Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Senn]

But no, the reason the other thread is so big is because a hand full of obsessed fans had been repeatedly bumping it and double-triple+ posting in it and hitting post limits just saying nothing post in it since it started as a means to keeping it "alive".

Well, since you are the ones bringing up my thread, I'll make a comment on this.

No one really knows what male viera looks like, so people are speculating what they will look like, or are expressing what they'd like to see. Nothing wrong with that.
Since we already know what female hrothgar will look like based off previous games, there's not really a lot of conversation to be had, other than whether people would like to see their inclusion in ffxiv or not. I suppose there is a question of what kind of base female hrothgar would use if they were implemented into the game. My bet would be an adjusted female roegadyn base.

I use to watch that thread for fun... Be it gross non-stop infighting...

This condescension is more gross than anything.

...fights with people who don't care for the idea.

What you call fighting seems more like disagreements, but ok.

edit:
Found this cool art of female hrothgar, but I can't seem to find the artist who drew this. Anyone know?

Hello! I am actually the artist of that female hrothgar picture! I originally posted her on my tumblr (sammi-doodles) and my twitter (@sammi_doodles)
Thank you for thinking my Alashar's design is cool ;v;

I just found these female hrothgar and male viera support threads today and wanted to add my Likes to support both! I guess it's still just a foggy future so far...but I hope the community can keep the fiery support alive so it could still be a possibility in the future to play the characters we want!

I so long to bring my Alashar into the game in all her glory and see all the glorious hrothgals and boy buns join all the other characters in the world!

I like that art. It is probably the most realistic depiction of what they might look like in this game. Albeit, SE would probably somehow make them look much uglier.

I higly doubt SE would make a female character ugly. If anything, I feel like the worry should be on them being too pretty and too little bestial imo

Have you seen roes? They are hideous! And don't get me started on lalafell!







Sigh... I had better add a disclaimer that this is a joke. (or is it?)

I dont think female roes are ugly at all, they qwere kinda designed to appeal to a certain demographic which does find them quite beautifull I guess. Lalafells are quite disturbing, not because all players use them for that, but I mean, I had to go to limsa last night and I cant look at lalafells the same :/

I appreciate that you like my art but...I dunno that it's fair to call other races in game ugly - even as a joke? Putting down other race designs in a support thread asking for more character creation just feels a little tasteless and bound to spark ire ^^;;

Why not? They are characters not people. Fictional races. I don't see what matters, I will say without joking males have some objectively hideous looking faces, like the various old man faces. Females have some ugly options (feature combinations, eye shape, nose, etc.) for faces, in my opinion. If someone gets offended over that, then that is a them problem, not a me problem.

I do like your art. It has a realistic body type for FFXIV, how I would picture them in FFXIV, and the face is attractive, matches the body, and has a good hairstyle.

After all, there just isnt such a thing as objectively ugly pretty or beatuifull, and sayign that will just end up in a completely uncesseary fight. I think thatb y instead of saying 'this is so ugly' you said: 'I just find this so ugly' then nobody could complain. Its the small changes that can make the big differences

No. These are video game characters. I will not tailor my speech because somebody cannot separate themselves from their character and reality. Then again this is FFXIV and 2019, should literally not expect any less. On top of that I am not even calling anyone's specific character "ugly" I am calling some of the options that SE has given us ugly, that I suspect they would make hrothgar females ugly as well. Not only that they would probably have the exact same problems male hrothgar have, making your initial choice require a fantasia to alter.
