Final Fantasy 14🅺's small peopꦍle are debating whether they actually like being patted on the head.

Lalafells are the humorously small creatures of Final Fantasy🐼 14, if you didn't already know. They're pretty comedic, all things considered, whether it's other players acting as Lalafells, or in-game characters like Tataru Taru, widely beloved by all. Now though, the Reddit post below has sought out Lalafell players to determine whether or not they actually like being patted on the head.

"Depressed brain will take 🤪any amount of positivity. Headpats are a blessing," writes one enthused Lalafell player. Another writes, "I love it for the same reason, people want to pet cute things!". Someone, admittedly not a Lalafell, adds "You chose to be two feet tall. Accept this is your lot in life."

It's true: Lalafells generally get a lot of attention for their antics, and it's nearly always related to their height. A Lalafell troupe recently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:performed a rendition of Pirates of the Caribbea🍌n, for example, drawing in hordes of raving fans, while everyone was generally horrified to find hordes of Lalafells as bots underneath a popular in-g💝ame loওcation

"Usually, I do not mind them, I even like them," writes one thoug𝔍htful Lalafell. "Random drive-by head pat? Sure, cute, But someone head patting me after I explain a boss' mechanics for the fifth time? Get that condesce♏nsion out of here."

In short, context and timing seem to be key with Lalafell head patting: don't spam the emote or pat a Lalafell when they're explaining something to you. If you remember and stick🐽 by these golden rules, it seems Lala൲fells are quite alright with the occasional head pat.

Elsewhere, Final Fantasy's series creator is still hooked on Final Fantasy 14, so much so that he's now getting scolded by his work colleagues.
