Final Fantasy XIV Lalafell Drama | Xeno Reacts 

Seriously 🤣 for real

... I'm on SB rn about to battle tsukiyomi... would asking for context be spoilers? If no I'd like context. If not... I'll see you in a few days maybe.

@@qlasalle I mean… yeah just wait lol. It’ll all make sense in the end. Enjoy! 😉

@one_eyeddd473 well I Tank so I had to watch a guide but it looks so fun. I like the Ying and yang stack effect and all the dodging

​@@qlasalleit's just a fighting cutscene with zenos, looks funny when putting a lala against zenos in a 1v1 since he's so huge

As a Miqo’te player I can confirm this

Yeah id take that, using the garden outside is kinda weird

as a viera player... where is my hay holder.

Miqo'te players are not hypocrites.

@@lootmaster1337 the garden outside? I’ve just been using the houseplants!

I too am a lala player and share your sentiment.

@@frostmourne1986 Ya I saw it and was like HA I love this shit

Right!? It really funny

Yeah, I made a Santa's workshop and used the Lalafell house vendors to be little elves making toys. Friend came over and they were like "Nice, you're running a children's sweat shop" 😂

Absolutely. I died laughing.

Right? Embrace the memes.. it’s legit a meme race half the time. Though if I had to make a Lala I would be dwarfed tf out

I was a Lala for all of two months and I loved every minute of it. Ridiculous waddle run, overly expressive emotes, every outfit looking cute, and certain minions sitting on my tiny potato head.

I swear, people who take their race selection seriously are really creepy (and very hilarious to mock). You pick the short race that looks cute and childish. That's fine. I personally see them as hilarious, especially since I still play FFXI and Tarutaru are the literal origin of Lalafells. Both races are literally designed to be cute and childish. Literally designed that way. If someone views that as rapey content, that's entirely on them. That's like looking at a parent/guardian/teacher and their kid and immediately thinking "that kids rape content". Like holy shit these fuckers are creepy.

maybe not taken seriously, but most certainly not taken creepy, because its true that many people do accuse people of being creepy when perhaps they just see lala as dwarf

I thought the whole point of lalafell was to laugh at how absurd it is. My first thought launching the game was tiny tank/healer yes I will. Bonus points for being unhinged in a funny manner.

Male Roe here, would like to be made fun of with ANY furniture please.

Where's my male roe gorilla suit

You really put things into perspective here lmao

@@mquezada88I'm not a male roe but I would LOVE a gorilla suit in game 😂

My female roe she hulk briefcase 💼

That's just depressing to read now...

Justifying bullying :oof:

I shall reaper the soles of all those who trys to pats or punt me! Me and noble steed lesser panda will not stand for it!!!

It gets old... really quickly.

@@nixiedreamstar Let's be honest, it's not really bullying most people mean it in good fun they aren't serious. What next all the /pets we get become inappropriate? And I play lalafell I have met very few people that are aggressively serious about stuff like that.

I will die before they remove my plushies. I am a manly man with a manly man house, and it needs its plushies, dammit.

BRUH, DUDE, LMAO

Yea litterbox please, getting tired of Miqo'tes taking a dump in my gardens.

Hahahahahaha Thavnair

Traumatised

you think RPers pay attention to the story?

When did a kid die in Ahm Araeng? And have sineater sickness doesn't count as "dying"

If you mean Tesleen, she's a young adult. Listen to her dialogue and read convos with her, you can easily do the math that she's suppose to be early 20s at the youngest. No other young looking characters die in Ahm Araeng.

Hope you feel better soon.

Dude, same. Except it's reddit for me.

I need a Giant Cat Bed for my Miqo'te now.

There is the cat scratcher. All this is is just for fun.

As an Au’ra I’d love a heat lamp.

@@ashiri And at least one or two instances of item description jokes about viera and carrots in Endwalker.

WAIT FUCK THAT, THE RESTORATION PAINTS ISHGARDIAN ELEZEN AS PSYCHO COMMUNIAL SALT ROCK LICKERS. Lala players aren't allowed to complain about anything ever again holy shit

I'd pay top dollar for a heating lamp no cap. i will go all in on the lizard sterotype

An elezen is just three lalas in a suit.

A Roegadyn is just a lalafel growing in reverse.

