So what is a Hrothgar?

[Melichoir]

Two full races would be best case scenario. Ill keep my hopes up for that personally. Unfortunate that FF is like a month or more away. Christ.

People wanted little short Viera because they felt we were lacking in small cute races like lalafell. I think this would be perfect!

We still have the "young elezen" viera. And don't let anyone tell you young elezen are not short. They are 1.5 lalafells.

And then there’s the strange line the dramaturge says about male and female viera being indistinguishable until they’re around 13 and then there’s no mistaking them.

Try telling a 5 yo girl and a 5yo boy apart. You can't but once they hit puberty there is no mistaking them.Yeah it's just puberty. Just rapid onset puberty at 13 yo, exactly like the elezens in their early 20s IIRC.

Not saying it CANT be gender dimorphism, but it's probably only going to be clan dimorphism like the Hyurs.

Two full races would be best case scenario.

I'm thinking Viera will be Clan dimorphic (like Hyur) and Hrothgar will be gender dimorphic (like Au Ra). Four playable options!

We really don't. Her comment can be translated as "combination" not purely "variation." So she was likely implying there is a combination of face+hair+height that makes them look like a "young elezen". Female Viera already appear to have a pretty wide variety in heights from the video we've been shown, and already look a lot like Elezen with bunny ears. Plus we've even seen concept art of one of their hairstyles that looks a lot like Alisae's.

And if that wasn't enough, the in game lore dump spells out the 2 distinct viera clans being the Rava and Veena, the differences being between light skin and dark skin which lines up with almost every other race where the major difference between the two are skin palette variations.

Wel if I had a wishlist of things, yeah I would want Viera to be clan dimoprhic with one clan being the more amazonian ones weve seen (both male and female) while the other would a shorter more cute race (again having both male and female) and Rons-err-Hrothgar would be like Au Ra and be big hulking beast manly men and dainty beast women....Actually dainty beast women would be kind of funny to see. In any case, Im hoping for no genderlocking nonsense. More options the better for everyone.

Maybe keep the conversation on topic.

There's more than a few posts in this thread that you could transplant into the other one and it would look like they were originally posted there. In a thread meant to discuss specifically the Hrothgar, that's off-topic, and the stubbornness in not staying on topic is a problem that should be called out.

So if I understand you correctly...

In this thread:
"What if the Hrothgar are genderlocked?"
"Please don't talk about genderlocking here, this is just about Hrothgar."

In the genderlocking thread:
"What if the Hrothgar are genderlocked?"
"Please dont talk about Hrothgar here, this is just about genderlocking."

Sigh

On-Topic: Hrothgar being gender locked

Off-Topic: Viera being genderlocked.

On-Topic: Viera are hinted to being clan dimorphic, so maybe Hrothgar are dimorphic too! Au Ra also were so it's continuing a trend.

Also On-Topic: Roe's aren't played as much, so I don't see why they would add another bulk race.

Off-Topic:Trying to pretend that people weren't turning this into a thread all about Viera.

Can you please DROP THIS! so we can talk about the leaked race we have no idea about and are wildly mass guessing because it is fun? People want to talk about Hrothgar in a Hrothgar thread and you are getting upset at us for getting upset at you for interrupting our Hrothgar fun.

And please do not be disingenuous, that's mean and insulting.

[Metsonm]

Maybe we should have a thread to discuss what we can discuss in this thread.

[Ramesses]

Maybe we should have a thread to discuss what we can discuss in this thread.

Seconded.

And then perhaps we can all make that thread run into another 150 pages... I love it.

Cecil King was once a proud Hrothgar PLD and prominent "Fur Rights Activist" protecting Miqo'te, Viera, and Hrothgar everywhere, he had even started protecting Au Ra rights!



That is until he became the manager of the diverse idol group, Black Fire Innocence to help with "Fur Rights". The job left his soul pitched and turned him into a DRK.



Now, after a year of therapy, anger management classes, and yoga, he is doing much better and purchased a Lionheart Gunblade as a present for himself. He is much happier.



P.S. His mortal enemy is a bow-wielding man-hunter. (played by Jonathan Hyde)

they are related stop getting upset
mention of viera has always been mid discussion of Hrothgar or apart of it
only you saying "stop talking about viera" is interrupting your fun
