Gotta agree with this, the more information about Hrothgar the more I'm like...I didn't originally want this race...but now I do.
Love the aesthetic of The Lost.

If you can make Viera ears shorter, as in the tips are close to the top of the head, then I think they will be fine for me. Or maybe the bent option is more for me I guess lol. I just expected something different than the 2 eye shadows, beauty marks, and middle of forehead emblem thing, that all the other females get with nothing that seem unique to them for a facial feature. (It seems anyway if this is the finale set of facial features)

Thighlanders get a lot of love. No doubt about it, but I think the perceived dislike for them skews the overall number of players that actually select them for avatars. However, I think a lot of the negativity comes from their animations. I personally find them to be extremely cute and feminine, and don't mind their animations at all. Their voices are also more subtle so combat with them tends to be less annoying than other race choices.

As far as the Viera is concerned, I was never expecting a host of customization that far exceeds what we already have. And if there were, it would just set off a bunch of players who would want an equivalent selection for all the other races. Imagine the riot if they were given a butt slider, holy crap! But I also thinking we're jumping the gun a bit here after seeing just one Instagram pic. But from this picture alone, I do like their round faces, big eyes, and pouty lips. Looking Hyuran is not an issue for me considering they are not a beast race like the Rothgar, and very much what I was expecting with the implementation of this new race.

I personally love female midlander's run animation.

I think its so cute, i want it for my cat girl.

Honestly when i made this character i was torn between female miqo'te or female midlander.

We're getting the nose, Fran's pouty mouth option, big eyes, etc. I'm not sure how the feet will go and limb length may be tweaked a tad, but they're still pretty close.

They had longer limbs/nails and generally more poised postures, I think the viera look great but they're pretty much just a better looking Hyur, I probably would have liked them more if there was an option to make them look similar to their tactics iteration if applicable.

Again I think they look good as far as textures go, very pretty and demure from what I can see. I don't think people should have expected all that much though, we know they use a lot of bold statements in their advertisements such as "NEW NEVER BEFORE SEEN CONTENT" to advertise eureka, when it was essentially diadem with relic tied to it until pyros.

Overall I'm looking forward to messing with them in the character creator won't switch to one but they look good, really makes me wish they'd give the older models(Elzen, midlander, roe) the same treatment with texture updates.

WHO'S SHAVING MY EYEBROWS!? WHO!!!

.... Every male highlander goes through a crisis point in their life, people have no idea the social anxiety we have. Any one of you could be shaving our eyebrows.. We don't know.

Is it you? Are you taking my brows? ;(

---

midlanders come at night to shave them off and glue them to their upper lips.

I don't get what all this complaining is about. I think it's adorable.

Lalafels shave highlander eyebrows to make their glue-on facial hair. The looking fierce excuse is just what you tell yourselves, it is known.

I like em just fine. I have two. However, they are the humans of this game; the "normies". The "differentness" of other races will always be relative to them. So far looks like Viera are the closest to Hyur.
