I think we can agree to disagree on this one. Warrior women are still feminine and beautiful, even if you might not see them that way. The bull image is a complete and utter disappointment, they look like the same species, but not a full grown man and woman. More like a dad and daughter thing going on there with immense perv pandering on the female.

Mithra is literally the Miquo'te of FFXI. No one wants a bigger Miquo'te cause that would be a waste of time. Why are you keeping it to the flat faces? Everyone who wants to play Hrothgar doesn't want just a taller Miquo'te with a fur texture. Tons of fan art that I have seen has them with Snouts and look like a female variant of a Hrothgar instead of a bad-looking Mythra!

When I say I want them to look cohesive and like they are part of the Hrothgar species, I mean a Beast-looking woman, not a Miquo'te, Mithra or the Loprits, they all mean nothing to me or this discussion cause they are all FLAT FACED when Hrothgar are not! Instead of a perv pandering flat face woman with a fur texture slapped on, why can't we get something cool? And just on the fear that not a lot of people are gonna play them. And no those won't be 5 people as you say, even female Roe has over 15K players (at endgame) and they are the least played race/gender combo.

Instead of concerning yourself with what the players that already play the game think, why not consider the people that would like to play the game but don't want to play any of the current races, but might like Female Hrothgar? That is and was the original point with Hrothgar. They added Viera for the existing players, but Hrothgar was always meant to attract new and different people into the game. There are a lot of players who ONLY play beast races and won't touch the game unless they can play as that and YP knows this, that is why he said that adding them is for the long-time health of the game. I know a lot of people who flat-out refused to play this game purely because they weren't given any options in terms of beast races.

That is why I say to not give them a flat face purely on the "Their hats will fit" notion, cause that is a non-issue! Wanna know how much it takes to modify a hat to fit on a Hrothgar head? 10 minutes. +/- 2 minutes for opening the folders. For that to have a botched race? No thank you. Make them right or not at all. At this point I don't even care about the body, I just want them to keep their beast features. Just as players hated when Hrothgar lost their ears, just like that they will get pissed for having a Mithra with a furry texture on top.
