what excuse will they use for there being no female hrothgar in the bozja citadel?

[Mercsteff]

They are at home. Cooking, cleaning, raising babies...

Yeah, there's a huge amount of ugly glamour options available, emotes they just sell on the mogstation (different team), and we barely EVER get new mounts unless they are added to the mogstation.

I'd rather have more cosmetic rewards than more limited trash viera/hrothgar personally. That or add me a lot of hair to my viera. Either way, more important than male viera/fem hrothgar.

ofc because what u want is superior to what everybody else wants???

Don't be silly, why should royalty do those things when they can get their loyal men to do them to win her favor? After all, females are treated like royalty and clan leaders, the men do everything in service of their queen.

This is why n ofemale hrotgar makes literally no sense lore-wise. So, for the viera race, viera in general make no sense specially the amount that there is, and there is literally no reason as to why the males arent playable. For hrotgar, if anything, lore-wise they'd be female only. Females do whatever they want and the majority fo the men (helions) follow their orders and only live to serve their queens

Lore is whatever suits the developers at that moment, so I'm sure they'll make something up.

I think if they were to show them it is likely to be towards the end of the content, kinda like how they handled Yugiri for the Au Ra and Fran for the female Viera. I also think its likely they will be added in 6.0 but given expansion cycles 6.0 should be a system heavy expansion over a feature heavy. So we might not get them at all - I do think the devs are aware of the desire for them and given they were shocked over the controversy I wouldnt be surprised if they didnt factor that into the runway for 6.0. For now im hopeful for both Male Viera and Female Hrothgar would be added in the future. I am also of the mind that I don't need them to be playable, I just want to see them in the game in some format. For me its more about having a plausible world - and the bottom line is creating a handful of NPC's is a lot easier than creating 2 genders for the race. If that is the compromise I have to accept then so be it.

At least this necro is somewhat relevant but no they are not all dead if that was the case they probably would have written hrothgar to be more like Galka

The day we see female Hroth and Male Viera is the day they might become playable (Squeenix only said “no new races” after all, and they’re not new races :V).

I still wouldnt get my hopes up. Its much easier to make a handful of one off NPCs then to do all the work to make an extra race playable. The NPC will only ever wear one outfit(so you dont need to model everything in the game), it might not ever move(doesnt need a full set of animations), and it will likely only ever do any emotes in a cutscene. It really just needs an idle pose, and an active one. They could mock up a female hroth as simply as putting a hroth head on a female roe body. Put it in an outfit that obscures that. Then pick a set of animations(say... male hroth for movement, female midlander for arm motions and idle). Boom. Done. Quick and dirty. And not at all playable.
