As a lalafell player myself, the best part is people walking up to you, petting you, then continuing on their merry way.

You did forget that many Minions are sitting on the head of a Lalafell. This is one of the cutest perks for being a Lalafell.

"There was this fantasia sale that one time-" Literally the backstory of 90% lalafell population.

When I get in a dungeon with 3 lalafells and 1 other race it's like our parent is taking us on a field trip.

I love walking around a city and suddenly hearing "WOOO YEEEEAH YAHEAY, WOOO HAHAHAAHA-" fade in and it's a Lala standing there spamming the cheer emote. Makes my day every time! Also I, as a Roegadyn, love healing Lalafel tanks. The dynamic feels like we're one of those huge dogs like a Newfoundland or Great Dane that don't know they're huge and are terrified of tiny animals that they could easily flatten, and a tiny chihuahua that has no idea it's a potato and just wants to pick a fight with everything 10 times its size. Once I got a dungeon on roulette as healer where I had an entire party of Lalafel. Felt like I was running a daycare :)

Playing lala is love/hate relationship: - Half of the playerbase adore you, while the other half wish you don't exist. - You always look cute, but you can't take your WoL seriously on msq cutscenes - Other races feels more tall, but you feel so tiny (real life problems) - You wish to fantasia back to your original character, but then you start to miss your lala

1:20 "they are very easy to see" My Raid leader: "Ok, we need to split into light parties. Stand on the A and B markers. Why do we only have 3 people in this stack? *Starts counting* Oh, nevermind, we have 4 in each, I missed the Lala."

Their emotes are so good. I am a Viera main but damn.... running around as a little Gremlin high-fivining people's knees and running away, then using the comfort emote to get headpats...Very tempting to go back to Lala

I'm a bit of a shy, socially anxious type even in games. As a Lalafell, it's far easier to interact with random people in postive ways. Just go up to people in town and do your cutest/funniest emotes and you'll receive some headpats and hugs from your new friends. Super-easy ice breaker. Try emoting at random strangers as a cat girl or bunny. They'll just think you're weird.

As a lala main I can confirm: Lalafell mains are either wholesome beans or absolute chaos gremlins. There is no inbetween. It is the best. I also have my main, and then my alts Wind-up Gaius, Wind-up Cid, and Wind-up Agrias. ALL THE SMOL.

My lala is a warrior, and I specifically got the Titan axe because it's literally larger than her whole body. Being this tiny little lady with this GIANT HUGE AXE is just the funniest thing to me and I couldn't be happier.

I mained cat boy, and now bunny boy, but I always take breaks to become a popoto when not doing serious things like MSQ where I want to self insert for cutscenes. The #1 reason is that everything about Lala leads to no social anxiety. I have awful anxiety and struggle to talk to people, even in games. But I think being a chihuahua makes me feel like there are no expectations at all and removes 90% of that anxiety, leaving me with just silly fun.

Fun fact about the beds inside the dwarf houses, the /doze emote will work with them. There's also another dwarf house that Lalafells can enter in the other dwarf town across the map.

I'm a Lala main and just finished Endwalker and that last 1v1 fight cutscene was... amusing... lol But in general, I love my Lala girl and try to make her a very serious WoL despite her size and adorableness. ❤

I main a Lalafell Monk. I initially made them as a joke, being the smallest race, with the shortest range and then being the class with no ranged attacks worth mention, but I quickly fell in love with just how adorable they are and got caught up in developing a backstory as to just why they are like this.

Fun Fact: Since Lalafell's are smol, their animations are a tad bit faster. Like for instance, mining or chopping in the Diadem is a tiny bit faster as a Lalafell then any other race because they don't have to swing their arms so far. I am literally not joking about this fact XD

I used to play as a miqo for years. One day fanta'd into lalabro and haven't looked back since. Lalafell emotes are pure winning

My fc-mates are consistently delighted by my being a lala tank.

