Prediction: Female Hrothgar will be human-like, not beast-like

[Iedarus]

if square wanted a popular race, they wouldn't bothered with Hroth to begin with. they could have just added another human race with dog ears instead

I think they will be somewhat animal like, but less so then the males maybe? Idk, either way I look forward to the reveal. I wouldn't be super suprised if they just turned out ot be miqo'te 2.0 though

I said it before and I'll say it again: They're just gonna recycle the femroe body (without the slouch so here's hoping they remove the slouch on male Hrothgar) which is why I am 95% certain we'll get the one in the middle of the chart.

Kobolds have forged peace with Limsa, and the Amalj'aa with Ul'dah, plus we have had Mamool Ja and Qiqirn standing around in Limsa since forever, it's hardly new.

Oh tell me when this happened? And how would the wol be one of those beasts?

The point of those developments is that these thoughts have always been wrong, there is nothing that entrinsically make the Beast races lesser, they just look kinda weird, and an individual rising above prejudices and being accepted by their deeds is actually fairly common, it's just not enough to fix the systematic issues around said prejudice, plus not all Beast Tribes were treated the same way since the start, like I said, we have Mamool Ja, Qiqirn, and Goblins allowed within city walls since ARR, Moogles are also considered a Beast race and they work along with the Padjal in the Twelveswood, which is to say a Beast race has a governamental job in Gridania, if the problem is suspension of disbelief, you can simply assume that Hrothgars are so scarcely seen, not exactly native to Eorzea after all, that the guards at the major cities don't even know if they should bar their passage, and at a glance they seem harmless enough so they decide there is no reason to, that's all it takes.

Huh.

All three got me having feelings I really shouldn't have. Am I becoming a degenerate?

That is what I'm hoping for kinda, tall, and a bit less muscular than the males. The face is gonna be the most important factor. I doubt they will remove the male hunch tho, sadly

They could do a new Male Form as well. More like the original from FFX. It would be like Midlander and Highlander.

They could, but looking at how much they struggled with just hair, I won't hold my breath

NGL when I saw the Male Hrothgar standing there I was like 'damn this isn't for me, they look kinda goofy with that hunch'. Then I saw that one /cpose idle animation where they stand up straight and I was like 'oh..?' They look so much better when they stand up straight. I assume they would have been stood up straight when they were serving as the queen's guard, I can't imagine they were allowed to hunch over while standing to attention. So I wish we could have just... 100% uptime on 'non-hunched', instead of it being relegated to specific idleposes

And yes, it's basically guaranteed they'll reuse a skeleton, and since they used Male Roe for the Male Hroth, it stands to reason that they'd use Fem Roe for Fem Hroth.

It's interesting to see how the others imagine how they see them already.

It should be stated, for the avoidance of confusion, that the reason these pictures make the idea of 'Female Hrothgar' look so scuffed is because that's a Mi'qote body. Yes, modders have limitations to work with, but I don't really understand why they did it with a Mi'qote base. If anything, this should be evidence that making them Fem Roe adjacent instead of Mi'qote/Au Ra adjacent is the more sensible way to go

[Burmecia]

Dunno
I think they did ok with M-Viera
And M-Hrothgar look already super sweet

I have faith that F-Hroths will look fine, be fine (ꈍᴗꈍ)

M-hroths look like ronso, I hope F-hroths will look like ronso too
I mean
With viera boys we didn't have pre-existing reference (except that HW sketch) like with hrothgals
