Hothgar was an exciting reveal!

I'm glad there is finally a beast like race though I am disappointed there will be no females.

Realy wish they first remove the gender lock, female Ronso <3

Aside from that, the texture looks horrible and they picked one of the worst male body type, male roegadyn. This new race looks like a rush job, compared the Viera.

I look forward to the big fluffies I can hug while waiting for dungeons!

I'm glad OP is happy. I wonder how many will actually chose this race as an option. Because I don't think they resonated that well with the player base, especially the japanese one.

I can't say I'll ever play one, but it'll be exciting to get into a duty finder and have one of my companions being something so unique.

Incredible post, you nailed it with your vision and positivity among all this bickering tonight, bravo.

The texture doesn't look too bad. It's just the lighting in the preview video that's not doing it any favours.

Not a big fan of the form though. They look weirdly shaped at certain angles.

Most of you must not know but back in the 1985-89 there was a really famous animation series called thundercats when we were really really young everyone would love them and wanted to become one.

I liked the Rothgar. It is good to see them go a bit further and beyond "Human with animal bit clued on them"

As an added bonus, now I will not feel like I'm the only big character when on duties.

I am glad we get Ronsos. But I wish they'd adjust the bodies a bit. I don't like that they basically have Roegadyn bodies. I want them buff, but maybe 20% slimmer than your average Roe. Kimahri should have been the template for the race.

I've waited a longtime for a more bestial race and salty over them being genderlocked... Meh.
