Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Halivel]

According to this interview, male Viera were inspired by community's fanarts, so I would say it's pretty possible for Hrothgars, as well. If that will be the case, we a have a fairly solid chance to recieve a good result, as most female Hrothgar fanarts seem to share common spirit in it.

As for the timeframe... sadly I suppose it will be 7.0, since race is a selling point for expansion. But if it happens somewhere inbetween it would be cool. DevTeam showed many times that they can surprise us.

I think we have a general idea for what they look like, yeah. It's not a big mystery like male viera was. What do you mean by evidence, though? Do you mean that mosaic of the hrothgar queen?

Yes, I'm referring to that. I've yet to see the devs half-ass their lore, as we know it to be they have been actively working on Female Hrothgar and for some reason decided to show historical art that directly features them and even shows the difference between them and the a Femroe in the story (back when she wasn't the queen). Would be strange to go through that effort just to have them pop up looking completely different, so I don't expect them to be jacked like a male body builder as some here want and I don't expect them to be Au Ra tiny. Highlander/ Viera like seems to be the deal.

I expect them to have the body type of the Femroe Bozja Queen. I've yet to see a better explanation as to why she looks like a normal Femroe in the mosaic before taking in the Hrothgar Queen primal energy yet has a completely different body afterward (nor why she has glowing cat eyes as well ... if not for the whole Hrothgar Queen Primal energy thing). And on top of that her body matches the Hrothgar in that mosaic art and has all the difference to a Femroe body that they are shown to have. These things aren't an accident, the devs know exactly what a Femroe looks like in that type of clothing and changed her for a reason.

So to me, that's what I expect them to look like body wise. Head? That's more tricky and I'm not nearly as worried about cause I know the devs are good at that. I personally expect a much flatter face than the males, but it's anyone's guess until we see one. I'm fine regardless, if there's anything these devs have proven it's that they know how to make things pretty.

We got the male viera thread to 1400+ pages and the mad lads did it. Now it's time to get the Hrothgals up to those same levels.

I would like a stronger, chunkier, more beastly version personally. A gal that looks like she can keep up with the boys, not like they'd break her in two. A powerlifter.

"Powerlifter"? Is it really worth the resources spent if they did end up looking like this? Almost nobody would play them. Frankly, I'd rather have the team working on hairs for viera at that point. At least male viera will be popular regardless, so there is a justification there.

its not a waste of resources if someone enjoys it.

I would enjoy to have a larger selection of hairs. Them spending large amounts of resources now, and in the future to maintain a race almost nobody would want is cutting my enjoyment.

...

Ahh I get what you mean. I was expecting them to be kinda big like female roe. As for the snout thing, they might have smaller or somewhat flatter features since they're female like you said. You're right about them knowing how to make things pretty. They really did prove themselves, so I think people can be a little more optimistic about it.

well you are just gonna have to cope till they add more
female hrothgar are planned regardless now.

Same could be said about Viera taking away and wasting resources to make, when that time and effort could have been spent on things like updated character creator.
I would enjoy more customization options, Not having more options for the character models that have been around for 6 years is cutting my enjoyment.
Should Viera go away then?

Ehh, a "waste of resources" is a call for SE to make. Someone will always enjoy something. There is a such thing as a "missed opportunity" though. Taking something unique and nitch and making it so that people who WOULD like the core concept have to deal with high barriers of inter to play it very much works against the point of going through the effort to add them. Like ... yeah, I've seen Hrothgar wearing 2B outfits before, so I'm sure there's some people who would enjoy playing Females who looked like jacked dudes with boobs. But is pleasing maybe 1-2k people by making the option an aggressive "NO!" from every other person who would play a furry female worth it? Could you imagine how many fewer people would play Male Viera if they had pot-belly dad bod or what Female Viera numbers would look like if they had the fat miqo'te bod?
It's unique to the game, and I'm sure there would be some who like it ... but it would be a missed opportunity to appeal to a much larger number of players and take away the option for more things that more players would like.

Yeah, they know what they're doing. I know I'm a unique player in some respects (outside 3-4 head gears there's nothing these races can't wear that I care about ... and I can stick to a short hairstyle forever so long as it looks good, so I don't even care about the hair stuff) so seeing the body stuff put my mind at ease. They've earned my optimize, and it's clear they know why Femroe and Elezen females are so rare.

Went back and looked at the murals and the first one (with the hrothgar primal) actually shows a bulkier female but the more recent mural with the queen and her servants shows them as being being slightly shorter and slimmer than the roegadyn in the same mural curious what caused nthe change in their depiction perhaps they had begun work on the missing genders by that point and had a better idea of what they wanted to do with hrothgals or it could just be a weird coincidence