Concern, Strummer @16:10

Yup. and this isn't the first time they've done joke furniture at the expense of one of the game's races and it certainly won't be the last. It's all in good fun and people need to take the sticks outta their asses.

@@Blewdy Actually 2nd time. The tree slice house says "pets love it! Mito'qes too" and its a little cat house thing

isn't the reason why this guy complain about this to begin with is because there is a minor amount of people who accuse lala players as creepy and groomers ?

I don't know man, it took me 5 seconds to write this comment. typing it doesn't mean i'll think about it beyond a minute. Imagine thinkin that every internet comment lives rent free in these peoples heads and wasn't just a passing thought they thought they'd share on a forum, like every other internet comment.

You're missing the reason why people are mad over this virtual chair in the first place. This will just increase player harassment.

First world problems 101.

Some people desperately need to touch grass 🤣

No one said it's their sole problem This kind of thinking of idiotic

@@elgatochurro found one

​@@elgatochurro you know what's even more idiotic ? Making a drama over nothing.

Exactly, why do you think so much drama exist in raiding and even casual content like dungeons??

I know, so weird, right? Why would someone who spends tens of thousands of hours playing the same character come to identify with it? (I'm being sarcastic btw. I doubt your intelligence based on your comment so I thought I'd mention that.)

@@NyklausCopernicus 🤓

@@NyklausCopernicus 🤓

​@@NyklausCopernicus I'm unsure why you feel the need to throw an insult in, but since you want to play this game, and the point of my comment was clearly lost inside the vacuous emptiness that exists between your ears, I'll explain further. You are not your character. You do not live in a fantasy world where you can use magic, fly, shoot laser beams from your hands, and fight world-ending threats as the sole savior of the world on a daily basis. Is it fun to pretend to do that? Absolutely. Can your character have your personality traits, which by the way do not matter in the slightest since everything that happens in the game is scripted and regardless of any choices you make nothing changes? Sure, go for it. But if you can't make the separation between the you in reality and the character you are playing, you need to take a break or seek help. It is a video game. It is there to be fun and provide some level of social interaction if you so choose. It is not there for you to develop a personality around and become part of who you are. To add to that, anyone who has put anything remotely close to 10,000 hours needs to seriously reflect the validity of their feelings if they are feeling upset about a joke item. If you have the kind of free time to devote to a video game, your life is pretty good.

They have read it.

I know a guy who plays a Lala girl and he is 100% obsessed with it. He gushes over how cute and adorable she is, dresses her up like a doll, and the level of detail he goes into when talking about her makes me feel super uncomfortable sometimes. Honestly, the people who think that the race is funny and just joke around with it are fine, but when you can basically hear them drooling when they describe their character over VC...it can seem weird. Players like you exist, but you can't say that players like THAT don't.

@@SageTigerStar Sure, there are creeps everywhere, but you can't say the number of people who see a Lala and instantly say "that person is a pedo" isn't the majority of the problem.

@@moogleboy In your case sounds like pure projection. Worked in a club for a bit though and you run into the rare cases of people playing Lala in order to be creepy about it to often. It wasn't a nightly thing but it happened at least once to twice a week. Never played Lala for more than a few minutes let alone worked in a nightclub as one so can't really say how common those two things are in comparison. We had a Lala bartender and she was super wholesome but people would on rare occasion still creep on her... those fuckers where fortunately blacklisted ASAP.

That wasnt a "kid" it was a young adult older then Alphi and Ali

@@semekiizuio Endwalker.

SE didn't just get away with killing a kid, they traumatized the fuck out of the kid in one of the most horrifying ways I can imagine without just getting overwhelmed by a combination of nausea and the PTSD fueled urge to slowly stab a MFer to death. Then they proceeded to transform the kid into a monster and made you kill them with your own hands.

Tbh, there was an entire expansion where Lala's were called dwarfs and even looked serious. The only time they became Lalas again was when they take off their bearded helmet. That's why dwarfs had a strict law to never take off their helmet, else they'll be exiled for being an uncultured animals :)

Because Lalafell are just the height of the JP users

sounds like a blanket statement that doesn't reflect reality, I'm an active player in an english speaking xiv server, and I don't see lalas as children, tho yeah, they are adorable in a "little brother" way, and I want to pet them. Ngl, *all* the lalas I have in my ffxiv are absolutely happy with getting pets for this, just like all the miqotes I know are happy with getting pets for being feline-looking. Sounds like only a vocal minority is getting offended over this.

