Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

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

Honestly I think what you came up with would be the best lineup for the face themes, at least I can't think of anything that would better cover people's options, especially the idea now of a cheetah styled face since they have those unique trails down from the eyes. Apparently there is an African legend that those markings come from a cheetah mother who had her cubs stolen from her by a hunter and cried for so long that permanent tear streaks appeared on her face which she passed on to her future cubs. So oh man, I would make a cheetah looking Hrothgar in an instant if those markings were an option.

I will be really shocked if they don't give us a Ronso face as an option since they went out of the way to give that to the men, just makes sense for them both to have it then especially since they seem to love callbacks to other Final Fantasy games. The real question there is will they let us have a horn or are they gonna leave that men only? Give us the horned women, SE! Or heck, give the ladies two horns.

Thank you, was really thinking about that for a while. The legend sounds so cool! I hope if they do add a cheetah face option they do allow those streaks!

And I am 99% sure they give us the Ronso face. Mostly because of the popular fan art of the gender bend Kimahri, and if what they said that they looked at fan art when designing male Viera is true, there is to be believed that they would do the same for Female Hrothgar so the Gender bend Kimahri as face 4 and maybe take inspiration from Karmaho's art for the rest XD.

As for the Horn I really, really, really want one for the females too! But in FFX only male Ronso had a horn...

That we've seen/that we have designed

I believe the Ronso of Spira were just all "same-face" because they were NPCs, and that they actually did have a lot more differences than met the eye. So too do Hrothgar, who much like human beings look distinct.

We don't see many female Ronso going around in Spira, since there isn't any major female character of the race that's noteworthy, same for the Guado.

So chances are there are some out there who do have a horn. We just never saw one in the one game they ever showed up.

I had a thought. It might not be true, but thought about putting it out there. The have started working of Female Hrothgar last year around January. A lot of people that work with 3D models do know that this process, does take time, at most 3 months. Animations another 2 months and gear fitting about 4 or 5 months. So they should have everything done by the 10 or 11th month.
Do you guys think that there might have been a chance for the team to take the opportunity and also revisit the male models as well? I am not refering to the head since that problem seems to be solvable now, but more the body/hunch?
I would really like if the male models also got some love, even if that is just the option to remove the hunch.

It would be great if they made the hunch a toggle similar to how a certain other game eventually did for their hunched over orc men. Wouldn't that mean though having to redo how things like armor fits on them? Since a posture change I assume would cause clipping and might even need some changes to certain animations. I feel like they would announce if they were working on something like that or give some sort of hint that they're taking a look at Hrothgar men as well but at the same time it would make for a nice surprise. Might wait until they start working more on customization options for all the races to add something like this though.

Pip please understand the men will forever be stuck looking like lowland gorillas and heads bouncing awkwardly when they run.
Femgar will be dainty and pretty and stand str8 backed so their breastessess dont clip thru their stomach.
Please look forward to it.

I dont imagine theyd have to fix much if anything.
Cposes like /lean /guard and the one cpose every hroth uses to pretend the hunch doesnt exist already have them mostly straightbacked not to mention countless combat/run/idle/dance animations.

I would marry one on my male Miqo.... so yes definetely ♥

I will choose to be a non-believer! I will rebel! I will show the world....uh...that I won't be quiet!

Honestly, I just want sexy Ronso running around, please don't destroy my fantasies™ XD

But I was referring to the hunch being toggleable since a lot of Hrothgar want this, maybe a look at the body and the texture maps to make them nicer and more defined and maybe more patterns for the fur marks?

Either way, a gal can dream.

Back to female Hrothgar, I would like if we got the females to have the option to be 2-toned, darker on the back and lighter on the front like some cats are.
Thinking more about the cheetah face, it would work really well as the base for the Coeurl face. Since it can be imagined as more angular and sharp (would still like the coeurl moustache of the males to be either used as whiskers or eyebrows for the females).

Every day I think about them, I really want to see them! Hope no one minds if I post some drawings of Female Hrothgar fan art that I make now and then. It's my way of coping with the wait, but please feel free to join, the more art the better (at least for me)! I like looking at people's interpretations of them!
