Gender locked race?

[Shougun]

not this random race that not a single soul asked for.

Today I learned.. I have no soul.. ;(

Feels bad man.

Quite a few people asked for something along the lines of Hrothgar, actually. Myself included.

In the same group eh, let's be friends! lol. Together we will find our souls .

I'm also wondering why everyone wants specifically male Viera barring "hrothgar" when we know neither what male Viera or "hrothgar" look like. It seems that some of the community want little cute male bunnies and some want strong looking males like in the concept art. If we get a strong looking race that isn't a bunny, is it the lacking of the ears that will make people angry? Because I mean, they look like elezens with ears in most of the art people are throwing out there.

Edit: and then what happens with the people who want the cute version? I mean someone's gonna lose no matter what.

Unless they heavily use the clan of Viera then I imagine someone will felt a bit lost out, which seems unlikely with the description being the very same as the one from Tactics universe and we know from that one the clan difference is skin color (basically).

Definitely whatever they do is not going to appease someone, I would suggest making both genders for both races would appease the most amount of people though :3

Sure! We're both on the same server, anyway!

Man, if you have been reading my responses you know I have absolutely nothing against beast-like races like Ronso or Bangaa (both of which would be awesome). But no, no one has been asking for Hrothgar since they were just named last week.

This is a weird statement to make, especially since people have been linking the old "new" race poll for Heavenward to show that Viera (demi-beast) races are popular. Yes, demi-beast (mammal + reptile) and new options (included mixed races) for the old races were most popular; however, there is 14% of people who voted that would play some sort of beastmen.

I never said beastman. I said Hrothgar, which is a completely random race. If it were Ronso or Bangaa that were leaked, this wouldn't even be an argument that was happening. I would assume that Hrothgar aren't going to be similar to either, because if they were just Ronso... couldn't they just name them Ronso? Hrothgar are a huge gamble considering they are a completely new race that have no build-up and no concept art to go along with. We can make estimations on what male Viera would look like since we have seen female Viera and concept art, but the only thing we know for sure about Hrothgar is that they have manes. They could just as easily be a super short pony race with poofy hair as they could tall, bara cats.

You're correct, I always assume a lion simply because Blufever's leaks have been pretty accurate. Although, we don't know the exact information he was going on.

I am on the Blufever hype train as well. I'm excited for these Hrothgar, as critical as I am about gender locks since I do love Ronso and he said they were close to Ronso. To say I wasn't would be lying. But, it still doesn't change the fact that if they are gender-locked, it's pretty damn lame for both sides.

Well I mean people, myself and Theodric the souless duo here at least, have been wanting something for a while now. I wont speak for Theodric but I personally have been asking for something else, in a literal sense, for a while and when Viera came up had asked if we could have something different first or at the same time (but that was like three expansions ago...). As to me Viera doesn't really change up the formula of options where a "beast-like" race would (Miqote is human with ears, imo, Mithra in FF/SE's defense is more beastly in concept as it has the facial fuzz and nose).

I may have not asked for something called Hrothgar, and we're not even 100% confirmed that it will be a thing (just feels like it will), but it may be literally what I've been hoping for this whole time. So while I might not have said "Hrothgar" I could have been asking for it still.

It'd be like saying "nary a soul asked for pizza!!! why add it!?" but in the background some dude Shougun has been asking for food because he's in a food drought. If Pizza comes along and you said no one asked for it I'd be like (and rightly so) EXCUSE ME IM HUNGRY GIVE ME THAT!!! lol

Of course many of us who are excited for Hrothgar are working off of assumptions, and it's important to admit that. We don't know if they're for sure real and we don't know what exactly they'll be, if the info we have is accurate sort of Ronso lion like it sounds good but it could be not .

Anyway, at this time - this soul has asked for Hrothgar . Maybe not in exact name but its possible I've been asking for it for a long time even, like actual years worth of desire XD.

(Wanted to add I'm having fun with the souless part, I've taken no real offense - I hope you don't feel me trying to pick on you lol. We're talking and I'm just saying it's very likely I've wanted this race since 1.0).