Been a Lalafell since the beginning of ARR. I had no idea others get weird messages because I never get one. Anyway, just like FFXIV, there is a point of no return from a Lalafell at certain point. I myself are way past this and I cannot imagine myself not being a Lalafell. Even in MSQ cutscenes, it feels more epic to see tiny me going against the big bad like David and Goliath.

being a lala makes it so much easier to approach people, especially other lalas. i so a lala with really cool glam and sent her a tell and all of sudden a group of popotos were gathered in ul’dah emoting at each other like it was some kind of convention

As a healer I feel more comfortable when the tank is a Lalafell. Lala Tanks are ungodly W2W pulling dynamos more often than not

The first time I saw a Lalafell tank, I thought "you have got to be 🤬 kidding me." Now I have a Lalafell Dark Knight. She's cool and cute.

Reason 11: It makes sad scenes more heartbreaking. If your Lala is cute enough, you'll almost choke in tears at the sight of your cute little thing going through immense pain of loss. For a good example, the "Certain event in Heavensward". Anyone who played it knows what I'm talking about. I almost cried myself seeing my Lala look broken.

I'll never be a Lalafell (I love my Gigachad Highlander too much), but they bring me joy every time I see or hear them--especially if they have a punny name, like, "Spuddy Buddy," or "Wind-up anything."🥰

I chose being a Tank Lala because I thought it would be funny, but I got attached and now I could never switch out. Lalafell is truly the peak of Eorzea. Cutest emotes, all of their combat emotes are so exaggerated its awesome LOL It just makes everything more grand, cities feel bigger, Viera’s look taller, bosses are insanely massive in comparison. Free headpats are nice too

Cut scenes as a lala are also hilarious. Playing through the MSQ is so much fun watching them all.

Still the most under appreciated FFXIV YT channel. 💯 deserve your growth

You can also give them silly names that are still lore accurate like Pupipi Pupi. I think there's a real lalafell NPC in Thanalan named Memedesu

A lot of people say you can't take them seriously, but I don't feel that way at all with my character. I can't imagine the game without him, he can easily look heroic, even with cute clothes, and shows a range of emotions. Honestly, his serious face is more serious than the serious face of traditionally serious characters.

My main RP character is a min height Lalafel tank (she's got a full backstory as to why she's ONLY a tank or Melee DPS). If someone mocks her size she just shield bashes them across the knees and/or shins, let's them crumble to the ground in pain, then asks them "so who has the height advantage?"

I started ffxiv as a lala and it cured my depression

I think my fav detail of Lalafell is that they’re canonically just solid muscle.

A Lala might get less creepy tells - but those they get might be worse than what you get on a tall. And yes, Lalafell are absolutely ADORABLE!

I became a Lalafell for the Dwarf houses. I stayed Lalafell for the illusion of speed, the fact our models are the closest to the player hit box and because we're just cute. I changed back to a miqote last year, and couldn't stand it for more than a day, I just felt too big and heavy

I remember my first time visiting FF14.. Chose to play a Lalafell, because it was the extreme opposite of what I usually would play, so I thought I give it a try. At some point I managed to enter that desert-city, being overwhelmed by it's sheer livelyness. Didn't took 10 minutes before some catgirls gathered around me and started to pet my head. Didn't took another 10 minutes and I continued my journey as a "Pimp"-Lalafell. Lalafell/10 Charming race.

/sooth is the uppies emote. /Comfort is used for patting heads of talls when they are seated.

I absolutely love playing as a lala!!!! Seeing my character just fills me with joy >w

Shoutout to Zenos von Smolvus from crystal. "A TEST OF YOUR ANKLE STRENGTH!"

Dungeon run with 4 lala always makes me smile.

What if I told you the lalafell going "wooo!" in the fight, may also be a Miquo'te? Female Miquo'te and Lalafell share a voice you can pick :D

I recently started playing lala, and the most encouraging and awesome thing for me is, every mob and boss feels bigger when you play a potato. It gives that feeling from older games where tiny hero go against big evil, it's such a cool thing, i can't wait when i get to the raids and trials to feel it even more. Also, i'm purposely keeping my camera close to char just to get this great feel. Yes, i'm probably gonna die a lot in alliances xD

I started playing at the beginning of January this year. I chose an Au Ra, female. But you know what? It came down to a coin flip. I was THIS close to playing a Lalafell. A Lalafell gladiator to be exact. There are still days I wish I were a Lalafell. I have a vial of phantasia from the msq. It's very tempting to switch. I do enjoy spending time with Lalas though. I spend a lot of time crafting, and every now and again, I get tracked down in my little isolated corners by Lalas, and just having them sit with me or cheer me on while I craft... it just warms my heart and makes me feel a little less lonely.

