There’s a rare fishable creature called The Vegetarian. It’s a Mosasaur looking creature with a crown stuck on its head, because the community created it like that. We don’t question this ever. It was later added to the game by SE. It was a nice touch for SE to let the community create their own lore creature. This creature is 100% carnivorous but have a weird name because their favorite diet are seafaring Lalafells. It’s a vegetarian because it only eat popotoes. A bit more lore added to your Lala story.
There is something funny to picture that you come across a Lalafel town in the distance and you see a vulture just swooping in and taking off with one.
Admittedly since I’m a Summoner, Scholar or White Mage if I saw a vulture grab a Lalafell and take off with him/her I would cast an offensive spell on the vulture and save the Lalafell! I’d then be welcomed as a hero.
Theres a ffxiv version of the dnd books for stats and stuff, a lot of these games are done in-game as that character. Just gotta find an fc or group :)
Nanamo's poison would have killed 10 adult Roegadyns easily. After all, it was prepared by fellow Lalafells of the Syndicate. They wouldn't make such a novice error.
I made a Lala during the free trial for the memes and now I have 2 fanta on my retainer (from ARR MSQ and deluxe edition) and don't want to use them because it's literally the best playable race in the game. They really are bundles of joy and there's nothing better than meeting another Lala and just emoting for 10 minutes
I'm not sure why many lalafells are named after an edible. I made my Dunesfolk Lalafell back in ARR beta and I named him after a food as well. I guess it was a huge coincidences? Lol.
Hey now, lets be real here. Lolorito might be a greedy asshole, but he has always supported the Sultana. Taledji Adeledji on the other hand, got what he deserved.
To be honest I truly hate the entire “banquet” situation. S P O I L E R S F I R A R R It’s got so many plot holes that it’s rediculous. Why frame the Scions who, while friendly to the Sultana and Flame General, have no political power in Ul’dah. They couldn’t make the Ul’dahns take in those 200 odd Doman refugees. They’d be unable to do anything about the Syndicate taking over when the Sultana died. Framing the Warrior of Light for the actual poisoning is also foolish. This is the one person in the entirety of the Alliance who can face a Primal without fear of Tempering. She (in my file at least) goes around Eorzea killing dangerous Primals for either free or for whatever paltry sum of Gil gotten at the end of the quest. Of all people, why frame the only Primal killer? On top of that when she’s first accused, why not use the Return spell? In my case that would have instantly teleported her to the Limsa Lominsan aethericyte plaza. Add in the fact that my WoL is a Hyur midlander Sunmoner she could have summoned Titan who was rather quite tanky when I played, to engage the guards while she warped. I also have a problem with how meekly the WoL allowed herself to be arrested and bound. She must know by now of the corruption rampant in Ul’dah especially within the Brass Blades. But she didn’t even try to fight her way to freedom. And if none of that was bad enough, then the following banquet scene… I was literally talking to my tv screen telling her allies to unbind my WoL. Especially Minfilia as our boss and for the Lominsan Admiral to intervene. My WoL is a member of the Maelstrom. I think I was a seargent then. Certainly above all the Private classes. Although it’s actually shown later both Merlwyb and Kan-E-Senna believed in the WoL’s innocence, neither of them try to help the WoL. Not even by verbally protesting before running away to leave the Scions to it. Then there’s the escape from Ul’dah situation. Again because of spells like Return they could have each safety teleported out. Failing that, grab some Crystal Brave outfits from defeated groups and hide the bodies. Maybe then they could have bluffed their way out. Alas nothing smart like that happens. Instead Y’shtola casts the illegal Flow spell, scattering them across Eorzea. Y’shtola had to be rescued from the lifestream and apparently lost her normal sight. Only seems to see aether flows. Thancred lost the ability to do any kind of magic. Minfilia sacrifices her body for Hydelyn. Although by the time Stormblood starts the Scions have reunited and even recruited they’ll never be the same. Lol I was so looking forward to punting Illberd off Baelsar’s Wall but instead of finishing the job with knife, magic or a well-aimed punt, he’s allowed to recover from the defeat in battle and yeets himself off the edge and fulfilling his plan to use Nidhogg’s eyes. (With full choice I wouldn’t have tossed them down a frozen ravine and told Alphinaud not to. Instead I would have given them to Midgardsormr or Hvaesrelgyr for safekeeping. A dragon to guard dragon powers. Any WoD or Ascian would have a hard time getting them away from the father of dragons or his son. But I digress. I have few feelings about Lalafells to in general. The Sultana, Pipin, Tataru, Papalymo, the ex-Sultansworn who is a train station master whose name escapes me right now are decent characters. But I despised Teleji and Lolorito even if the latter is the less of two evils. I’d never actually play a Lalafell personally. I find them off putting with wierd head, body and limb ratios. Plus they often sound like children even they aren’t. Still if you like being a Lalafell then good for you. The game would look a bit odd if everyone chose Hyur, Elezen or Miqo’te. Lol or Viera. With Endwalker early access released recently the game is full of bunny bois and girls. Along with plenty of Sages and Reapsrs!
