Would you rather have had Lupin instead of Hrothgar?

[Shofie]

Yea, at least wolfmen would have been far more interesting than another cat race, imo. I don't dislike Hrothgar, but Lupin would've been more preferrable. I mean, if Lupin got a design from the ground up and weren't just wolf heads pasted on human bodies, it'd be great.

[Feronar]

I'd be fine with it, but not in the state Lupin are in now. They pretty much just look like Hyurs with wolf heads and tails. If they were to redesign them to look more like Worgen from WoW (But with tails) or werewolves from Skyrim or ESO, that would be much better.

werewolves are way cooler than lionmen

They already did that in WoW.

I hate cats. Both races kind of have Final Fantasy roots(wolf men were in at least FF5 and 6, while Ronso/Hrothgar were in 10, though they don't look anything like the Ronso from 10, so I don't really get the connection), but yeah...wolf men > cat men.

[Allegor]

Being completely honest, yes*. I love the Worgen from WoW, or werewolves in general, and as another comment said, wolf beastmen would've been more variation than more cats - I bet you can even put a Hroth and a Miqo girl next to each other and anyone who doesn't play XIV would think they're the same race.

That said, I love the Hrothgar, even with their limitations, and don't regret their inclusion one bit.

*Assuming Lupin were developed the same way Hrothgar are (or better), not the ones we currently have in game.

Wasn't impressed with Lupin at all. I rather like Hrothgar. Wouldn't mind seeing the missing gender.

Compare them to Worgen in WoW; they are very basic by comparison and are just dog faces on a hyur body.

is that supposed to be a favorable comparison for the worgen? they look terrible in anything that's not cloth or leather armor. i vastly prefer lupin since they don't suffer from being hunchbacks like worgen or at risk for developing one like hrothgar

[ItMe]

Considering the Devs said they thought about Lupin, but did Hroth instead because they couldn't come up with enough meaningful character creation options... I'm glad they went with Hroth.

[Nekaru_Infitima]

Hroth. They probably didn't do Lupin so it wouldn't just be another reason for the rabid WoW players to go "you guys copied."
Like they already love to complain about.

[MaiSuu]

Honestly, I would've preferred lupin.Not that I don't like hrothgar, but i feel the body model lupin have (although similar to middies the stance is nicer) would've been nice to have....maybe they'll give it male viera idk.
