You've discovered the bottomless well of horny. Now do Miquote female.

Yep, as a DPS who is used to rarely getting comms, I now joke when I do get them it's because of the portrait! 😁

My partner changed from Viera male to Lalafell female, making super cute portraits for every job, specifically to farm comms and yup, it works.

As a lalafell DPS main, the cute portrait comms are very real.

Honestly, having a good looking character helps big time! When giving comms I go healer first and if they weren't good. Tank and then prettiest plate.

But that's just me though 😅😅

An attractive character and slick adventure plate will win over most people the majority of the time, in my experience. Imo, there's no way to tell in-game how well people did, barring deaths/revives, and really good healers, so what sticks in your mind after combat is that cute miqo that was winking at you at the start.

Since the portrait addition, having a good-looking character and cool/fun portrait are the best ways to farm commendations. I actually like that, because when playing an MMO expressing myself is more fun to me than the gameplay.

Not that I can talk. I main healer, so I've got nearly twice as many comms as I have instances run.

I comm pretty bunny boys 😔
