Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[SturmChurro]

It's both funny and annoying how fem Hrothgar get treated. "Yes, they exist, there's quite a few of them... off-screen... you can't see them, but my wife says hi." "Yeah, uh, the Horthgar queen? uhhh"

"She's a Roegadyn, you see, the title is just given TO the queen, and that particular one you see was a Roegadyn... yeah."

I thought that whole reveal was hilarious. Probably confirmed that female hrothgar would look like a Roe though, as opposed to highlander which some wanted.

Though, I will say, her body did resemble more of a highlander's if I remember right. Less like cardboard shape of roe. So. they'd probably be a bit thinner in the midsection like male hrothgar are to roe?

The best part about Hrothgar is that every third hroth you meet has a dead wife

This is the true reason you can't play a femhroth

It's all the more concerning that if we were in an alternate timeline where SE decided to not make a Lupine race in Stormblood. We might have never got to see Hrothgar or any Ronso related race in game. Heck, maybe no Viera since the devs considered putting them in AFTER doing concepts for Hrothgar. Lupine was such a random drop that the audience that wanted a beastly race was louder than even the Japanese playerbase. And while a wolf race would be interesting I don't think it would be just as good or better than Hrothgar. A race with a longer snout and narrow forhead would be even harder to map assets on or make it look good without extra fur textures that the devs said was "too much" for the engine when mapping them on Hrothgar.

Makes me wish that FFXVI would be a chance for varied XIV races and beast tribes to be reimangined/improved in that game without spaghetti code/mmo budget limitations.

The Bozja mural of the possibile fem Hrothgar design is still a "nyan blue catgirl" eyesore to me. Even if it looks a bit like Bagi (Tezuka ova character).

I know that there's a possibility for mural=exaggerated representation but with eastern mmo history it leads me to being skeptical especially when The next bozja raid has a freaking panther/puma esque statue that conflicts with the female mural. That is clearly a icon for diety, science or history.

What anthro cat race would not want to attach their identity to a more primitive animal species to try and understand their evolved happenstance?
Why would females look wildly different from that while males look related to it?
Wouldn't there be extreme sexist interpretations regarding that?
Why can't females not have a more beastly face?
Did anyone not see Cats or WW1984 with how mixing anthro and human faces just looks ugly?
Do you want that rendered in this engine? I'm never going to drop this ^^;

Maybe this is why I'm starting to draw more anthro characters this year other than because quarantine hehe

I'm still hoping FF17 (whenever it comes out) is an MMO in Ivalice, since they'd have to use a lot of the non-human races considering how outnumbered Humes are in that world.

I'm hoping that the differences between male and female Hrothgar is similar to that between male and female lions. Where you can tell at a glance easily which gender they are while still keeping their bestial feel. Using another game as an example, look at the difference in male and female faces of Charr from GW2. Both look bestial and you can instantly tell which gender they are.

Let's face it. No one saw Cats. lol

They actually give us a picture for comparison.
Take from it what you will, personally it looks to me much more inline with Highlander or Viera side of tall gals given the focus on slimmer waist and shoulders and feminine silhouette.

In any case please make female Hrothgar pretty as in not like Elezen/Roegadyn.

IDK about you but femroes are beautiful-

True, maybe the roe representation was just like a red herring.

Elezen are pretty! You just have to find the right glam. Something that compliments their proportions.

felezen are very pretty! Though I dont very much like how small their heads are. Definitely need glams that give the illusion of either a bigger head or a smaller set of shoulders. Otherwise they're very elegant.
