Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

...We're going to end up being reliant on modding again, won't we? :s

my good fellow in christ some of us play on ps4/5 :/
But Im certain moengar will be among the first FORBIDDEN MAGICKS available to ladies, it is arguably the best female-locked hair in the game.
But it is endlessly hilarious to me the big money making most popular female races in the game cant use it. You would think they would like...let hair lay flat on the sides of the head or smth for miqote but no.

I know it's not possible for PS players. That's part of the issue xD:

• On one hand, yes, it's like "Oh we'll be reliant on modding again", which means PC players will be further encouraged to break/continue breaking the ToS, and PlayStation players will still keep getting diddly squat. Which is daft, SE should be the one doing this, not amateurs doing stuff for the half of the playerbase that does this
• On the other hand, often we only know "stuff works" through modding. Several hairstyles have been proven to be able to work on Hrothgar, unlike certain other options that makes them look like an absolute onion, through mods. It's also how we showed Square Enix that ears can absolutely be added to our hairstyles.

Mods are an unfortunate reality of the game because PS players can't use them, and the sheer use of them is not something SE accepts, but that's neither here nor there, because what I meant by that was how yes: people who can have access to this will only be further encouraged to pursue it if Square doesn't get a move on.
And Square should get a move on bc not everyone can just throw their arms in the air and say "fug it, I'll mod". It's just overall irresponsible of them not to. It's irresponsible to leave Hrothgars behind so much on account of a technicality.

As for Miqo'te, I really don't know. They're one of the game's largest money makers for sure, really big draw-ins, especially for newer players. But at the same time, they're clearly not the favourite child, since even their racial features are getting thrown into the void nowadays. Something we warned them about, but they didn't seem to care. Oh well.
So it really doesn't surprise me that even they don't have access to everything.

Question is... will Femgars.

M*ds are neither here or there. Cause not everyone can or wants to use them + they are against the TOS. But I fully agree that Hrothgar as a whole should still receive more hairstyles and hats with future patches and the new expansion. There is a new one coming with the deep dungeon that I think would look amazing on male Hrothgar. So fingers crossed it would be available to them.
For the Moenbrida hairstyle, I think it would be a very good hairstyle for female Hrothgar, I already like how it looks on Roegadin and Elezen. Even if they won't add it due to an excess of "empty space" due to the ear placement, might make it look a bit weird or uncanny. Though I would love to see a half-shave hairstyle for female Hrothgar as an option.

Miqo'te ears float a little over their head, with the gap hidden by their hair. It might not work out too well with Moenbryda's hair leaving one side of the scalp visible and exposing the gap.

Plus leaving that much of the side of the head with no ear visible is a bit of an uncanny valley trigger. Yeah, we know the cat ears are up there, but......

I don't think it's that shiningly wonderful to be worth adapting for the races it doesn't naturally suit, and it's from the "semi-race-specific" segment of the hairstyle list where things were being shared between some races but not everyone.

Also, from memory, I think there'd be at least as much issue with the "flopped mohawk" side clipping through cat ears/horns as there is with the other side being exposed. Certainly for Au Ra, who don't need adaptations for the similarly short Stormblood monk style.

I am a visual person. My first opinion was that Moenbrida's hairstyle would not look well because of the amount of empty space, kind of how it would look for Miquo'te.
But I got curious and tried drawing it. The face is inspired by a mountain lion, I thought that would be fit. And I love the result!



Last drawing I added a small backstory to my fan art and I thought it was fun, so I'll do it again! ^^

She was the owner of a popular tavern on the outskirts of the main city of Bozja (before the Garlean occupation). It was a relatively small business, the main patrons were the soldiers who were finishing their shifts and wanted a quiet place to have a drink and relax. But occasionally she would receive an adventurer or 2. The Lady of the tavern was also the main cook and bartender, she also had about 4 or 5 employees. She had a great imagination, often her favourite occupation was listening and writing down the stories of the soldiers and adventurers, dreaming of going on her own adventures someday, exploring the wide world and meeting new friends with new stories. But alas she could never due to her duties and responsibilities for her tavern. That dream never left for her dough and with the help of her employees and a good adventurer friend, they were about to set on a small vacation adventure in Doma. The plan was for a short visit, no more than 2 weeks. And she waited with bated breath for the day of departure to arrive. A day that would sadly never come. The first Garlean attack was aimed at the zone in which the small tavern was located, 25 deaths were the result of the attack. The Lady being one of them. She never had the chance to see the world.
