Wow! That art actually is really good. And long hairstyles are the best!

+1 to that! MORE LONG HAIRSTYLES PLEASE!!! <3

Designs.
A small amount of Custom Options out the gate would suck, but they can always improve (as much as we all would hate to wait) but what would hurt WAY more, is if their base design is crap. If they had a good list of options but look like crap, no sell. Who cares, they ruined it.
But If they had a small list of options but looked great, then Id be happy. Because the Males, despite their limited capacity, people have shown they are still more then capable of looking amazing.

Some male Hrothgar are stunning despite their limitation. But I 100% agree with you here. If the design is solid and provides a good "blank slate" regardless of how many customisation options there are, we can make some amazing-looking WOLs. My 1 selfish wish is the Ronso Horn for females, I know that none of the female Ronso had a horn, but I just what to go around and yell "Hornless! Hornless!" to all of my enemies.
Also, the Karmaho's art of the RPR is what I would love for the body type of Female Hrothgar to be, it both gives a nod to the tall and curvy Female Ronso to what we would imagine a strong, regal and fierce panther woman would look like.

But regardless of my preference, I would be happy with anything as long as we get the female Ronso/Hrothgar we all love! <3
Besides, it doesn't matter what I prefer, at this point in time the body of the Female Hrothgars should have already been finished and put into animation and armour fitting. All left to do is wait.

Despite them being called Ronso on the 1st, I still refuse to believe, or ever refer to the Hrothgar as Ronso. So....heck, bring it on, a Horned HrothGal?! Id be all for that! I hardly wear hats, so I could compromise for a Horn on my Future Lioness :3
Ive been very vocal about my preference and what I want and will play. But at this point, I just want them to look good, to look like Lionesses / Real Cafolk in general like the Males.
That is the requirement. As long as they can meet that, everything after that I feel I can live with...except I pray they arnt tiny and feeble like Female Au-Ra next to Male Au-Ra.

We need another Tall and tough race like The Roes as well as another Tiny race to go with the Lalafell. (Ivalice Moogle bby!)

Turning into a little funny, drunk, fluffy butt, bat-kitten will be the only way Ill ever betray Cinnabun.

Haven't seen that one, it looks really great !


Maho's art is so good that i really don't want anything too different from that. I know we probably won't have really big hairstyle like in their arts, but i hope we'll get more long racial hair than short one, considering how many of these are already in game.

This does look great! I hope the female Hrothgar look as good as this!

Long live Hrothgar queen Zanarkand!
I know what you mean, it is a hard comparison between Hrothgar of 14 and Ronso of 10. But the inspiration is there and I wanted to play as a Ronso woman since 10, my love for them was doubled while playing Blitzball! And yes, big strong feline woman, at least as tall as the males and looking like they could snap a cat boy in 2! We already have Miquo'te for small and dainty cat girl, I want a tall and fierce cat woman!

I feel like I'm in that rare group that really likes the coeurl mustache face for Hrothgar men (Bajsaljen's face). No idea how they might give the women something similarly coeurl looking tho. ;-;

Can't wait for the reveal, I've reached the point of not even caring what they might look like anymore I just want to make my kitty queen already, been wanting one since I started playing this game during Shadowbringers.
Obviously Fan Fest and 7.0 seem the most obvious (especially given the graphics update like I pointed out in a previous post on this thread) but I'm still clinging to a small hope for maybe 6.5 so can't wait to be crushed when we see nothing at that Live Letter wooo.

You are definitely in a rare group, but don't feel alone in it :3 I find Bajsaljen really good looking, and I even helped a friend of mine fantasia into one for a month and he went for that face as well.

I don't know how they'd replicate it for the females. BUT it'd be interesting to see something similar being added. And no, I don't care about women having moustaches :P normalize body hair for once~

You are not alone! I have a soft spot for coeurl face, mostly because it's from the game and the evolutionary implication (do Coeurls and Hrothgar have the same ancestor!? OvO). But I was thinking about how they might implement that, a moustache might not be feasible for a female character, but I think they could do 1 of 2 things to solve the issue. Either move the coeurl whiskers more toward the side of the face instead of under the nose (giving it more of a whiskers look) or use them as eyebrows (making them a bit more slender so as to not clutter the forehead).

Speaking of faces, what faces do you think females should have?

The males have:
Face 1: Lion
Face 2: Tiger/Leopard
Face 3: Coeurl
Face 4: Ronso

I think the females could have:
Face 1: Lioness
Face 2: Cheetah/Panther/Caracal
Face 3:Coeurl
Face 4: Ronso

Would that cover all ranges? The males face 1 is softer if you want to make a gentle-looking Hrothgar. Face 2 is more on the cute/handsome side if you just want the option of making a pretty Hrothgar. Face 3 is more on the bada$$ and feral side if you want a scary-looking Hrothgar. And Face 4 is if you either want to RP as a Ronso or want a beast race but with a more Human shaped head, or you just want to RP as an Oni and that face is the only one with a horn (sadly).
And I think the female faces would cover the same range: Face 1 soft, Face 2 Pretty/cute, Face 3 Fierce and Face 4 Ronso/More humanoid head.


As for the announcement, most probably it will be in 7.0, it doesn't make sense before that because of the graphic update. Like a lot of other people have said, there is no way they would make a low-fidelity model for 6.5 just to be replaced with a better model a few months after. Even though I wish I could have them, it's just not a good thing to get your hopes up just to be disappointed for 6.5 (/pat <wait.1> /pat). Better to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised if they do announce them or just not get too hurt by them not including them.
There is a third option, but even that I am iffier about. They could announce them at the fan fest, then a week or so after release the benchmark.
