Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

[fandom: Final Fantasy XIV, spoilers for Endwalker]

Like most of the fanbase, I am ass-over-teakettle in love with every single Ancient they've paraded out in front of us, and I'm devouring fanart and buying merch like no one's business.

The problem... is Erichthonios. Or rather, the lack of him.

I would almost be willing to let this go because of him being locked behind a raid series, and not everyone does the raids, but Themis is locked behind the same raid and there is tons of art/merch of him. He's often alongside the Elpis crew in fanworks-- sometimes in lieu of Hermes, which is literally the exact same problem.

I want so badly for this to be a "we're waiting to get to know him better" and not a "you know why", but I'm starting to lose faith. Pls don't be racist, fandom.

[no need to add this to the secret, but, for context: Hermes has a medium skintone, and Erich is very dark-skinned, while Themis and the Elpis crew are all quite pale. :/]

Eh. I've seen loads of art/merch of Erenville so I don't think it's a skin color thing.

Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

Yeah, I just don't think there's enough to Erich yet.

That plus honestly his design is just really ugly for reasons that have nothing to do with the dark skin. His hair color and style is just... ugh. It would be ten times better if the orange was a little more muted and less neon, but that color would look terrible on a character with light skin too.
