Graphical Update: Female Hrothgar feedback

[ZhaiRhen]

Apart from what has already been said with dark skin tones (you can't have a completely black cat), I would like to make a suggestion regarding hairstyles:
The possibility of not carrying any, such as lionesses, pumas or panthers.
It is something that seemed interesting to me since the Bozja murals were seen; and it shocks me that that possibility is not there.

I would LOVE a hairless option honestly! Seems like it would be an easy way to add just that little bit more variety to our options.

I'd really love a toggle or something for Face 3's fangs, they're an ugly dark brownish black color that makes no sense when every other face has pearly whites, one of the eye facial features is entirely pointless so why not replace it with a fang toggle? Otherwise I love Face 3, even the weirdly 'gemstone-ish' facial horns/spikes they have instead of tattoos.

Thank you for posting this. I posted a feedback thread myself but it didn't cover the pixelated parts! I recall when female Viera came out in the Benchmark they too had a seam on their neck. I wonder if that's just early character woes? I hope that's the case anyway.

What I do not understand is why they made the same mistake twice. They locked hairstyles to male Hrothgar heads and people didn't like it and it took them a long time to detach those and put them on all of the heads. (Nope I was mistaken, sorry!) Why didn't they start with not locking them this time around? I am honestly baffled. Those hairstyles look fantastic. I really hope this is just a Benchmark thing and when Dawntrail releases they aren't tied to heads. It is honestly my biggest complaint.

Bonus Hrothgals (I cannot make up my mind what I want) I think the lighter skintones get away with the shading more, as usual unfortunately.

Hairstyles locked to faces is still a genuinely frustrating thing. I wish I knew why this was a thing.

IMO it needs more color choices in the skin.

They didn't do that. They made it so you don't have to fanta to change your hair. The hairstyles are still locked to specific heads. I thought the same thing and verified for myself after being corrected by someone.

Side note on the thread topic, I noticed earlier when playing around in the character creator that on Face 3 the fangs are a totally different color than the other teeth. This means that whenever she opens her mouth it looks like someone glued the fangs into her mouth rather than them being part of her natural teeth. Not sure if it's a big or intended but it looks quite strange.

The thing difference between male and female on this benchmark is there is not enough body fur on the female body. For the male hrothgar, it has dramatical change than before. However, the overall female body is not like that male hrothgar. It seems more like a human body, not like a lion's body base. What I think is need the same arm fur pattern as male hrothgar, and more body fur expression.

Also, if the type 2 snout is a little longer, I think it will be a more male Rosgal-like cat and face. Because the current face is closer to humans, I think the nose, jaw, and snout of the face should be a little longer based on the face of a lion. The attached image is my bad paint I made the jaw a little longer.

Overall, thank's for the FFXIV team's effort to give us a great female Hrothgar! Thank you

OH you're right. I went onto the Benchmark and saw all the hairstyles for the males and thought they had unlocked them all. I didn't check to see if the first few were locked to heads, but I just did. That is so disappointing. Didn't the community get really upset about it or did that get drowned out with the uproar over no hats and other hairstyles? This makes me sad I love the ponytail on face 4 but I don't like the face. now I'll probably never get to use it.

Yeah I like the wild mane from face 3 but I'm leaning toward actually using face 2 so I can't use that one. I tend to give the devs the benefit of the doubt and assume if they're locked it's for a reason, but it definitely is a bummer. Hopefully they can address it one day.

Thanks for writing forum, agree everythin here too, we need more distance between fangs

And don't understand why they did another hairstyle locked ;o; i wanna use face3-face2's hairstyle, we even get only 4-5 hairstyles for each face
Currently face model is too much human-likely(as their jaws are too short) I want more long jaw-snout options it could be more lion-likely
