Well those figures are not perfect as they exclude sub level 36 characters by design. It’s also a smaller time frame. Given that a lot of people take their time to get past 36, we’ll have to wait until 5.1 or so to discern a more accurate data set but I think we can already extrapolate trends from what new players are playing within the existing data set. These fit more or less in line with how I expected the races to perform.

I’m hoping it’s a good enough performance in SE’s eyes to invest more in them, but like I said, if they’re planning to perform wider updates to the graphics system, which would mitigate the costs for such an addition anyway, that may be what either brings to life or ends the dream of the missing genders being added.

I think if theyre going to make the missing genders due to the performance fo the new expac + new races, in the hypothetical case that they were considered 2 different entites (viera race and hrotgar race as 2 different things) then I'm almost 100% sure male viera are coming, considering the popularity of the females, and that theyll do a good job at it to bring them in as soon as posible, but I worry about how polished would female hrotgar be, and if they would be willing to spend as many resources on her considering its a given sthat they wouldnt sell nearly as much as male viera going by what weve seen from this races (theres, I believe 5 times or so more fem vieras than male hrotgars), I just hope SE considers both of them as a pack, like, since the new races (mostly due to female viera) sold well, we are going to do a very good job on both, not just the money cow. I personally think fem hrotgar should have more resources so they can be finalized better, considering its much, much more complex to make a beast race than a male miqote with taller height and different heads, for whom theyll almost 100% not make a even slightly different body type so they dont have to refit any gear. I hope (or wish, more so) that fem hrotgar have a unique body, like an edited male roe to look like fem ronso, but honestly, the odds are that its a practically impossibility and theyll most likely slap male hrotgar heads with eyelashes and modified hairstyles and shapes to a fem roe body of which they have to modify 0 hear other than headgear

Man, I wish I had as much faith as you Zeylos, I really do. I'm still just 'ehhh'. My expectations are low in regards to this, which is sad because they shouldn't be. But meh, not like square owes us something. I'll be hyped as all heck if we hear something regarding their inclusion, but if it's a straight-up denial then at least it's not going to hit so hard.

I dont have faith on SE. I simply have high hopes on anything. Whenever Iw ant something, I typically like to expect it, even if its just not gonna happen, and id rather be extremely excited then dissapointed than sad all along, personally. In this case though, I think its also very likely well get them considering what weve been seeing both now and from the past, so Ill just be excited for it, even if in worst case scenario they arent here 6.0, I would have been exicted for 2 years, which, imo, is worth it

Balmung has a lot of Hrothgar as well!

i see plenty of hroths
basically killed the Roe population on moogle

[Gwenorai]

Aye, on Odin the M/F Roe population has since died out, leaving nothing but big cute floofy fur bois or in the latter, toll bunny toned girls. In regards to the Hrothgar, they're still rare compared to the amount of Viera I see - but that's a given.

I mean, Balmung is the ERP capital so Im not that surprised by the fact that most o em are probs there

In zodiark, theres a decent amount of female vieras, but little to no male hrotgars anywhere unlessu go to a specific server, might just be myserver then?
