You too. Let's make sweet love then.

Gonna agree to disagree about the gaslighting crap and move on.

We may very well want the same thing - personally I couldn't care less about how popular well done beastial femhroths are, I just think it's a niche that should be filled for the people that actually want it. More options and all that jazz.

"Let's make sweet love then."

Actually made me giggle.

Still holding onto hope Well get to make badass and Sexy Lioness Queen Mommas like that soon.

I'd settle for just that much hair. Give us some super-long hair already!

This right here is what I think they should go for. Just beastial enough to satisfy those who want that, but not so beastial that it makes fitting gear difficult.

FemHrothgar leaked

Both of you are in timeout now

So long as they have 8 nipples...

Considering none of us have nipples, don't hold your breath.

To me, the issue is not the amount of feline features - which will probably be like the male Hrothgar.

Ideally, we should have different builds for any race, but since we don't get that kind of luxury, I'd love female Hroth to be more approximated to the males (kind of how fem Roe is to males), instead of being an Au Ra situation where both m and f have that drastic difference.

Raikai, this is a statement so offensive that it's almost cute!

You are being gaslit by the game, here let me prove it:

Au Ra:

https://i.imgur.com/asvtCn4.png

The game states that these are super mega ultra differences between the sexes! So dimorphic. And yes, they clearly are.

Now let's take ROEGADYN:

https://i.imgur.com/3oKedhX.png

These are ENOURMOUSLY different from one another, even more so than male and female Au Ra, who at least have similarly proportioned limbs, male Au Ra are just taller and a reasonable amount bulkier, unlike male Roes versus Femroes who look like two different species. Does the game explicitly state it though? No, so players actually believe Femroes and Roebroes are less sexually dimorphic, even tho they clearly aren't!

If this is the difference we will have between Hrothguys and Hrothgals, may god have mercy on our souls.

We all wish femhroths would be like femras, but we all know they are going to pander to the 1% of the femroe playerbase and make them as hideous.

No matter what it looks like this community will make it degenerate.

Femroe playerbase = Femra playerbase. Femroe design already caters to catgirl fans, else they would be much bigger and bulkier like male Roes.

I just want this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3QlrvuU...jpg&name=large

This is good, I like this. No more Miquo'te 3.0, we have enough of that bull.

People who want Miquo'te-ish have 4 options: Miquo'te (vanilla), Au'Ra (adding to it spices like flour), hyur midlander (for the most blank slate ever) and Viera (who is Miquo'te but tall and no tail).
If you want something more fierce you have: Hyur Highlander (the decent option), Elezen (giraffe cosplay) or Roegadin (vanilla fierce).

I want female Hrothgar for 3 reasons:
1. We have no option in-game for a tall female character with a tail. Miquo'te and Au'ra are short and Viera have no tail
2. I love FFX and Ronso especially since I was little, Kimahri best boy!
3. Ever since I started playing MMOs I always picked beast races, and when I couldn't I wished they would add one.

I hate that every time the discussion is brought up the only demographic people look at are the 30-something-year-old men who play female characters and what they like. Instead of looking at what women like to play, it was mentioned before, but when you see a female Au'Ra in game you can safely assume they are a dude IRL, but when you see a Viera you can safely assume they are a female IRL. I myself have experienced this a lot, with almost all female Au'Ra I know are played by men and almost all female Viera I know are played by women. I as a woman, want to play as something cool. Beast races, and, female beasts especially are exceptionally cool. Cause they not only break the stereotype of "small gurl cute only" and actually add some nice variety.
I swear some people here could have a table with different flavours of cake, but they choose to only have stale bread.

Femroes can be just as Beautiful, and Cute as the standard Human...or Catgirl and Elf.
"Some" People are just limited in the imagination...or of course just prefer their women on the smaller side. In height and Mass.