​@@FlavorsomeMusic dude, as a lala, the only time I'm not being treated as a Child proxy or a pedo is when people are saying I"m the devil incarnate There are players who are cool with us, but yeah, they're rarity, SPECIALLY outside of cool FCs or friend circles, god I've been treated badly because of being lalafell by FC members before

@@nikolasantony7761 maybe the problem isn't you being a lalafell, but you surrounding yourself poorly. I mean, I hang out in limsa on my server, and there's like, at least a dozen lalas I see regularly, and never have I seen them being called a pedo, we all pet them and we like them a lot. And yeah, lalas are the devil incarnate, be proud of it. I think that's awesome. Hellish imps ♥ I know of quite a few people who are looking for reasons to be offended on this game, and I don't think you should validate them like that. Human brain is also biased towards noticing the bad experiences we go through much more than the good ones. The good ones are expected, the bad ones trigger our innate survival instinct, we feel threatened, so our brain associate much more importance to those. I think you could benefit from keeping that in mind. ...Also, please ooooOOOOOOoooh your local miqote, we love it. :D

Because if they do give lala-sized furniture it wont fit for the other race. This lifter and step stool is to bridge the height gap between lala and non-lala but having other race to sit/sleep on lala-sized furniture will look too awkward

@@naz-- i dont see that as a problem. if it doesnt fit the other races, then people who play those dont have to use them. and people use furniture in other ways than how its presented by default. towels as cushions, blackboards as sofa backs, marble alcove bed as flooring and ceilings, etc

Also, if you start in Ul'dah, one of the early quests is giving cookies to orphan children and the two lalafell children are literally indistinguishable from adult lalas. It's absolutely hilarious to get butthurt over this like these people didn't SEE WHAT LALAFELLS LOOK LIKE IN THE CHARACTER CREATOR and it just never occurred to them.

​@@sleepythemisthere are also human children in this game. They look nothing alike.

tbh I think they're child-like since the actually children in ffxiv look normal to me. They look like walking garden gnomes to me lol. But when it comes to the race in of itself, yeah you probably can't tell what a child and adult lalafell looks like. Tbh really cursed race and I'll be telling them to sit at the lalafell corner everytime.

To me is the way they act. Have you seen the way they cross their arms or even walk? Or even sit, dude. It's really looks like a kid.

Same and thats so legit. People look at you funny for being healthy

Mmmm that's actually a thing. "Plundered treasure" carpet.

Aura actualy lizzards no? As aura player and entusiast and make researches in stepe i read somewhere they lizards.

@@Padrino_Tommy IIRC there was some racism in Ishgard with folks saying that Au Ra were related to dragons. But afaik the general consensus is that all of the races that looks like they are related to animals (Viera, Miqote, Kobolds, Hrothgar, Au Ra, Bangaa, etc.) are just that; they look but aren't. In fact, my basis for the "hurrdurr, Au Ra 'dragon-people' racist" thing was that I recall reading something official saying that all these races look like animals but aren't and that it's considered offensive in lore to call, for example, a viera a rabbit-person. But I've not been able to find the text that I saw that in. Even back in Tactics Advance, when Marche first encounters a bangaa he says "a talking lizard" or something to that effect and it's perceived by the bangaa as offensive.

I feel like a lot of that in FF14 is just because of the Ishgardians doing some really horrific shit to the Au Ra, and that's part of why what they do in Endwalker hits so hard on a symbolic level, it's flipping that association being used as an escuse to commit heinous hate crimes against a group on it's head completely. Being compared to a dragon is actually kind of cool and doesn't imply a lack of intelligence like being compared to a bunny or a cat might as long as everyone around you isn't going "this "person" is maliscious and evil and must be driven out and tormented, may these abominations know Halones wrath."

Exactly, worked in a nightclub for a bit and we only kicked out Lala's if they where being really over the top in ways that made everyone else uncomfortable, had another male lala coming in at least once a week in just there undies... sorry dude no one wants to see that shit. Heck one of our bartenders was a Lala, unfortunately occasionally had to kick out fuckers for being weird with her to, legit one of the most wholesome human beings I have ever encountered.

Yeah, I don't get that one. If I was a midget, having a large bed all ot myself would be awesome. Beats being tall and having a bed that barely fits me.

