm not so brave as to /pet them, usually just send a tell if they have a cool adventurer plate
understandable, hrothgar have boopable noses
Love how the shirtless catboy upgraded from “Hi” to phrases so unspeakable they can’t be put into a RUclips video
Female Au Ra power I guess
We need more data. Number of propositions in an hour, as well as time to first tell.
Needs a male character set.
Oooh that hurt.. the NPC you buy the outfit at is legit at the aetherite crystal.
In Gridania is it's Maisenta , slightly northwest of the Aetherite. I don't know where it is in any other city.
@@EloquentTroll Bango Zango, next to the aetheryte, in Limsa.
@@AlleluiaElizabeth thank you much!
Good to know. What about Ul'dah though?
@@basteala525 See those round stairs in the distance at 1:38 ? GO up there, first merchant on your right. Just behind that player in light blue at 2:37.
The unrequested sync code with no introduction as F Viera is too real.
Public service to claim your free modded hat.
"Watch out for your kneecaps" made me almost spit my drink over my laptop. this was definetly the video i didn´t know i needed
Yes ! Make the same test with male characters ! For... Science.
Ps: your 10 reasons to play lalafell is part of why i finally change back my character to potato 😊
First and last time I went to Balmung. Walter White gave me a free blue crystal, then when I complimented his dedication to the character, he bought me the Both Ways hairstyle which was 2mil at the time.
Probably the only wholecome non-lewd moment that has ever happened in Balmung.
I know Au Ra is popular because I don't dress cute or sexy and i STILL get some weird ass tells once in a blue moon.
Playing a catboy is the only time I've had random comments about how cute I was in decades of playing MMORPGs.
its all men messafing you HAHA
I switched to FemRoe after finishing 6.0. I did an NG+ run through ShB and EW for a friend of mine, and I originally was going to go Thighlander when I fanta'd. On a whim, I looked through the FemRoes, and landed on a Hellsguard that I just fell in love with. Haven't looked back since!
I assume the reason why Catgirls and Buns don't get much attention is the fact they are extremely overpopulated and 9/10 times super generic. That said I'm surprised Middys arent popular either and people are really sleeping on Hrothgals!
I played midlander for a while, and I think the reason why they're not that popular is the simplest, there's nothing striking about them, no matter how few of them there are. I also didn't get any attention or tells as bun girl- the race that got me the most interactions (only headpats and compliments, nothing creepy) is lalafell hahaha
Well middies are the box standard human race of other games so while they're not necessarily the "default" option (I'd give that to catgirls in FF14), they probably catch some strays because of that. Thighlanders at least counteract that by looking like they could crush watermelons even without mods.
please please please do male characters, i'm so curious
@@AngelArrovvs it will be loads of tells when you're a femboy viera and miqote. Less so with hyur and lala. The other races will barely get anything, sad to say
Have any of yall ever tried playing the game? And not being a coomer???? Jw
@SerRedConnington Big cat guy gets a lot of gay/bi attention.
"female Elezen are like a shiny Pokémon in this game."
I played a female Elezen in endwalker and when I joined a new static, they called me their unicorn. Apparently they had been going around all the cities to see if they could find one and couldn't, then one just drops into their static.
can confirm I get a lot of whispers as an Au Ra and i just started playing and was wondering why people were just giving me free stuff. Then this video pops on my feed lol
2:42 - nobody seemed to be interested in my character.
you were definitely getting camera creeped haha
I can't believe this hrothgal slander!!
😂
im not even shocked by many people not being into them. some of them look good, but most i see look super odd
Hrothgals my beloved
Because furries are gross *shrug*
The thing I find most telling is the nature of the tells. Particularly with the viera. Have we truly sunk so low that "Oh of course the viera has the funny horse numbers" even with no indicators? And only the viera as well.
CAN WE PLEASE. PLEASE. GET AN OPTION. TO WEAR OTHER RACES' HEMPEN GEAR?!?!?
It's obviously Lala due to the burning hot rage that burns deep within them.
As a Catboy Gunbreaker, i got random headpats in a dungeon once allegedly due to my performance.
As an female Au Ra I honestly find myself being left alone a lot. That being said I’m not going to Balmung Quicksands so that could have something to do with it. Even so I very rarely get spoken to. I’m not surprised we are second place tho…I’ve heard…stories….
