With how little effort put into Hrothgar hair, I personally can't wait for females!

Heh, no harm done.

Admittedly, I did say I expect them to just be modded Fem Roes, but that's just out of low expectations, not what I'd actually like to see.

I'm expecting them to just be reskinned Miqo'te at this point, and even then they'd find a way to mess that one up. lol

Maybe they'll give us a real surprise and make them six-foot Lalafells. Instant fantasia if so.

My hope is that those hairstyles will be changed after they will see the backlash they have gotten from the community.
Female Hrothgar, I am waiting for them since the males have been announced, I really would like to see at least a concept art for them, but as it stands at the moment, I don't think I can trust SE with putting the same effort and care into them as they did with the male Viera...

at this point, i've mentally prepared myself to write off Hrothgar and make the switch back to Hyur. I am so sick and tired of being treated like an unwanted afterthought, not worthy of focused attention. I was hoping against hope that this was just some April Fools day joke and we'd get the real hairstyles, but after 4 days, that hope has withered away, leaving me with a feeling of dread as i tick off the days as we march towards April 12th.

If these abysmal monstrosities are the only thing i can look forward to as a Hrothgar, then i'd rather just not be one and save myself the heartache and disappointment, knowing that the race i care so much about, the one the director of the game insisted on creating, isn't given even a modicum of the same attention that any other race is. Even Viera has more to offer than Hrothgar does, and while the choices for hairstyles might be questionable, at least they don't have to pay a fantasia to change them. This is just disrespectful to the extreme. It's like they couldn't be bothered to do any real work on Hrothgar despite all those supposed meetings about it, and just decided to throw out the same hairstyles they gave the Viera, and put no work in to ensure it would work on Hrothgar. And so here we are, waiting for the release of 4 different Karen hairstyles, and 1 vague male one, and 1 that is a cash shop item that was halfassed

I saw the 2b hair style and i had to check twice if it was an Aprils fools joke ... mad they had the idea that it was acceptable.

[Kolsykol]

I think they'll be fine.
The new races have all been fine lack of customization options aside.

I feel you, I love my Hrothgar so much and it pains me to no end that my favourite race in this game is treated like literal trash! My hopes weren't high, but they existed. You can blame that on me but I had some hope after seeing the male Viera and how beautiful was Endwalker. I just wanted to be able to use the existing Hrothgar hairstyles on all the faces (Or reduce them to 4 faces) without paying money to do so, being able to have the Ronso horn wouldn't have hurt either. I am sorry I wanted to be treated equally to the others...

The thing that hurts the most about all of this? Everything else that they showed was amazing, well crafted and cared for by the development team. Even the parasols, an item you can only use out of combat and in idle animation was more of a priority than us... it hurts. Popular or no, the creation of the producer or no, I just want my Hrothgar to get some love. No hairstyles done properly, no helmets and now they took away our ears so I can't even use my earring collection and no females to boot. Are we still talking about the same man who cried on stream because he had to push back the Endwalker release for quality control? But he approved those hairstyles and showed them on stream with no problems? And was holding himself from laughing, just to throw some more salt on the wound!

I understand you want to change back to Hyur and have all the right to do so, I won't. I will stick here, we are already only 3% of the player base. If we lose more and our numbers will dwindle then our race will become just a waste of resources in their eyes. And the bad treatment will continue cause why bother?

[SturmChurro]

I'm proud of you guys. It's too bad it took this.

if you had to buy a fantasia just to change your hairstyle, you'd be singing a different tune.

That's a different issue.
All I said is that I think the models are going to be fine.
