Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[reivaxe]

We went through this song and dance in the male Viera thread for years. They "should" be X/Y, because Y/X would be a waste of resources round and round and round. And here we are, a few weeks out of their release. Perhaps its because I recently sat through Yoshi dedicating what felt like was 3 hours talking about xiv's newest attempt at making pvp engaging makes me less inclined to worry about a beastly lady being a waste or not.

Ok ...?
IDC about what happened with the Viera thread.

Oh God, now people want them to actually retain the hunchback posture? The race would literally be dead on arrival.

If there's anything I've picked up from this forum in regard to this topic, it's that ...
1- Hrothgals are far faaaaaar less wanted/ hyped than MV because everyone with no imagination assumes they would look 1:1 like the ugly Female Ronso models from FFX or just be Femroe with lion heads.
2- Most of the few people here who think that and STILL aggressively want them are either "ugly monster girl fans" (who want something super niche to snowflake on. People who like female Charr come to mind) or want them ugly only outta "fairness" to match the males because ... some crud meme on Twitter gave sexual dimorphism in games a bad name.

So this keeps going on and on ... people saying they should have 1 of the least liked features of the males is odd af but in line with the above. Like, IDK much about WoW, but I know Female orcs aren't hunched, and Orc male players were happy to get their spines realigned because even if you like the race it's just stupid looking.

I just accept what the game devs are telling us to expect personally. Makes sense to me that they look at the play rate of races and think "there's prob a lot of Miqote who would want to play something like a Mithra Viera combo female".
I can dig it, makes perfect sense why the race would have high sexual dimorphism when you look at their lore imo.