That art, is PURE Excellence <3

Wait... so looking at the images in the OP... we could get Ahnka? Does it come with the Dance? >.>

Part of me still thinks what we'll get will amount to Clawroline from Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

That might of been a possibility if they weren't concerned about certain people or regions. Blame social media... >.>

Regions like Japan for example.

Please stop referring to female races as "fem____s" when equally identifiable and clearly superior puns exist.

For example:

femhroths Hrothgals
femroes Roegadames
male catgirls Man'qotes

Pretty sure Japan weren't the ones trying to destroy entertainment franchises just because an author or actor had an opinion they didn't like. Or do massive edits to entire lines of books that have been in publication for decades just because they think little Timmy would read the word "fat" and get his feelings hurt...

Or butchering people's artwork with poor edits then claiming they "fixed" it.

I have a furry friend who won't play FFXIV unless Hrothgals meet his lofty expectations. (Them being more bestial than human, like their male counterparts.) So he's sitting here waiting for fanfest like "They better tell me if I'm gonna play or not." I have a strong suspicion we're going to be waiting a lot longer though. hahaha

if they are mix of highlanders and catgirls. Sign me in

Im not a fortune-teller, and I dont work with the Devs or the Company....but I like to think that Showcasing and Announcing Female Hrothgar this upcoming Fanfest would be a Good move, since there has been so much discussion around it.
And I think it would create alot of good Press and Buzz IF we are surprised with Hrothgar Headgear. Probably not ALL headgear, but alot of headgear: especially some that have no business not being wearable. But, Im getting ahead of myself. There is a good chance we will hit the same issues...but at least Finally getting a reveal would stir some good hype, and perhaps like your Friend, sell some more units...or...codes.

Announce them at the location that has the highest concentration of furries, really secure that clout.

...so Las Vegas, yeah.

I think announcing them at the first fanfest is probably the best idea, just because they would want to have something big for each location. Usually the NA one is very sparse on details for things (because it's first up) so it's the least interesting of the three, no new job details (just a shirt hint), maybe a couple of zone names, and the title for the expansion. But if we then add 'also here's the new race', or at least, the concept art, that is a big thing to add to the end. There's a perception of sorts that 'the big info will be at the 2nd/3rd Fanfests', and announcement of the race at the first would buck that expectation somewhat. Then they can have the ingame models/trailer at a later fanfest like the final one in Tokyo.

Just showing the design they've settled on would be big info

When male Hroths were revealed, they weren't left for last necessarily because they'd be less popular than Viera, it'd also be because they'd be controversial for having replaced male Viera (and also physically not ready to be presented until then, but that only further proves they were considered later on). Now there's no such pressure, so it'd make sense they'd announce them where the impact would be most noted, and also to 'start with a bang' as they say.

So... Femwroth will be another flavour of cat girl. I won't be surprised if turns out being like that and we haven't the strong lioness.

Cowards.

Full furry or not I just hope they stand up straight. I want to like Male Hroths but JFC they look dumb as shit.

Perhaps you could wait until you know whether to insult them for what they've actually done, rather than what you think they might do in future.

But that would defy the forum's proud doomposting traditions.

I'm not holding my breath, but I live in hope that we finally get a big female option that has the same build (or bigger) than the male version.

Unless you're making a Lala, choosing your female FFXIV character's race is just deciding what flavor of slender lady you'd like. It would be nice if female characters got the kind of body variance that comes with choosing between male Au Ra, Roe, and Miqos (and I'm not even saying that's a lot, but it's something)

Doomposting is Very Important.
We all need to know how much everything sucks, and you suck for not agreeing with it, for...any number of reasons personally or Objectively.

Furries will Whale if you throw them a Bone.
Dont sleep on Furries. They got money, and they are looking to waste it. Give them what they like, and you get paid.

probably get a Job announced next week
and they will most likely say if its only 1 new job or 2 this time,
I don't think "popularity" really matters its just giving each Fanfest an equal amount of big reveals
