New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[Seafishie]

I would rather they remove the slouch than give us those feet.

This. I like my anthro more akin to human proportions. That's one thing SE did right with Hroths.

Is there even a possibility of them removing the slouch, or would that be too much of a hassle? I'd assume they would have to rework all the emotes.

I know we shouldn‘t indulge ourselves in what if scenarios (Female Au Ra concept are, I‘m never gonna heal from that), but I wish SE would have gone with 1 ear type for Viera and Hrothgar but made their feet unique and „limited“ instead.

The possibility is as simple as changing the animation. Which is really no different than making an emote for one singular race. The possibility is not only there, it's 100% doable for them. Fans are capable of porting over animations from other races into Hrothgar with only a couple minor fixes required, so for Square it would be a piece of cake.

Edit: And nope, they don't need to change that many emotes. You'd be surprised! Very few emotes actually use the Hrothgar slouch. Because most emotes that aren't Hrothgar-specific are just ported from Roegadyn, which they themselves are ported from Hyur for the most part.

...whether they're WILLING however...

Edit2:

I‘m afraid that‘s never going to happen since there are some people that like the hunch …unless it was optional similar to orcs and trolls in WOW?

True. It does also add some uniqueness to Hrothgar, I'd wager. As for whether you can toggle it... metadata switches ;D it's a thing. Everything is in the realm of possibility, and all these things are frankly just a matter of a few days' work, most of that time spent on making sure there are no bugs or weird clipping. Then give the players the choice of switching.

[Denji]

How about both?

no because 1.2 hours after the change there would be a bunch of threads calling square lazy for not making digitgrade footwear.
I just want ears.

I think you’re going to have a bunch of folks who want a bunch of things. A ton of options. Some people like the Kimahri paws. Some folks like the “Horde Hunch” even though that’s the cause of a ton of collar clipping*.

And some of it, I, personally, will not like. And that’s OK. If I felt that strongly about it I’d do something more productive than posting in forums. Fora? I forget

That said, Hrothgar, as they stand right now are sloppy, buggy, and unfinished. And if you want to make some design choices that alienate some and gratify others, that’s cool.

But make choices. Don’t just throw stuff over the wall.

The story of the Hrothgar is one of a reserved race from Ilsabard that opened itself up to other cultures. Can we, maybe, have the cultural evolution and revolution not stop there?

Having Hrothgar learn that you don’t have to put up with headaches from crappy eyesight, that there are glasses. Or that you’re more likely to survive in combat with a brain bucket on.

Or even that Hrothgar players want to participate in seasonal events and wear the gear everyone else gets to.

I am Hrothgar, not Nyan-derthal. Let me evolve.

Can I just say I got a major giggle out of the term 'nyan-derthal'? I play Hrothgar myself, and the restrictions are frustrating myself. Anyone else think the claws from the starter Hrothgar gear should be visible on gear that has open fingers? It's a shame only one item in the game has that style of shorter claws that I'm aware of. I know of the Claws of the Beast but those aren't quite right.

[Lumikarh]

I'm also not a fan of the hunched back.

Both for aesthetics and because stretches, clips a ton with way too many gear in the game and i swear can see the horrible massive polygons in the back of more than a few.

Also developers do their best do not use it at all on cutscenes anyways.

Listen if the gear is already meant to be used without a hunch and with how easy people shown is to fix this silly unfinished badly implemented thing they might as well change it or add it as an option.

I would love this as a toggleable/dyeable option.
