Their "evil smirk" face is so cartoonish it made the final battle against Zenos for me. I remember being disappointed how muted the facial expression looked in the MSQ on any other races.

I do not have a rhothgar on my account but I will create one tonight after work and family stuff, and report back, if you are really genuinely that curious, or if you think it will add something to the discussion. Maybe their body language is very expressive, I have no idea. My issue is mainly with the facial expressions that I have witnessed so far.

Would have liked to see a Highlander. But they did Arenvald pretty dirty so I'm not holding my breath. How in the hell in a setting where you can raise people from the dead, probably Cure their limbs back on, does a guy get left like that? I've seen BLMs get almost literally nuked repeatedly on a single boss fight and come back to full with a swiftcast raise. How in the hell in a setting where I have literally MULTIPLE magitek mounts does this guy get left in a WOODEN wheelchair? This guy deserved a Professor X Allagan hoverchair at LEAST - get Cid and Nero on this ASAP.

Just shaking my head.

I will forever be dissapointed that he didn't show up in the G Warrior at some point.

• Almost all female Au Ra have the angry face with horns looking forward
• Almost all male Highlanders have Ilberd's face
• Almost all male Roegadyn are max height with the same 3 hairstyles
• Almost all male Miqo'te have Larryzaur's hairstyle
• Every single female Miqo'te looks the same but with different hair style/color
• Every single female Elezen looks exactly the same, period.
• Lalafell are practically indistinguishable by gender until/unless you hear their voice

But "they all look the same" is only a problem when it's about Hrothgar.... Ok...

That won't be so straightforward. Remember that the Garleans managed to make a fully-grown Hrothgar with a broken spine be able to "walk around" through magitek and all that. The experience eventually led to him being a Hypertuned. Now, I won't say that that's what will inherently happen when Cid and Nero get to Arenvald, but there are issues with them doing it with Magitek.

Also :^) technically you got Lyse (kind of, blame ARR) and Raubahn. And in Sidequests you have Hildibrand and Godbert, the latter of which even has relevance in the Stormblood MSQ. Gerolt also appears in every expansion for the relic weapons. All of them memorable characters. Highlanders aren't that under-represented.

Ever noticed that whenever Hrothgar, who have been silent for the past three years, say something about how the community has been treating them in that time, and point to the quality of the stuff they got THE ONE TIME from the devs, people instantly call us shit?

We're not the Vieras who spammed the hell out of the dev team. We haven't done jack shit. We didn't even ask for Ronsos, we were just given by the dev team out of THEIR own volition.

So why the constant hate on us? The hell have we ever done?

"Exist", like Ivtrix said?

Thanks. It's so good to know that we're hated for absolutely nothing.

I do hope so, the Source needs some prevalent VOICED hrothgars. It's such a weird feeling seeing them almost completely absent. I feel like Rostik might become more relevant, since I recall something about Thancred getting some focus after 6.0, and how he mentioned he wasn't able to meet up with Rostik during 6.1, so they'll probably come back to that eventually.

But the more pressing issue is that we need to retire prevalent characters with white hair! Enough I say!

It was kinda creepy to just see them voicelessly emoting in the background before we headed to Garlemald.

The WoL new group should have more varios type of races, I would love to see new Hrothgar, Roegadyn or Viera in the new adventure saga

PS 1. and for the godsake, no more "WHITE HAIR"!
PS 2. I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning hard for this language :(

I would actually love one of 7.0's antagonists to be the brand new Hrothgar female! It could be a really nice way to introduce the race... Imagine 7.0 reveal stage of the CGI and suddenly BAM, we see all her glory.

Sorry guys but if your race doesn't have sex appeal that isn't automatically degenerate you can't join the Scion club.