I'm the same as a female elezen player
Also femme Au Ra and can corroborate lol
Mostly left alone, but I'm also largely a narrative gamer except when leveling everything to max, so I don't just like, hang out in crowds lol
@@seselis625 same here so I’m sure that has something to do with it.
Female Au Ra are also the easiest races to have a lot of gender differentiation. There's a lot of femboy "Female" Au Ras. It's much harder to make femboys on other races. Male Viera is also the only male race I have thought were female at first, then at closer look, they're male. So if your Au Ra looks like a boy, that may be why you're left alone...
@@Jake38nine
I'm not parsing this comment well, are you saying a lot of IRL boys play femme Au Ra?
As a Thighlander main, 4th place is pretty nice.
This experiment has poor quality data. More data points required, more attempts at different times and different servers over the course of multiple days.
In all seriousness there is no median average for each race. 3+ runs can give a better idea. The mote the better.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Nerd girl out
1:55 the npc Avy mentioned here, is in;
Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks ( X:9.9 Y:11.4 )
New Gridania ( X:11.5 Y:11.2 )
Ul'Dah Steps Of Nald ( X:10.5 Y:9.5 )
Always make sure to check the Shop Selling Prices first before you buy stuff on the Market Board ❤
(edit: FemRa best race btw! 👀)
Yes, do the Male character models!
Love this game, and love DnD roleplay but RP in final fantasy ? It's either a nightclub sim' or a dating sim'. People do be horny in this game... Killed my motivation for RP in FF :/
Should be a caveat that this is about the most easily attention-receiving type of popular and not so much the most played type of popular. Good video and social experiment, though!
Au Ra are definitely best race hands down. Now, I'm not gay... but the picture of that Xaela at 0:56 got me... working out.
100%. Both male and female Au Ra look awesome
Moral of the story is: is best at everything, not just at creating massive empires. Long live the smol!
It's a Lalafell's world, everyone else is just living in it.
syK
@@NuchiAsaki keys
@NiinyyEUW ?
Thank you for all of your research you did for us! Also editing out all of the RP must have taken awhile. Lol jk jk.
Middys are lowkey overlooked sometimes and need the love. As for the white hair cat girl I've had a running joke about them because they are so common. Could be why it took longer to get a tell. Popular to a fault :P
This reminds me of fishing in monsterhunter
Okay that made me cackle LOL
wait there may be RP now in Monster Hunter Wilds because of the bigger open lobbies xD
@@avycatte :)
😂
I made a temporary highlander alt before changing my femroe (permanent alt) to another race because i was sick of the height issues when doing player housing. This was a test run.
I was doing the first few quests and i had a player eyeball me in central shroud and send me panting and gasping noises like they were suffering from high temperatures.
I picked Lalafell because of their cute and fun design, but I've stayed with it because of the community and the sweet and wholesome interactions you get on a daily basis.
god i hate you people "omg lalafell is so cute and silly!!!" its pedobait and yall are deep into it, freaks
The hottest race is whoever narrates these videos, the accent is crazy hot haha
Keep up the good work!
i remember going to the QS late night (NA Eastern Standard Time). We were trying to get our bun boi friend a date. The group of us were a mix of miqote, highlander, au ra, and myself a midlander. I happened to be the first to get properly hit on in under 5 minutes. There are a lot of people who will give nice short conversation praising looks and glamour. Although, proper "ahem" hits could be a different story.
I'm a Male Highlander from Balmung and yeah I feel confident their results will be swift, especially if you go into the quicksand
I would like to see a male version of this. I play a male Viera and ost never get any tells out of the blue. Unless it's someone sending me an unsolicited FC invite. u.u
I would never say "Hot" but surely we Lalas are the cutest of them all 😊💙
I also wonder if cat girls and bunny girls might be too popular for this test since there are already so many there to play so nobody notices another one show up.
I appreciate that someone else deals with this struggle!
I've been bouncing back and forth between making my WoL a male Viera for the Shonen protagonist energy, or an Elezen to be my irl height and have hats.
No no no... You made a Midlander with the wrong face. No wonder it took so long to get a reply.
MY FRIENDS ARE IN THIS IM SCREAMING
The Viera one didn't count because ad tells aren't conversation.
