The end of cats

[Shougun]

A little tempted to go and try Hrothgar, but I also do like my Catboy here. If the Hrothgar standard pose is shifted to a straight-backed, upright stance, and their bodies are either entirely covered in fur or furless/hairless from the neck down, that'd also help make them a lot more palatable of an option. Part of me likes to think of a Hrothgar Warrior, Paladin, or Dark Knight, though I do have a pretty hard time picturing them as my favorite jobs (Samurai, Healers, Caster DPS).

I bet a Lion based Samurai could look epic - confusingly it might make them look so big and strong that you might want to tank as your Samurai lol.

I can also imagine the sad cat in a tent look of a caster/healer... So.... You might win some and lose some there haha.

Very true, though to be fair I've spent most of this expansion as a Samurai. Usually I can't stand doing Melee combat, but Samurai just works for me in that way.

I think one of the big allures of Hrothgar, from a bit of an OOC point of view, is that I think there would be an intangible feeling of community and brotherhood with them. It feels like they'll appeal to a fairly niche segment of the playerbase, and races like that tend to have micro-communities where people know one another and such. In a game like FFXIV where the community is very positive, a tight-knit community like that would be a nice experience. As a Miqo'te I do not find that feeling at all. There's just so many it's impossible to develop that kind of brotherhood.
