Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

I just hope they don't look like the ronso females from FFX. Concept art was nice but the models were horrendous.

nope, they're just gonna port the ps2 models over wholesale, give them a gross looking "fur" texture, and then give them a hunchback like the males for some reason (seriously the ronso were tall and stood straight cmon devs you had one single job and ya blew it)

i should clarify that this is sarcasm, i'm sure it'll be fine.

Hopefully they aren't fetish bait like male Viera are.

Ahh yes, because slim body types are fetish bait.

You've pretty much nailed it! Fingers crossed that's how they'll proceed.

I do hope the devs will have fun with the designs. The current hrothgar aren't just lions, and that's great. There's so many types of wild cat both big and small they could take inspiration from. I've even seen some speculative fanart previously that used Moomba (FF8) as a kind of base, which was a very cute idea.

Having moomba hair would be amazing lmao
Would also love to see a coeurl face complete with mustache like the dudes have lol

I'm super hyped for female hrothgar! I don't think I could fantasia my femroe main into one (she's been with me for over 5 years), but I will definitely ceate an lionmommy alt! My personal dream would be for them to look similar to the pantera/Lupus races from Bless Online (plus a tail) since they in my opinion are a very good balance between beast/furry and... well... animu waifu. They have the ruggedness of the female roegadyn yet the grace of the female elezen and very big snu sn energy. I suspect they have been posted in this thread before but a refresher won't hurt:



That being said, I could see how they are a bit too pretty/humanoid face-wise in comparison to their male counterpart, but nonetheless I am very VERY intrigued by what they end up looking like, I hope SE can at least tease us with some concept art in the near future. ^^

Personally I'd play something like this. I don't see the point of making something few people would actually play but I trust the development team will come up with something more universal in appeal. I like the feet too but dunno I can see people complaining they won't be able to wear current armor because of it (aka hats atm).

I'm sure the models are already decided and had hoped they'd at least share some art for them. One can hope we might actually see some npc's in game but I suspect that isn't going to happen until they're ready to reveal the race. I hope its sooner and not a 7.0 timeline.

TBH I don't think most people who post or signal boost that stuff would personally play it, we're just in an internet cultural wave of "inclusion" where people want all types to be represented + it's backlash to the ideal of sexual dimorphism. So ultimately it just smells of people wanting inclusion for "others" who might want that shape because they personally have no interest in playing that race regardless of how they look. (...)

... what? You could just as easily say that the people who want them to be slender babes have no interest in playing them themselves, because they just want some eye-candy while idling in town. There's no easy way to gauge this.

It's not unreasonable that some folks might just want a cool option without any connection to what they personally find attractive, or maybe they think a burly lion man kissing a smaller humanoid lion woman of the same supposedly intimidating species is weird, or maybe they see the shapes of the women available in-game and think it's a bit lacking.

Anyway, I think it would be cool if female hrothgar were huge and could take out a moose with just their bare hands. If I could put the gender-locked garo butterfly ribbon and similar in my character's hair and have her look like she could tear out a dude's throat with her teeth, I think that would be swell.

Nah

Looking at the demographics of this game, Femroe are so few in numbers that you could increase their numbers by 100% ... and they would still be the least played thing in this game. Why is this? They have proper animations and proportions unlike Elezen (because they came later when the team figured out how to scale the middie rig/ model), most things fit them properly, and they have a solid set of emotes. The reason they're so rarely played is that they look like men. They're the most masculine shaped female option by a mile and the least played thing by miles.

Logic would dictate that there's not a lot of people going "Ya know what? I WOULD play Femroe, but the thing that's stopping me is that they don't look manly enough. Until they release something that's Chris Evens with tits I'mma keep playing a non-Roe female".

On the flip side, logic would say that more conventionally attractive and cute female races get played more in this game. Like, I don't think you can in good faith speak against that.

It's cool for people to want what they want, but races should be made for people who play them. I recognize that my opinions about what Male Viera should look like amounts to nothing as I will never play one and looking at people who like the idea of seeing jacked out men looking women shouldn't trump servicing the people who would actually enjoy playing a furry female.

Has anyone posted this fanart by Sei/@banana_qote yet?

I've always liked the way they draw hrothgars

Hell, the most common fan art used for Female Hrothgar is that "kimahri ronso gender swap" and the next most common people just pointing at the Bless Panther females and saying "That". Like, that's legit what you get when you search "Female Hrothgar" and for the past several months it's been, by a mile, the most up voted Female Hrothgar thread on reddit which I find funny because it's not even a "Hrothgar", it's years old fan-art of Kimahri as a woman.

I feel the gender swapped Kimahri fanart would look better if the face was just... less human (why is face human and completely different from male Kimahri and the females themselves in X?). Make it more feline (like the males) and we golden. I won't personally play them (maybe. I do swap to female Roegadyn from time to time so who knows), but I am sick of games with playable beasts letting males be bestial in appearance and females mostly being humans with maybe beast ears and tail. I want to see more games do what GW2 does with the Charr and less what games like Tera (looking at you, Aman) and Bless do.
