Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Jettinson]

On the other hand, Hrothgars, as a race, have been treated like the unwanted child so I wouldn't be surprised if they're presented as little more than a footnote in the character graphic updates panel

Wait huh... now that I noticed, there wasn't even any Hrothgar presence in the Shadowbringer trailer, right? Oof.

Keep in mind that they rendered a Viera on SHB's opening Hrothgar have no such thing. Even Roes at least had a presence with 1.0's trailer.

Obese Miqo'te have a bigger presence than Hrothgars do.

I had to rewatch the Shadowbringers trailer and Holy Moly. Makes me wonder when they release the female Hrothgars if they will be in the trailer or just billed as a stand in. Makes me sad. Hopefully they turn out well, cause I am on the fence for trading in the scales if they do.

I am fairly certain that the trailer was released before Hrothgar were revealed, making it difficult to include them. Letting the cat out of the bag, you might say...


(Sorry, couldn't pass that one up.)

Man, for being the one who wanted a playable beast race added to the game, Yoshi (and the dev team overall) really treats Hrothgar as an afterthought. :/

I hope you're right. But, judging from their track record with how they treat Hrothgar, I still harbor a healthy amount of skepticism. I'm still relatively hopeful that female Hrothgar will make the situation better for the race overall, but we will have to wait and see.

That pun made me giggle, by the way.

Maybe this has been Yoshi's plan all along and on April 1st, he is gonna turn all mi'qotes into Hrothgars with hats and more hair styles. A girl can dream.

Yoshi-P has mentioned in the past that the trailers are made many months before they're done with the idea on where the expansion is fully going. That's why pretty much every expansion has contained events that have not happened in the game, they're proofs of concept, in a sense.

Ok, great...

...aaaaaaaaaaaand that was just Shadowbringers alone. They've since had plenty of chances since, haven't they?

Because that's what I'm getting at: Viera have had a presence, Obese Miqo'te have had some too, even Male Roegadyn have some with the 1.0 trailer. And yet Hrothgar haven't even had a mention.

I'll also argue that they had both races done, and that the opening sequence could have also included a Hrothgar in 3D rendering as a way to reveal the race. The final trailer is always presented along the final few bits of relevant information. They could have found a way to introduce one somewhere, but they didn't. "They hadn't introduced Hrothgar yet", that's... literally no excuse :T plus, they had already accidentally leaked the race with the FR translation and even hinted at it with Yoshida's shirt the event before. People knew there was something "catty" going on. And it's perfectly fine to display something strange and leonine on the trailer as the reveal, and then elaborate further down on the panel.

I would love Yoshi forever if he did that. It would be the riskiest decision in all of gaming history. Probably.

...there can only be one race with animal traits.

And I know which I'd rather stayed >:3