5:35 Well, I mean, they said “certain types of poison”, so specifically it’s to have better chance of surviving snake bites and scorpion stings. But there are many other types of poison Teleji could’ve used for his dastardly deed.
@@QuaziiFFXIV Not only that, but I kinda get the vibe that wasn't the first time someone who got in his way found a goblet of wine... disagreeable, if you catch my drift.

@@Seraphima249 Well yea Encyclopaedia Eorzea's second prints. Encyclopaedia Eorzea was first time published in 2016 and Encyclopaedia Eorzea II was published 2018. I have them both in english.
I love how lalafell are one of the most abundant races, yet there are so many FATE and item descriptions mentioning how lalafell are basically prey animals, something no other race seems to be. The lalafell really just said ‘the gods can’t get rid of us that easily’
Well, I reasoned that an evolution predecesor of lalas should be some form of burrowing animal, because I don't see them escaping predators by climbing trees, which this kinda confirmed. Being underground things is another thing that ties them to potatoes. On Nanamo's poisoning, maybe the venom would be strong enough to kill other races, but Lolorito's people would know what dosage to give to a lala. Also size matters, maybe their venom resistance is just enough to put them on par with bigger races.
Conspiracy moment here, maybe Nanamo was ment to die but survived because of here poison resistance and the players involved changed the story accordingly
“Look, it was MY plan to keep the sultana alive ok! Let’s be friends again. Here’s an antidote for the sleeping potion that’s totally not a poison, I swear.” -Lolorito
Nah, they said “certain types of poison”, probably to have better chance of surviving snake bites and scorpion stings. But there are many other types of poison Teleji could use for his dastardly deed.
Time to be "That Guy". Apologies in advance. Lalafells' gained resistance to VENOM would likely not help at all against the Syndicate's POISON. Venoms and poisons not only differ in method of distribution (Venom is injected, poison is ingested or absorbed), but also in chemical makeup. While they each have the same goal of killing or subduing, they tend to go about the goal in completely different ways on the chemical level.
I've had unfortunate experiences due to Lala-hate. I wonder though... Lore-wise, " are Lala's the most evil race? " By that I mean: Have they caused the most amount of pain/death/chest-stabbing/suffering/bodycounts/blood/torture/wars/primal-summoning/world-ending scenario's " out of all the existing races in the FFXIV lore to actually deserve the amount of hate we get :/ ?
This is how the lalas evolved to become so evil! when everything wants to eat you and CAN given a chance you have to learn the ways of being sneaky and evil to survive!

There are an absurd number of Fate descriptions that describe lalafell as being tasty prey for wild beasts.
They are delicious potatoes
Even in a level 5 Fate in Gridania we've been told vultures have a taste for Lalafels!
5:40 Remember Don't forget that Nanamo wasn't poisoned though. Her drink was laced/spiked with a potent sleeping potion.
Nanamo's poison would have killed 10 adult Roegadyns easily. After all, it was prepared by fellow Lalafells of the Syndicate. They wouldn't make such a novice error.
good point, prepared by other lalafells - who will be aware of the natural resistance of the race :D
