Even if they probably won’t be as popular as kemonomimi races (beast races are never the most popular), they are still a worthy use of dev resources.

They used fan art as a jumping off point for male viera, so we can assume they did the same with female hrothgar. Most of the art I’ve seen of female hrothgar looks amazing and strikes a great balance between beefy and feminine. I’m really looking forward to seeing them, even if the most I’ll play one is making an alt.

Once the races are truly complete, I think they can really dig into expanding character creator. Especially with system revamps that are supposedly incoming. They said these will be the last races and I believe them. So the only thing to do after that is make them better.
A lot of the fan art I've seen shared around has them looking like brutes. I get that a couple people like that, but I don't think it's worth potentially pushing back things more of the playerbase want, were promised, and will actually enjoy. Male viera was the race that was actually heavily requested, female hrothgar is just a hanger-on. Male hrothgar already have enough trouble as is, with two hairstyles per face, no hats, and having to fantasia to even change to that second hairstyle.

I still also think male viera was released too early, they are inevitably just going to be as limited as female viera. What a waste. Even if female hrothgar look semi-okay as a beast race, if they are just as limited due to "unique heads" as male hrothgar, that's double the problems to not 'fix' later, as apparently male hrothgar unique heads was a design choice. We should have first got our female viera hairs, and male hrothgar updates, before these genders, in my opinion. Now everything is pushed back..