I play a fem AuRa and I use the Omega outfit glam for DRK, but most people never comment on it lol Not on Bryn anyway.
Though one time a guy did start hitting on me while I was waiting for a GATE, and I had a chuckle when I drew my sword at him and he backed off. He was a good sport at least.
This game made me discover I have a thing for tall ladies
Design is important in this case. Very little people play poopnose miqo'te (as compared to the other faces), most of them play face 1 or 3 and since there are so many of those already to pick from, that might have influenced the results
when i was a moon miqo, using face 4, i had many random tells saying that i was cute and that this face was rare :o
Don't call it that :(
You're GRAVELY mistaken if you think male characters ever get tells first, unless maybe you hang out in the gay part of the Quicksand.
So it's like real life.
man thats like.. The opposite of my experiences. I'm Aroace so I tend to lean toward male characters to prevent horny posts from strangers in public games, but there have been only three times I've teleported into Balmung through Uldah, each time for a hunt train or a boss fate, and each time on a different male character (my original main Duskwight elezen, my Male max height Au ra, and my male viera main character) and each time I didn't even get loaded in enough to teleport out before getting propositioned (two of which ALSO got job offers at different brothels out of the blue by looks alone and it's just "... my dude I'm just here for Chii/Ixion") so I'm not sure if I just somehow make *really approachable* characters or if I somehow spawned in the gay part of the aetheryte plaza. Its the whole reason why I sort of refuse to world hop via uldah if I'm heading to balmung. (My Auri boy also has been hit on by Lala.)
None of them had anything but the default label so it wasn't the RP tag drawing them in. Maybe they can just feel the disinterested vibes and think they can change me.
I play as a male Hroth and i'll say that most of the interactions I have with people I dont know are other male Hroths, its pretty nice to give and receive pets from all the big kitties!
I had tried out most races since playing the game. Best reactions were as female Lalafell I got minions after some days, I don't move me often by clowds of people. As female Elezen I got random 2 Mil. Gil and a short tell respect that you play Elezen and I dressed often very elegant but not naughty or so. As a male Elezen I got just a WS recommendation just because of the race. And as a Femroe one player said once. "A sexy Femroe is in my space." But I have not paying attention how fast it all were happend.
Perfection
I did a hrothgar, never regret it :D
The Hempen set can be purchased from an NPC right next to the Ul'Dah QuickSand East side's entrance. You're welcome ~
As a male elezen I’m also biased towards female elezen. They seem more mature somehow, which is something I’m attracted to myself. They’re also rare, which is part of the ”wow” factor.
Same here i often find female elezens more attractive than other races
I'm fairly sure my Miqo has been hit on by that shirtless male Miqo before, except i think he was just trying to drag me to his venue.
Didn't even happen on Balmung.
a vid for the male models is 100000% needed for more science 0w0
Yep those Roegadames get attention especially after the upgrade!
When someone puts effort into a good Seawolf and glam they are amazing looking 😍
Midlander's are so unappreciated, Avy even forgot to name them at 9:13 when going down the list. D:
Also, I was in the video. Somewhere. >_>
But no one will ever find me because I'm a Middie!
Been waiting for more content. Great to see new vid🎉🎉
As someone who always plays male characters I never thought we could get random tells until I played Male Viera and got a message from a Au Ra lady telling me my character was handsome.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
@@avycatte Np
Male equivalent would be dope
Hrothgal main here. A tell that stood out to me was from someone who wanted to "ride on my shoulders so they could avoid combat." 😭I think we're just too intimidating for the thirsty tells. People don't know how to approach us. We are kind of an anomaly atm, don't know where we fit into the race chart yet
Easy question. It's Viera, sure we can't wear hats but that's our charm point.
😭
Shockingly the most tells i’ve ever got was on male Au’ra. Most of em were pretty wholesome though with people complimenting my glam or the way my character looks
*Me currently at 00:00
LALAFELL, THE ANSWER IS LALAFELL
Okay, so... Lala doesn't count. Au Ra wins. Also, ironically, despite playing a lady Auri since HW, I've only ever been whispered like a handful of times. Though, thankfully, never anything I would have to blur out if posted to RUclips. lol
Everyone knows that the lizard girls are the best girls. It's a shame that so many people pick the worst face, though...