As someone who gets really uncomfortable with erp and random pms, playing as a lala really helped steer clear of those situations. People are super friendly and will even just randomly try to gift me things as well even more when I play my lala vs the other races that I play.

After watching this I really wanted to main Lala (I originally main Miqo'te) I had even made a cute lala and had all sorts of fun interactions until I told a friend about my decision. My friend was disgusted by this and had given me a lecture about how lalas only cause drama and that only pedos play them and that I would understand all of this when i stopped being a sprout. a lot more was said, but I dont want to talk about here. It heavily discouraged me to play and I cant help but feel really sad. I just wanted to play them to be cute and get head pats and friendly interactions. ;-;

As an male Aura player (due to wanting someone that looks like a tank, since I am Gunbreaker tank for my friendgroup) I have to admit Lala females manage to make nearly any outfit look cute. But: I can't swap. I love my Nanamo pet sitting on my shoulder way to much, not gonna lie.

I've played lalafell from the first day I ever played and honest to god you really nailed the reasons why I have a nigh impossible time imagining ever fantasia-ing away from my lala main. We lala mains are very sociable folk, just like the race we play

Funny story, I was doing a raid with my FP and we made a simple bet on how many times I would die during the raid till completion, at the time i didn't think about it too much...till i lost. I was then requested to phantasia into a lala for an entire month. I was the ONLY lala in the FP (a very grumpy lala who ran around looking at them sideways) and i can confirm, everything from being pet by random people and given cookies/snacks it's all true. I have stayed a lala since then.

I decided to make a Lalafell character for a story my buddy is doing and during one of the dungeons I was tanking in, there were two other Lalafell and a female Miqo'te White Mage. That shit was hilarious.

I don't play a Lala but I like them and they make me laugh. They all seem like pretty decent folk too so to each their own.

I played an Elezen for years, then switched to Lala and now I am in love. I like being cute and tiny, I like the head pats. I like being able to cheer people up just by doting them. It's the best.

Just started playing about 2 weeks ago, first character I created was a Lalafell thaumaturge. Figured something that small aught to posses the most powerful of magics! Just about fell out of my chair with laughter when I rolled into the thaumaturge guild! So damned adorable!

My old favorite line can be used again when playing as Lalafell "It's only a short way'? Is that a short joke?!"

