Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

Indeed, if the end goal is to get all of 5 people to be female hrothgar then they will rule 63 the males

imo the only thing thats notably masculine about female ronso is their shorter hair. slap some anime hair on them and I think they'd be super cute

They will pull almost entirely from female roegadyn players whom already are the lowest played race/gender combination by a good margin.

I just think they should go more of a middle ground as slapping a literal lions head on a female roes body would look very off putting. Honestly i don't think it really works for males and more often than not they look out of place depending on the facial features.

I actually agree i like that art but to me that's a better blend of beast and human features (ronso in general seem to have shorter snouts?) Than what hrothgar have shown. This could be remedied by a good variety of face options but im not optimistic on that front. Hair def plays a big part too

I think its nice when the game has popular races, medium popular races, and lower played races. It adds variety. I would love another lower played addition to the game.

Yep. Until we start losing out on customization options for everyone due to the resources being spent maintaining a race a fraction of a % of players would actually play.

Yeah, in general ronso are more beast-y people vs beast heads on people. Its most noticeable when you compare the hrothgar's ronso inspired head option to the other 3 heads. They're my hope for the middle ground- beastly enough to look like the female counterpart to the guys still pretty ladies c:

You mean like how resources are wasted on Elezen? I'm saying that while rolling my eyes btw, because they're one of the lesser played races.

Nothing is a waste of resources when it comes to races. Male Viera, Female Hrothgar, hair fixes for both of the new races, and even suggestions like Ivalice Moogle, and Burmecians are not a waste. Even if you happen to think so, or if the devs say another thing. Sometimes things takes years to convince them to do, but they still get done.

Things can be a relative waste, if their working on stuff for female hrothgar who are likely to be the least played gender/race combination my a big margin in some say takes away from time that could be used on the broadly appealing races. Its a relative waste also big difference is elezen are a base race and porting gear and hair over to them is "easy". Female hrothgar at the very least will not get access to the hairs/headgear cause ports are not simple so any time they spend personally designing stuff for them takes away from all other races so essentially something like 2% of the active playerbase is eating into the Graphics teams time when that time could be spent on the other 98%. This however does assume they dont find a fix for the hair/headgear issues

I'm still holding out hope that the female Hrothgar are fox/kitsune like and can have multiple tails.
