Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[HollowedDoll]

They do – you can see they have the same hempen set and share a lot of their emotes.




That's true to an extent, but Viera are specifically derived from Midlander – again sharing that model's hempen set and emotes where the other races each have something unique.

Hempen camise yes (which is more so laziness than anything else ), but what emotes are shared?

[Allegor]

Mostly the 'universal' ones like /grovel, /pray, /handover, etc. I assume, I don't recall them having similar emotes outside those, if anything, Roes have a few emotes that'd look better on a Hroth lol (I'm looking at you, /furious)

Generally a lot of the less important ones, though the really distinct one I can think of right now is one that I'm not sure is available to players – the sort of lecturing finger-waggle emote. But I don't have a Viera myself so I can't make a list of which ones are the same; I just know I recognise a fair few of them in cutscenes as being Midlander-specific.

Likewise I don't have a male Roegadyn or Hrothgar but I think they have some distinct shared motions that the other races don't have.

Yeah like some of them look similar but they're clearly not the same, like /sulk, /bow etc.

I'm greatly biased, so it's hard for me to compare as I'm naturally inclined towards male characters, but as I said when female viera first came out is that they are too supermodely and strayed a bit from the aethestic of FFXII viera.
Perhaps because SE were allowed to interpret male viera as they see fit that it seems more complete rather than working from a template ? The feeling they give off is far different than the feeling male viera give off.
I personally don't think male viera are upstaging. I think they are equals in terms of gorgeousness at the end of the day.

It also helps that they were working one one character model instead of two completely different ones at the same time.

Also holy crap, just from the ones shown, their emotes are gorgeous! The female viera are far FAR too reserved for me. There's subtle, and then there's bland. :T
(I'm going to count their /dance as a binky and no one can stop me)

I'm pretty sure most races use midlander animations in cutscenes. From what I can tell emote wise, aside from the ones shared by everyone else all of them are unique to fem viera

I don't like how gear displays between their torso and hips.

You really shouldn't shame pregnant people.

Having bad posture is one thing, but did they not test gear on this, like it stretches so badly.

I've never seen any other race use the emote I'm talking about, including my female Roegadyn alt character. I'm quite sure it's Midlander-and-Viera specific.
