Gender locked race?

[Corue]

but I still have my doubts about that Hrothgar screenshot someone posted. :v First of all, the quality is awful. There is a giant screen glare, and it just looks like a roe in a robe with their back to the viewer.

Is it the one of "FFplayertest" in Eureka?
That's just a Pantera from Bless pasted over a screenshot.

If the weapon being over the name wasn't a dead giveaway I don't know what is.

Right this is what I initially was looking for.

Edit: Also I'd like to say it's not that I dislike whatever hrothgar would be so much that I don't want them in the game if they do get in, since any new lore/content is good content to me, I just dislike people being so irrationally dismissive to people who want or are hopeful for male viera and trying to paint the portrait that hrothgar in concept is this long requested race comparatively. It's rather disingenuous.

We obviously haven't seen everything about the viera yet, again they have no sub-racial render which is odd if the models used in the reveal trailer WERE the sub-racial model, and I find it hard to believe if they're GENDERLOCKING two races they'd also remove their subraces unless they're planning some BIIIG customization options.

I think whatever side you're on, be open to them discussing or speculating. If hrothgar people want to talk about how they can't wait for their bara cats, let them, if male viera people want to talk about how they can't wait for their bunbois, let them. If people want to talk about the genders being genderlocked and what that could mean for them in the future, of course that is also valid (and the topic of the thread) practice courtesy, not condescension is all.

That being said when friday hits as long as we see more gunbreaker(or even a bunbreaker) I've already won honestly.

You really cant look at TERA for what people like with races, as they locked several years worth of classes (I think it's still the case for new classes as well) to specific races, sex, or both.

It would be like looking at BC/LK era WoW and going "man people really love spacegoats and blood elves". While it could be 100% correct, they were also the only races alliance side that could be shaman and horde side that could be paladin, meaning you were guaranteed to see an artificially high number of them, regardless if people liked playing them or not. (And if you liked being able to see what was going on, you played pfemale dranei, as they took up 1/6 the screen space males took up)

Actually, what if hrothgar was a mixed race?

[MrKimper]

Hear me out, it was a bait. He's frustrated because they figured him out.

Then the question would be, mixed with what? xD I guess we will see. Heck, to be honest, we don't even know if this isn't some elaborate 'red herring' type deal going on. Though that seems absolutely silly that Square would go so far as to pepper false information in regards to Hrothgar. I wonder if they're going to look as majestic as their manes.

Alternatively it's the perfect bait to counter leaks - leak themselves something that's false. Get people talking and also weed out some false leakers who'd latch onto that. Then switch it around on FanFest.

What if it was just a new race we were getting instead of male Viera that's lion based and has a majestic mane?
