MrHappy interview with yoshida from tokyo

I'm going to be careful with my words, but lets say I know from experience that Elezen shares with Midlander and that Roe has its own category. I have looked into it and it seems to be the case that Elezen is a Midlander based race and Roe is all by itself, though I wonder if male Hrothgar will share with it since they are very similar.

I really don't want Hrothgar to share Roe's model even if it's easier to just retexture and rig it so it hunches over like it appears to be in the video... I don't want Hrothgar to have orangutan syndrome. Roe's legs look shorter than they should for their body. I want Hrothgar to be proportioned right. However in the reveal video they appear to have the same problem so perhaps I shouldn't hope.

They wouldn't share a body model, each would have their own body 'morph' as it were, this morph tells the gear mesh how to shape itself to appear as if your Avatar is wearing it, how to conform to the shape of their body as clothes and the like would naturally do! And so they could share gear models instead!

If they were to try to use a less thicc race as the base the gear would looked stretched out and weird and so they could use the gear made for roes as their body types would be much more compatible!

LOL. I'm not going to pretend I know what you are saying lol. I just hope they make their legs a tad bit longer ><

Basically theirs no worry of them sharing an actual model just that they would share gear models for time saving reasons. Wearing the shared gear wont make them look like Roes because the gear will conform to the Hrothgar body shape.

If I can find the render comparison again, I think you'll be pleasantly pleased. The Hroth seem to actually have their own form - smaller arms, longer legs, and their chest/hip is more of an inverted triangle as opposed to a bulky rectangle. The Hroth are very much well proportioned for their body this time around.
