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.
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.
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.
@@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 reason cat girl failed is because they just get swept up in the sea of cat girls. They all look exactly the same to me, none of them stick out, not even a little bit.
@triplebub Ehhh.. I've seen fem viera and and middies that were unique and stood out. But yeah, to some degree, but they're not at the same level as cat girl in that regard though.
@@triplebub there are a lot of uncreative players race design wise. Lala's are just cute head pats are a must. Thighlander get that same type of bias without trying. Viera takes a little effort in design, but ppl will be all over you in no time the base race gear is probably the sexiest next to Thighlander Hempen gear. Cats rely on energy to stand out from there on its a spiral. Femroe are rare, so it's a race to get one before they are taken. Midlander have to try to look like Thighlanders is the best bet. Elezen are like Roe, but players have types so you will get sniped more so than widespread attention.
Are you kidding me cat girls literally have so many facial variations from pupils, teeth, facial markings, eyebrows, tails, earrings etc. I see alot of unique kitty girls when people properly customize. Dragon girls on the other hand are all tiniest setting and are usually 1 of 2 faces.
@@sourPatchkidHaley the problem is people just see something and copy they lack actual creativity. Then alot of the games customization to make things easier are locked behind quests like dye and hairstyles. Even if you are experienced starting from scratch without the luxuries of customization can be difficult.
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 😊
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!
"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.
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.
@@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
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! 👀)
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.
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
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
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.
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….
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
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...
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
Can you please please please release a character creation for your Iconic miqo’te girl with black hair and red eyes I’ve tried replicating her for so long but I can never make her look like yours.
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.
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
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.
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?"
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!
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.
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.
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.
The Quicksand on Balmung specifically is a particular hotspot for people looking for certain types of rp, because like a certain inn in another game on a specific server, it is real close to a starting point for new characters, additionally, it is the most open of the taverns in the starting cities, giving ample space for people to spread out into little clusters. Balmung is also the main legacy server on what is commonly known as the rp data center, Crystal. So for those reasons, it probably originally was a bit of an RP hotspot in the early days, when it became a hotspot for certain types of rp, i have no idea. But it is now infamous for it to the point that people from every NA dc comes and visits to either rp there or just take a look at the degeneracy going on.
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).
.... 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!
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.)
Would love to see this video with the guys. I got rizzed up on my Miqo alt the other day while waiting in line to see Santa Claus at a holiday rp event lol
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
I don't know if it is just my Ears, but I now hope there's someone out there rocking a Malenia Glamour with female Hrothgar. I also wonder if they can wear a fitting Helm?
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.
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 TH-cam. lol
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.
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.

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.
Welcome back! White hair is best hair, prove me wrong.
wait why are so many people at the tavern in uldah? ive never seen more then a couple in a year
The Quicksand on Balmung specifically is a particular hotspot for people looking for certain types of rp, because like a certain inn in another game on a specific server, it is real close to a starting point for new characters, additionally, it is the most open of the taverns in the starting cities, giving ample space for people to spread out into little clusters. Balmung is also the main legacy server on what is commonly known as the rp data center, Crystal.
So for those reasons, it probably originally was a bit of an RP hotspot in the early days, when it became a hotspot for certain types of rp, i have no idea. But it is now infamous for it to the point that people from every NA dc comes and visits to either rp there or just take a look at the degeneracy going on.
And the Mateus Quicksands is kinda "balmung-lite" - RPers will tend go there to find RP partners for less degen RP activities.
@@Apollad2 interesting. I had no idea. Thx for the info!
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).
I'm jealous of your Uldah population. When I go there on my server it's just empty except for the markets xD
.... 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!
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.)
MY FRIENDS ARE IN THIS IM SCREAMING
Highlander into Hrothgar fantasia dropped my aura HARD huh?
Been waiting for more content. Great to see new vid🎉🎉
The last 10 seconds: Me too Avy, me too... :(
Before watching the video, my answer was Femra. After that, I still stand by my statement. I'm only partially biased as a Femra player.
4:40 Someone have excellent taste.
[SPOIL] As a proud male Lalafell player, this surprising win makes me perplexed x'D
Would love to see this video with the guys. I got rizzed up on my Miqo alt the other day while waiting in line to see Santa Claus at a holiday rp event lol
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...
You had to be face 3 miqote to get the attention instantly! It's the meta
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
Innnnn balmung quicksand starting off strong I see
I don't know if it is just my Ears, but I now hope there's someone out there rocking a Malenia Glamour with female Hrothgar. I also wonder if they can wear a fitting Helm?
The research she does for science that no one asked for.
Oh y'all asked for it, don't lie!
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.
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 TH-cam. lol
k so conclusion, outside JP servers it's Au Ra ladies at no.1. We already knew this!
avy youtube wants me to see your videos again. it wants me to know of your crimes -dero
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.
Lalas are best in everything, tols.
No no no... You made a Midlander with the wrong face. No wonder it took so long to get a reply.
