What matters is the approved final art for the race itself.

So: this is an idea of them, but it's just an idea.


Also I've been seeing the notion around... and I get it! But at least in this case, I'd be surprised if the women didn't end up all furry? The notable character creation features of the hrothgar are their unique faces, and their coat patterns. It'd be breaking precedent to have one half of a race not share the same distinct aspects as the other half.
very true
viera went through a lot of changes in concept even with FF12 as a reference

also said they looked at fan art to get inspiration for male viera and if they did the same for Hrothgals since 95% of the fan art is pretty beastly like males i dont see why they would be miqotes with the fur texture.
