I'm so sorry those people don't have good taste. There's no such thing as a "boring" option when, first of all, there's a limited option of what you can choose and play, and second, when it doesn't affect anyone's game but yours. You do you!! Hyurs are amazing, please don't ever be discouraged about that.

And yes, I have had the same comments said to me before because a good majority of the characters I like in XIV are Hyurs. If they're considered boring, then why do they keep creating good-looking humans? I mean, look at Ancients. Yes, a good portion of them are peeled races, but they're hot!! And human-adjacent!! I'm a simple person and so are Hyurs, and if that's considered basic/boring, then damn, guess we all are too.
