Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Eisi]

The worse thing they could do, is Picture #3 and #4.
Because we already have Miqote. If you wanna be a catgirl, you already have that option, what would be the Point?
We dont have have a Lioness / Female Beastman Option.

Be smart, be logical, dont be lazy. Whats the point of a Beastrace if you dont follow-through for BOTH Genders/Sexes?

If there are 1% of the playerbase or potential new players who would ever consider playing a beast-like Femhroth, but 25% who would consider a more Miqote-like Femhroth, you would technically serve more players with the second option. You would essentially offer more customization for female Miqote players by allowing them to also play a taller, green or pink-skinned catgirl with a bunch of alternate customization options.

Even if you consider players who would only like beastly Femhroth and don't care about anything else, I think those players would be such an extreme minority that they would be easily eclipsed by even those who would only play Miqohroth.

Don't expect beastly Femhroths is what I say! Be pleasently surprised if u get them, but don't be disappointed if they are big Miqos.

There is an enormous amount of development resources being invested into creating a new race - at this point the final race - and they will go with the popular option

Q: Do you have any updates regarding female Hrothgar?
（04:14:39）

A: With Endwalker-related tasks finally calming down, rough sketches are now being made to solidify their design in earnest. It’ll be a long while before they’re implemented, but progress has been steady.

Some may think, “Won’t only a few people play as female Hrothgar?” but my concerns aren’t really about whether female Hrothgar will become as popular as other races. More importantly, expanding the in-game world with a variety of different races and players of varying characteristics is a crucial step towards making FFXIV an RPG that can be played alone or with friends. As such, it’s not about how many people will use them, but rather about implementing female Hrothgar for the people looking forward to them.

Shoot, thats right....this is the FFXIV Forums....
Ok, Ok, You got me, Im sorry, I take it back.

No
Im GONNA EXPECT Beastly. And I WILL be Disappointed, if not outright Furious, if they are Miqote 2.0. Because it will be an even bigger Middlefinger to this race and its playerbase, on top of the many other issues it already has. Why make it worse?
As @CidHeiral posted, and as @Nestama said over here

Their popularity should NOT be the Focus. If they really cared about money and popularity, we wouldn't have gotten Hrothgar in the 1st Place.

That 25% already have no lack of Options. Meanwhile a Non-Humanoid / Non-Human looking Race option was literally Non-Existent until the Hrothgar were made.
Both the Males and the Females should look Beastly. Not just the males, and then the Females are just humans. Its stupid and weird.
Yet again though, Id support if they did both Picture 1 & 2. A Beastly Version like the males. And a more cutesy smaller snout / more humanish version. It would serve both sides who want to be a badass, and those that just wanna be pretty and cute. And then those who are creative that can make the Beastly ones look cute and the Cute ones to look Badass.
This is also assuming and hoping they get FemRoe Bod. Or even something else just tall and fit.

You're taking that Eisi character too seriously
Account created 2 years ago, talking out of their behind, with ZERO hard evidence and pure speculation, assuming Yoshi P and the rest of the team will be exactly the same as every other MMO does, when XIV has, time and time again, gone against the grain.

I disagree with Eisi, however - how long ago does a person have to have created their forum account for you to take them seriously? How ridiculous.

Im just replying....well...repeating the same Jargon Ive said for years on this topic and speculation.
I am needlessly Passionate about this and have snorted Hopium hardcore on this, because I have a Male Alt, but Id LOVE to make my Main a Female Hrothgar if the conditions are met.
The wait for their reveal is killing me lol. And Id hate to lose all my love and trust in this game over the Gender/Sex of a stupid Playable Race Avatar.

Everybody who wants fierce beast-like lionesses, prepare to be disappointed!

What we will get is not a female pendant to male Hrothgar but instead big female Miqote.



This is an official artwork for "The Queen" from the Shadowbringers Artbook:



Sure they might change course in the future, but this is a big Moonkeeper.

#3 is the best picture and what I want to make. If i have to compromise then I guess #2 is alright. Still pretty cute. #1 is awful. Hard no. How could anyone want that? No,no,no.

Im confident thats why they want Option 3.
They Fear to embrace true Waifu Amazons.

#1 is awful. Hard no. How could anyone want that? No,no,no.

easy.....Furries, or people like me that just want something thats not another F***ing Human. (Also Im a Cat person so...yay!)
You're already a Miqote, so what the heck are you going to get out of Option 3 or 4 that you dont already play or is not already in the game?
Let us have this, its (probably) All we are ever going to get in this game.
