Wait huh... now that I noticed, there wasn't even any Hrothgar presence in the Shadowbringer trailer, right? Oof.Quote:

01-04-2023, 02:14 AMMidareyukkiKeep in mind that they rendered a Viera on SHB's opening Hrothgar have no such thing. Even Roes at least had a presence with 1.0's trailer.Quote:

01-04-2023, 02:20 AMSlouchyBardI had to rewatch the Shadowbringers trailer and Holy Moly. Makes me wonder when they release the female Hrothgars if they will be in the trailer or just billed as a stand in. Makes me sad. Hopefully they turn out well, cause I am on the fence for trading in the scales if they do.Quote:

That's why pretty much every expansion has contained events that have not happened in the game, they're proofs of concept, in a sense.Quote:

Because that's what I'm getting at: Viera have had a presence, Obese Miqo'te have had some too, even Male Roegadyn have some with the 1.0 trailer. And yet Hrothgar haven't even had a mention.
I'll also argue that they had both races done, and that the opening sequence could have also included a Hrothgar in 3D rendering as a way to reveal the race. The final trailer is always presented along the final few bits of relevant information. They could have found a way to introduce one somewhere, but they didn't. "They hadn't introduced Hrothgar yet", that's... literally no excuse :T plus, they had already accidentally leaked the race with the FR translation and even hinted at it with Yoshida's shirt the event before. People knew there was something "catty" going on. And it's perfectly fine to display something strange and leonine on the trailer as the reveal, and then elaborate further down on the panel. -
