"It" froze over. Lalafell bust size is coming.Follow

well the problem is I like Lalafells so saying dont play one is kind of a bad suggestion. i just dont want 'em to be sexy..

its not a big deal for me though... will probably get creeped out if some lalafell has big ol breasts and butt/thighs though, like those creepy elins

Am I the only one who has nightmares about chichifells?

It's the character model that throws me off. They don't look like they have joints and they're all straight lines, no curves. Creepy.

"Promote their gender?" For god's sake, we have every other race to do that (and certainly whatever future ones they add in, too)!

It always has to be some kind of low-cut top, waist-less armour, bikini bottom, or bare thigh leggings for the ladies (you know, because even though you need plate armour for the fight, any girl would rather expose some vital organs than risk being slightly less provocative in a life-or-death battle). It was nice to be rid of that sort of attitude, even in a small part, every now and again.

I thought Tarutaru/Lalafell androgyny was one of the few commendable aesthetic decisions the team had made, and to see them implementing this rather strange change leaves me just shaking my head at it all.

I think the change is more to make female lalas stand out from the males. Even in XI, for the longest time I thought the taru that had the blonde to red ponytail was a female.

I also think that people overreact a bit when it comes to Elin. I guess there are people out there who might like that sort of thing, but to me they look like adolescent girls. One might call it cute, but nothing about that is sexy

I think you just found the worst thing on the internet. Congrats!

I never signed up for TERA because of the Elin. They were that bad.

Lalafelle are different, though. They've got rounded bodies like the Tarutaru did, making them more cuddly than sexy. It's like chibi art in anime - even when the chibis are given sexually dimorphic features, there's way more cute than there is smexy to them.

3 things haters will never stop hating on in MMOs...

1. "Guy makes girl character = automatic pervert". If a guy makes a female character, it does not mean he wants to be a female in RL. It also does not mean he made the character to oogle at its female features. He might just think that a female with a sword can be just as badass as a male holding a sword (this should be a good thing, right? Males accepting females as equally awesome on the battlefield.). Some of the best video game characters can be women too (i.e., General Beatrix - FF9, Lara Croft, Lulu - FFX <3 ).

2. "Grown man/woman makes lala/elin/next little race in next big game = automatic wierdo". If an adult makes a "little person" character, it does not mean they want to be a kid in RL. It also does not mean they want to be with a kid in RL. It could mean they think something 2 feet tall tanking a mob 2 stories tall is an awesome sight. It also might mean that they think something 2 feet tall swinging a weapon 5x their size is also an awesome sight. It also could very well mean said player is smart and realizes that small targets are harder to hit in pvp - I'm looking at you Galka/Roegs come ARR PVP :P.

3. If a human makes an animal character, it does mean they want to be an animal in RL. It also means they want to be with an animal in RL. I am quite frankly disgusted with all these people that are ok with those making animal characters and staring at their backsides all day. Stripping down to their undies and oogling at their furry tails and perfect little paws. Did you know that some Popolian outfits in Tera are bottomless??? Yes, bottomless...so disgusting. Anyone who makes animal characters should be outcasts in the community and accused of RL beastiality. I'm tired of all you haters not fighting the sicko Animal Avatar Offenders!

@scorleone
I consider skimpy clad female-only pre-teen races whose only sounds is different shades of moaning eerie.
And concerning this opinion, I care little about whether you also do or don't.
I hope they stay in TERA, a game which I would have given a try if it wasn't so stinking of cheap gaudy flash all over.

Read FilthMcNasty's signature. It's part of a longer discussion about mixing boobs and icecream.
I like both, and I like the latter on the former, but I don't like the former mixed in every single sort of the latter.
I guess you get my drift.


Because she/he (although I'm pretty confident it's the latter - I must be a mentalist) is using a partial similarity as an
argument in a discussion that is not about the general appropriateness of female, animal, or midget characters.
One rate up for "nice try" is acceptable, but more would mean you actually fell for the sophism.

Well then.
Skimpy clad female-only pre-teen races whose only sounds is different shades of moaning is no minor issue for me.
Case solved.

Absolutely. I love boobs and ice cream, but I would never try boobs on rocky road. There are some things you just don't do.



I made this exact same point in the previous thread about TERA's races. It's similar to the 'Don't call my character a toon' argument. Show a child a screenshot or video of FFXI and ask them if they don't think it's from a cartoon. I wonder sometimes if people actually stop to think that they're playing in fantasy and perhaps that their IRL ideals shouldn't really apply.