As a Lalafell myself, Thank you for this video! Also the uppies emote is /soothe

Gotta do a shout out to my main, Elezen! It gets a bad rap being the 'giraffe' race and not actually having the Aymeric face usable, but I stan my lanky boys and girls. 1. Instagrace. People are gonna look at your characters long limbs and delicate expressions and immediately think 'high class.' Anything your character does is gonna look elegant, even if the running looks more like jogging. They're not out here breaking a sweat you know? 2. A less played race! You'll stand out immediately if you play an Elezen, and there's always an 'oh!' moment from people when they realize you aren't a bun, hyur, kitty or lala. It tricks people into thinking you actually think before you make your choices. Bonus points for Darkwights. 3. Lore heavy! You got a lot of elezen lore that gives you a ton of backstories you can give your Elezen. Are they a Duskwight tribefolk? A Duskwight trying to eek out an honest living in Gridania despite the racial prejudice? A wildwood Gridanian farmer? Old Ishgardian money? A lesser family's child trying to create a worthy family legacy as a knight? A Sharlayan scholar intent on uncovering the mysteries of the world? Tons of options! 4. HEAVENSWARD BABY. Wanna fit in amongst some of FFXIV's most beloved characters, like Estinien and Aymeric and Harchafaunt? Want to blend into the crowds of what is implied to be the WOL's second home? Want to stand side by side with a student of the Academy, or blend into the Temple Knights? Ishgard is considered one of the best areas in the game, and it can feel like home! 5. Never lose yourself in a crowd. You hate how people will bunch up during Leap of Faith? Have trouble finding where you are among the cat girls and buff hyur cosplaying as sexy chocobos? You'll tower over 80% of your dungeon groups, and the rest have such distinctive features that it'll be easy to tell which one you are in the crowd. Smaller races will have to look up at you when they talk to you, and just imagine your tiny waifus and manlet husbands tilting their heads up at you. Just be prepared to become the defacto babysitter in a dungeon when you inevitably tower over all the catgirls you got thrown into duty finder with. 6. Darkwight have a good in-universe reason to have glowing white star freckles. What more need be said? 7. The /dance emote. You just look so half assed doing it. You look so unhappy to be there. 8. Faux Garleans! Ever wanted to play a Garlean, but the hyur faces and height just werent doing it for you? Many Garleans, esp Emet-Selch, were built on top of Elezen frames and use Elezen emotes. Take the smallest ears and bigger hair, buy a Star of Nezha and bam! Instant Garelan! 9. Perfect Canvases. Ever get a gorgeous outfit that's just a little bit hard to see on your lalafell? Doesn't quite fit your Roegadyn's aggressive emotes or stances? Is just kind of There on a Hyur? Gets lost in the business of Au Ra? Can't show the hat on Hroth or Viera? Elezen are the perfect fashion models for both showing off every inch of those well-earned pixels, but also doing so in a way that subtly elevates the look with your elegant stances. Even that notorious neck has been accounted for in many of the newer pieces, and often barely even registers if it even shows at all. 10. Scion Elezen Takeover. Between you, Urianger, the twins and [spoiler] you completely outnumber the others in terms of pure representation. They shall see. Soon they shall all see. Join the tall. Join the tall. JOIN THE TALL. JOIN THE TALL--

4:29 that's me in lala bench =D The red ear lalafel

Lalafell was a big reason I wanted to start playing FFXIV, and I was one until EW. If only Lalas had glam options beyond "cute" 😭

Great Video as always. Really looking forward to Roegadyn!

Been lala since I started and it's very true that it helps to make friends!! People made me feel so comfortable in the game now I can just go up and talk to strangers!!

I still can’t get over seeing a Lalafell as a Tank, it’s just the funniest. But it’s the expression that we appreciate.

Lalafell quest specific dialogue always mention that they're "shorter than usual" - it gets really funny especially when the WoL gets taken the mick of.

Ey, this channel's pretty lit. Ya got some fire content, such a good find for somebody such as myself being a sprout of ff14. You earned yourself a subscriber .😎

Something I loved about playing as a Lalafell is how they can make serious scenes unintentionally funny, but also make the sad scenes even sadder. Rewatching some of the sad scenes, where major characters, as a Dunesfolk, it was shocking how much more heartbroken my character appeared, as opposed to playing as other races.

In 2021, I fantastia-ed to a lalafell from a fem-aura. It was meant to be a funny temporary thing, just until the next patch when I was planning to get eb-ed to my manra partner. I even bought a second fantasia. It is 2023 and that second fantasia is still in my chocobo saddlebag. No turning back.

As a lala player, I thank you for this delightful video. :3

Honestly I'm a new player and pretty shy myself, so I might as well become a lalafell to find some friends.

Lala are my favorite race and the first one I picked. seeing them as tanks is just too funny and they are always adorable. The only problem with them is their size is too small for armor and it doesn't look as well on them.