My little dragon is always getting tells, lol
My experience? Viera. Female AND male. Might just be my time in Behemoth but the thirst is real compared to the other races I've been (yes I have one of every race don't judge me). Although fem Roe is definitely the race that gets people asking "wait what ARE you?"
I got a few compliments about my Middie. Probably cause my girly colors and outfits just stood out.
Hyur if you crush on the girl next door.
Elezen If you're into someone exotic.
Miqo'te If you're a weeb like me.
Roegadyn If you want to call someone Mommy.
Au Ra for seekers of a Dominatrix.
Viera If you're into a full grown Woman.
Hrothgar for the Furries out there.
Lalafell if you're just a little kid who wants to hold hands.
Lala if you want to harass everyone and still get hugs and headpats for it.
Miqo'te women not being hot is a good example of the old adage "when everyone's super no one will be".
I was wondering what smugcat was doing in balmung! Too pure to be there though!
Second episode for the zaddies?
Roegadyn. The answer is Roegadyn.
It'll always and forever be Roegadyn
the way I screamed at the lalafell part
1) Your Hrothgar was amazing, even though they're not my type. And remember: Virtually all Lalafel are played by balding 50 year old men that have refused to grow up. --- /sigh.....
How funny. I thought the old balding guys where playing as the female cats and bunnies to get attention lol.
AvyCatte doing race science i see
Miqo'te so low because they're a dime a dozen
You go to any town and throw a rock in any direction and hit one.
Also love that you showed a male Au Ra talking about tells at the start, it's always those crash bandicoot run cycle looking mfers for some reason lmao
k so conclusion, outside JP servers it's Au Ra ladies at no.1. We already knew this!
My main is a midlander and never really got any tells from randoms. Might not have helped that I had a gender neutral name at the time. Made an au ra alt and was actually shocked at how many random tells I’d get. It’s like playing solo vs playing with other players.
years ago on my miqo i went to balmung quicksands because i was telling a friend about it and he didnt believe me. we were there for maybe 10 minutes and i got like 4 separate tells asking for erp. ...actually i got multiple tells on my home server for the first few years and would still have screenshots of some of the creepier ones had my HDD not died last year. rip
i switched to hrothgal in DT and have gotten tells about my outfits multiple times, but nothing creepy like when i first started playing ff14 on miqo. but i also dont really go looking for rp or anything (honestly never have).
Finally some good content on my youtube
As a lala player for a long time I do confirm you get a lot of attention and free stuff as well don't even need to be a fem one. Although I'd assume if you play a fem lala and go all in on cute the effect will be multiplied.
For me it's definitely Miqo'te = Hrothgar > Viera > Au Ra > the rest when it comes to the ladies. N-not that I personally RP or anything! That's just what I've played as or the races of my retainers!
And yeah, I'm curious to see how the male races fare for tells, especially with all the "upheavals" as some RPers I know put it when it came to seeking out their type. (Viera impacted the soft boy Miqo'te population, Hrothgar did a number on Roegadyn when it came to bears.)
this heavily depends on servers, thank god its rare to see a lalafell anywhere on mine
This is interesting, I had to switch out from femviera because I would get random tell and/or lala calling me mommy and doing the high five emote behind me 💀
As a Roegadyn i can confirm, we are fast with gettin' Messages! that's insane hehehe
I 100% need the male model version of this video
.... I have been bored and hanging around Balmung the last couple days (NOT FOR THAT), and I actually saw you there earlier! Didn't think anything of it, but maybe I should have. As for targeting random players, I do that all the time, but it's usually just for the sake of spying on their plates. Though I'm half-disappointed I didn't see myself in the background of any of those recordings!
I think the miqote issue is that there are SO many catgirls, so people are less likely to pursue any random one. As a catgirl player, yea, we rarely get attention.
It’s quite obvious that the majority of fem miqo’te, Viera and Highlander are played men so it’s a good way to be left alone. In fact my Viera never gets messaged but when I was Elezen and prior to the graphical update was given compliments but as a regular midlander I was hit on by a catgirl.
Playing as F middie is the best for me, I get a cute and good looking character and don't have stand weird Tells, at least most of the time...
Femhroths- No Avy why are you in Balmung quicksands- WHY? There is so much- DISGUST
what’s the outfit at 5:32 of the guy she zooms in on lol i’m new to the game so idk if it’s a quest drop or what