"I don't know who it is, but thank you so much for translating Uncle Zeno into Japanese, I didn't know it was this funny" -google translator

I'm out of the loop a bit on the Au'ra heating lamp. What's the meaning behind that? im guessing lizards in habitat tanks?

I play a Lala because I'm 6'2" irl and wish I could be short. The war crimes, genocide, and ruthless nature of Lalafell is a nice bonus.

It's so odd how against looking like cute dolls Lala's are. Like, isn't that the whole point of the race? They look like kids (even though Lala will argue your ear off if you state the obvious), that's why I personally didn't want to play the race. If you don't want to hear "you look like a kid" maybe don't play the race that looks like a kid.

I play lala cause I want to be short bastard that my friend want to kick around xD

@@Miriam_J_ I'm the weirdo who chooses race based on personal fantasy and lore. I chose the race because "small and cute", I stay with the race because of maniacal murder.

It's a cute chair and there's nothing wrong with it all. These people are being silly. I'd say most people playing Lala either want to look adorable or want to troll/meme. I'm smol (5 foot) so I picked Lala to poke fun at my own height and because they look like adorable little Chibis. I wished that Calca/Brina's dress was available, would look so nice on my character.

Same. My boyfriend and I both play as Lala and we thought it was really funny, so do our non-Lala friends. I think these people who are offended by this virtual chair are those types that live on Twitter to complain all day long lol 😂

Same

Same I thought it as the devs making memes of lalas they forgot that yoshi plays lalafell

Everyone is lalafell, some are just piloting their big suits, they will always come back to smol 😂

Strummer is cute too. No drama whatsoever

None of that matters to these people cause "hurr Durr they look like kids"

I don’t know a single Hrothgar player that wouldn’t be delighted to receive a ball of yarn, same goes for any other funny stereotype item.

@@LordOdioThey look like kids, they move like kids, and here you prove that even their players act like kids.

​​@@MayHuggeranother may main here to prove they are all subhuman

@@LordOdio Could’ve sworn that more Millia players’ thing, I mean it’s even in their character’s theme.

It is pretty funny I make jokes about being a lala all the time and I have played one since I started years ago xD

So does that mean calling them a potato is a step-up from being called a kid? 😆

The fuck is a lalafels? Sorry never played ff14. Kidding I did only 3 hours tough and then lost all my save data and forgot my password. However I am a huge ff fan.

Master race to you

Congrats, you have the mind of a toddler

@@LordOdio I feel like your reading level is that of a toddler.

@@mayleelove4332 only because your writing level has not progressed past pre school hun

@@LordOdio Just take the L, quit making stories up in your head.

@@LordOdio Other than a comma I could have included after 'say,' I'll wait for you to update me on any grammar errors you can find, be my guest. Or you could learn to read.

also- Grooming? Not once have I ever heard anyone refer to a lalfell as a groomer. these people Literally need to go touch some grass.

@@LuminateTheWorld no actually. They just need to go outside more

​@Snubby i think *from other places i have seen* is people who want flirt with lalafell or erp with them are more targed as groomer.

Western society snowflake issue... Tbh why should you get offended by being called pedophile, if they say in their own words that lalas aren't children 🤔

At least ya'll had Papashan. Homie was like my in game Grandpa when I first started.

it's more about the fact that accusing someone of being a pedophile can have serious life damaging ramifications. obviously that isn't going to happen because of a video game, but people are still going to get defensive about it.

@@magicman25103 If youre attracted to something that looks like a child you need help. Nuff said. If youre not doing it like i said - simple as saying "Oh i dont ERP" if youre on balmung or go there often - Dont be surprised when people assume.

@@ravenblade5035 Youre not wrong that it happens everywhere, theres 2 people who i had to blacklist from my venue because of it - and if they dont like it then they shouldnt let words on the internet get to them that badly - especially if the shoe dont fit - ALSO youre not a child no by lore - but you do look like one, so if youre attracted to that - GET HELP. If the shoe dont fit then why are you upset????

@@magicman25103 But in a context like this, where it would have no meaningful effect on your life unless you're running around the game blurting out real life identifying information, and you know they're not operating on any meaningful information when making that accusation...

@@ravenblade5035 It doesn't matter what they are. They look like children, so people treat them like children. If you don't like how your Lalafel is treated, just pick a different race. You are in full control of that.

It's like the kid with a single mom, waiting for her to get done stripping.
