which is a start...

That looks more reminiscent of Ultima from FFXII than a female hrothgar.

If thats a female Hrothgar, then my Disappointment Anxiety is spiking. That makes it look like they will have pretty Human Faces.

its probs the hrotgar queen so she probs looks more fancy than most

I can see why, but I dont think that theres that much need for discussion. I think people are active to show the devs we very much still want male viera, but the feedback has been consistent and clear, people want the missing genders if possible

This post might age like a banana but I feel like this is another classic case of people in this thread setting themselves up for disappointment. There is nothing to suggest that this is a hrothgar. I believe there's more to suggest that she isn't.

She looks way too close to FFXII Ultima to be a coincidence: blue skin, horned helmet, six things coming out her back, white dress with gold trimmings. Additionally, the scenario writer is the writer of FFXII and that screencap is right after

Noah says he's going to carve out a new country using the power that Garleans hate (eikons).

She has no nose and a human mouth. The only thing that seems to suggest that it's a hrothgar at all is that she's blue. I would like to be proven wrong, but without any evidence to say otherwise, to say that it's a female hrothgar tease is a bit of a reach.

I thought it was some goddess they used to worship. Maybe their interpretation of Hydaelyn.

[WhiteArchmage]

There's no reason BOTH interpretations can't be correct (Ok, I know how this sounds, bear with me a little). Spoilers for FFIV, and the Resistance Weapons Storyline.

I think that image may actually be ASURA, the Summon known as a multi-armed woman holding a bunch of swords, in FFIV she was the Queen of the Eidolons. In fact, I think the "things" coming out of her back are actually her ARMS.

It would hold up to Gabranth's "Lady of Blades" comment and, if we assume that she was a Primal/Goddess worshipped by the Hrothgar, they may have ORIGINALLY envisioned her as a Hroth, but if Gabranth is planning on using her against us, she may have more humanoid features, as we know that the appearance and personality of a Primal changes depending on the view and intentions of the Summoner.

Of course, this is all conjecture along with a fair amount of wishful thinking, so grain of salt and all.

Hmm didnt realize this was a female hrothgar.

This bodes well IMO.

It was strange that wed go through the bozja incident in cids memory and not see a single female hrothgar in the capital city. And if were gonna be doing more memory strolls, the fact we wouldnt encounter one (let alone their queen or leader) seems strange, but I wrote that off as "Well they dont have the models so theyll just have some weird lore reason and never mention it again". But decent game devs dont waste a whole lot of time with details like the image provided unless they have purpose. Could be a giant red herring, buuuuut this leaves me a bit more optimistic that they do have plans.

Gonna be straight with ya, I am skeptical that youre gonna get "charr" like hrothgars, and yeah it's gonna probably be a lot more like that one oglaf comic that pokes fun at that fantasy men vs fantasy women trope. (dont google the comic, its nsfw)
