The cat's (or femhroth in this case) outta the bag

At the end of the day The Devs will make what they make. Nobody here Im sure thinks they have the power to dictate what will happen...wishes and "what we want" are just that. Just like in the Male Viera Thread.

I just hope they make the faces for them as bestial as the males. If they can reject a male Hrothgar face for looking like a Miqo'te (somehow. It was mostly feline in appearance), then I feel they should do the same for the females. Furry beast race gotta make sense, otherwise it'll be more jarring than Au Ra o:

Im there with ya. Since its a Beast Race, it should look...like a Beast XD

Personally, I'm hoping for more like khajiit. Digitigrade legs would be bonus points but no one ever does those anymore. T.T

I don't actually know if FFXIV has feet rigged to bend at the toes (probably not?) but if it did animating "digitigrade" races to always be tiptoeing would've been a decent, if lazy, compromise. Wouldn't look very good with most footwear most likely, but it wouldn't require refitting every single one to an entirely new model

What I would like to see is shoes that gives the appearance of beasty digitigrade feet, I think that would be a good compromise.

Considering we float and wear sandals ontop of that, any kind of unique feet is out of the window.

There's at least a couple that do, for example the Werewolf and Moogle costumes come to mind. A few are armoured too but I can't remember off the top of my head, I think it was the Warg sets?

It's a moot point anyway since I don't think FFXIV has jointed feet, as far as I can tell, but my point was they wouldn't have to model unique feet that way lol, it would've all been handled by the animations

Warg and Bonewicca (at least striking and casting from what I recall). The werewolf feet are still the most natural looking of the 3 anyways, even if they have those dumb shin protectors. Kinda wish Hrothgar got digitigrade paws on their starter gear much like how Viera got their 'Viera feet' with their heels.

I don’t think the starting gear for Viera is “Viera feet”. They look like normal feet in very tall heels that have fake claws on the end.

Because if they made it any higher, their legs would end up looking disproportionately short - either way, they're the tallest heels in the game and makes their feet quite noticeable.

I agree, especially in a game already rife with the extremely cutesy-style characters anyone can already play. Variety'd be nice, and strong, scary hrothgar ladies would be dope instead of Miqo'te (Elezen Ver.)
