Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

They look like THAT on femroe???".
If you're talking full armor ish then that's a non-starter, you can mistake a femroe for a male highlander or Draggo when everything is covered up. (I've played Femroe for years and even I sometimes had a hard time telling Draggo bois apart from fellow femroe from a glance)
That's kinda the whole point to armor, it's not exactly easy to tell the details of the body. My Femroe had max slider boobs and still looked like the best example of a male action figure in one of my fav armors last year.
Wanna show off your character's body you have to take that into consideration when you glam, nothing new. At a glance I can't tell a viera from a Elezen if they wear the mascot heads unless I see a idle or pose unique to them and I'll be the first to say they have much better proportions.



No, they didn't.

Roe males look like big meat wall gorillas like the galka before them, Femroe look masculine af. People find the Hrothgar body shape far more pleasing because it is, it's a inverted triangle to get that classic heroic shape. Roe as a race failed to appeal fully to those looking for a large race cause of their proportions much like how Elezen failed to appeal fully to people looking for tall, thin races cause of their proportions and animations ... leaving room for the Male Draggos and tall Viera to take root (I say tall cause a number try to be as short as possible cause they really just wanted Bunny nekos).

If you think this can take the place of a Beastly Race in a fantasy game then ... you do you. That's your opinion and you can have it. To ME? Draggos look far more beastly than Roes and Hrothgar clearly appeal more to the fans of furry than Roe, tis why they normally outnumber the whole of the roe race combined regardless of being just males with the most limits of any race when it comes to hair. They clearly add to the game ... can even give you the math on it.

Not sure what you're even getting at anymore, you just seem salty and looking for a debate.
Guess Imma end this here.

You do you.
To me Roegadyn are super beastly and a lot more heroic than Hrothgar. Hrothgar look silly, like a Roegadyn with a cat mask on who forgot to do legs day at the gym.


As for the females, we have no clue what female Hrothgar would look like.
Furthermore, stop projecting your own actions onto me.

I mean, if we go with how they handled the hrothgar males..

Probably like this, but a little thicc'er, with a slouchy posture, a shorter tail, a slightly longer snoot, and plantigrade feet.

I'm honestly kind of bummed with the Hrothgar. If anything, I feel like maybe they should have based them more on the FEMALE Roegadyn's body type (minus the lady-parts), or even a larger, modified version of the Highlander. Roegadyn are just SO top-heavy; they're a cool enough race, but they come across more as big teddy-bears than dangerous athletes. The Hrothgar feel even closer to the "cutesy, cuddly stuffed-animal" vibe, and their proportions just feel WAY off.

Like... their torso and arms are just way too large. If they could've slimmed them up, keeping proportions more in line with their legs, I think it could've worked. Although I also feel like their feet are unusually small?

What the flying hell are you talking about? What am I projecting on you?

And yeah, we don't know what Female Hrothgar would look like. We know what RONSO females look like, shorter than the males and every bit as animal, but who is to say that's what they do with Hrothgar females in this game. For all we know the devs will say "we HEARD you, you don't like limited head options and you want the genders ... so we're making Viera Males have smaller ears and put them in the cat people ear position and the Hrothgar females basically look like Mithra. Boom, both can have all the same hat and hair stuff as cat bois and girls". They can do w/e they want ... but even if they do that I'm 100% sure a Female hrothgar would look more beastly than a Femroe ever could by the nature of having actual beast features. Roe aint a beast race.

You don't like Hrothgar for w/e reason, ok ... that's you. You don't have to like something to see that it adds something to the game and appeals to people.

It's silly to think Roe were ever a decent stand in for "beast race" when they're the "giant race"
