Seems there is a glitch in the French localization that exposes all race names, including Viera and 'Hrothgar':

Discussion has already started around here. At least somewhere in thar Thread. Let's not scatter the topic too much.
I'm taking Lore way too seriously. And I'm not sorry about that.
Lion dudes. I am so ready for it. That's just cool.
As I RP as a mix'd Miqo'te (both clans), I would love a beefier female Hroathgar. I could RP as being a stronger specimen of cat. Or a Meracydian Miqo'te even.
And yeah let's please scatter the topic so it's not buried in a thread with a name that has no relation to it and so other people can you know find this conversation.

I personally think it's better this way.Discussion has already started around here. At least somewhere in thar Thread. Let's not scatter the topic too much.
It's a different topic than what was started as a means to speculate about bunny bois not showing up.
Anyway, lion people.
Agreed. The other thread is 90% an echo chamber formale vierabunny boi enthusiast so I don't see the harm in making a separate thread in this situation.
No it's not. Players have hated gender locked races consistently for years and in far more than just this game. It's not about wanting bunny bois, it's about having the same racial choices presented to you regardless of the gender of your character. I don't plan on ever playing a male viera but I 100% support having them in the game because I don't want other players to be deprived of this choice.

Anyways. I have this my image in my head of muscles somewhere between M Au Ra and Roegadyn. Bulky but not a brick house.
Lol, you do realise it's highly likely this race will be gender locked if viera is? Right?
Yes, it is. I've poked my head into that thread several times and based on comments throughout (not all, but a lot), it's central focus has consistently been about male viera. Anything remotely "pro-male viera" in there gets showered with 'likes.' Let discussion about a different race have a chance here.
If that was the case, people shouldn't have made such a big case for viera as a playable race when they're literally represented throughout the series they appear in as practically "all female," regardless of what their lore writes just to enforce that males exist for reproduction and what-not. The issue I see is that people want to interpret viera lore in a way that agrees with what they want to see and suits their narrative. If the devs decide to not give male viera for their own reasons, then that's fine with me- let them preserve their stance on what they want their viera to be in the franchise. If they do give viera male, then whatever, the pandering continues. I'm curious to see what this Hrothgar is, give it a chance, and see how original it is for XIV. If they're making viera all-female and this new Hrothgar all-male, I am fine with that since it's not as if the gender ratio has been made lopsided.Players have hated gender locked races consistently for years and in far more than just this game.

Have you not considered that the focus is like this because it is a new race? People always bring up the gender locked races in 1.0 and FFXI and how badly they were received when talking about viera. I am astonished you managed to miss the multitude of the posts with these comments. If you think the gender locking conversation is only due to some weird fixation on bunny men then I have to assume you haven't been paying as much attention as you claim.
And yet in lore male miqo'te are rarely seen but among the playerbase they're extremely popular. Never mind how in 1.0 that race gender combo was unplayable. So if players can play the once unplayable "rare" male miqo'te, then why can't they also play the rare male viera? Why the double-standard?
You're also forgetting that SE own all the FF lore so they can change it any way they please. And they certainly have done so many times already. A lot of what they borrowed from other FF games isn't used in the exact same way in FFXIV. If SE don't introduce male viera it would be because they don't want to. Not because they cannot.
