Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

"Seeing the designs" is the same difference as revealing the race in their entirety from a marketing perspective. They would be undercutting the impact of the full reveal. You're also then stretching that new race hype from a six month period where you're talking about them regularly to an additional six months where nothing much is going on with them. Not to mention it would also most likely fuel months of forum rage that the art does or doesn't have X or Y because people don't have the context of the actual models rendered and in motion.

I've wanted to play a beast race in this game since I started years ago. I'd love to see what Hrothgals look like now as much as anyone else here but I understand why that would be an unwise decision from the dev's perspective. Hrothgar came out nearly four years ago. Six more months isn't that big of a deal.



They're going to be what they're going to be, knowing that now or later makes no difference. They're not being designed by committee.

I mean, bold of you to assume there won't be any rage overall when they do come out anyway. There's still a relative majority that wants one thing and a minority that wants another. Whichever we get, someone will throw a fit. I just personally am on the side of going for what the majorty seems to want, but at the same time, that's still bias from my part.

Otherwise, yeah dw, you're right. And I do get that. It's just wishful thinking at this point to want to know how the design will be, that way the freak-out will happen sooner rather than later. Because we've seen them implement stuff and the reaction be poor, a lot of which could have been avoided if they had just stopped and gauged what the people interested in playing their content actually wanted.

e_e and I very much would like to avoid another moment of "Oh, your reaction to us cutting your ears out surprised us :c", like they didn't see it coming


Editing for clarification: I do agree with you guys, keep that in mind. I was just explaining why people wanted to see things a bit sooner and what they wanted to avoid, but what you said, Cid, makes sense. I'm not going to disprove that, since it's true from my perspective. As for Pip We all are on edge and expecting. But unfortunately, we need to wait and be patient. Square will never work any faster just because we hope for it. Best we can do is wait, see how their business model is laid out, not freak out if they don't show anything because we do know they ARE coming, and provide feedback if it's not up to par. And if they do go for a choice most people are not happy with, then as unfortunate as it is, we either choose to take it or not go for it and present the reason why.

We can avoid a Male Viera problem, is what I'm saying.