You're actually coming with good reasons! That's awesome, there was so many things I didn't knew! :DDDD

Wow I never thought about the fact that lalafells can enter the dwarf houses in kholusia. Definitely gotta go check this out

Hahaha 😂 You had me at 7. This is second video of yours that popped into my page and you are amazing! Thank you for the smile and laughter, I needed it. ❤️ Subscribed. Glory to Lalafells!🎉

this video cured my burnout i want to play my lalafell again

The "asking for uppies" one is /soothe, and I love spamming it whenever I'm playing a lala

as a Lala main this is all true. Best sub community. Everyone is so friendly to me and I can literally walk up and wave to any random bloke and I will get pets XD

Your sense of humour and sarcasm always make me crack up! Funny thing is that I play (among several toons) a male Lalafell, but I specifically gave him a deeper voice like you'd hear on a Roe or a Hrothgar. People came up and joined me when I had my campfire minion out, and one of the Miquotes was cracking up when I hit /chuckle and this deep boisterous laugh erupted. (She said wasn't expecting THAT voice which I said was exactly the reason I chose it. :) ) You hear stories about a lot of folks hating on the Lalas, sometimes quite viciously, and while I've encountered a few who like to trash-talk us smol folks, most have been especially kind to my lil guy. I get THE best reactions from people walking up and petting my Lalafell and giving him minions-- which is adorable, or when I am on my Hrothgar because he has a cute name based on a tv show. Just out of nowhere, people walk up and give me hugs. It's wonderful!

They call me the Lalafrag. Pull the pin, throw me in. FIRE IV

As a Lala..I can just go up and hug anybody and cheer them on and its makes their day. Tormenting the Weebo Police is also a nice perk...if you know, you know.

Good to see a fellow demon Lala

I lost it when she did the manderville xD Love this video so much

As a min height lala, I like to greet my friends with a hug on one of their legs...cuz that's usually all I can reach 😂 As a tank...knee height and ready to fight!!

Reason 11: Best Camera Angles.

As well as the Lalafell-only house in Tomra, which is fairly common knowledge by now, there’s a second Lalafell-only house in Komra, which tends to go unnoticed for whatever reason

Definitely a top 10 reason is the expressions. People who only try lala as a fantasia holiday might not notice, but their faces are way more expressive in cutscenes. In conparison tallfolk are just :| :/ ;| all the time.

Great video again 😊 Elezen next/soon please 💓

Dude your videos are amaizng. Definitely a reason that convinced me to get FFxiv

From a Realm Reborn to Shadowbringers i play Lalafell male, with a deep voice and mainly Tank and i love it. It´s a so cool race. The only reason i don´t play it anymore is Viera are my favorit race since Final Fatasy tactics advance.

I’ll never forget the time I qued up a leveling roulette and loaded into Halatali with three Lalafell maids. It was like going on a school field trip. (My character’s a bunny girl, btw)

! You forgot the minions! Some of them will sit on your head, it's adorable

Lalafell: Cutely breaking a Gods kneecaps.

I never considered making a Lala, I just was not interested. Then I watch this and now I'm like, "Hmm, maybe a Lalafell alt someday wouldn't be so bad after all~" Well done AvyCatte, well done.

1. play lalafell when you want to be a cucumber whatever you put on, 2. play lalafell when you wish your sight being blocked by the legs of the giantic boss, 3. play lalafell healer so that your team members fail to spot where you are when stacking is required

Once upon a time, an Elezen and a Goblin had a baby. After much tongue-flaps and busy-talk, this happy-bundle gained the name-label of Lalafell.

The tank point is so true! I started FF14 knowing I was going for a sword and shield protector narrative(Reinhardt-like) but I was still a little stuck between the more serious approach of a large Hyur or the pure comedic cuteness of a Lalafell. If I was more of a comedy person... it would have been the Lala.

What's even more confusing and most annoying to me; it's when a Migote is running around with a lala voice c.c Yeah they can use a few of them too and days super stressing me out, whenever I hear / spot a lala cat

Do Aura's next :D

It's about time and thank you

i like being a lalafell. i recently started playing them. and they are fun to roleplay with. taken from michelle from full house i love to run after people and say Wait for me i have little legs!

my friend once streamed herself playing 14, she was a lalafell. i had never played an mmorpg, nor did i have the need to. all i wanted was to be lalafell. within a week i had the full version of the game

You had me cackling at "the bringer of nods."

I've now been convinced to have a Lala alt

I can't wait for the Roegadyn video :D

This made me fantasia from miqo to lala 😭 as if my fantasia use wasn’t already too much
