Popping in to give Hrothgals my support again
![]()
They actually remind me of new wonder woman in body shape. I thought she was too skinny at first but the way she played her totally convinced me she was a warrior.
But the real test of a persona is the emotes and poses. MASSIVE SIDE NOTE- One thing that's been clear to me is that the most successful execution of female races tend to have Anime girl archetypes that they hit.
For example ...
M-Land Females are cute girly types. There could easily have a slice of toast in their mouth as they're running.
H-Land Females are the more sporty type.
Potatoes are the cute, smoll, expressive character.
Kitty Girls are the usual main character type. Expressive extroverts, the type of girl who can befriend most anyone. This is why they will always be on top.
Scaley Girls are the shy, dainty, reserved type. I legit couldn't stay as one for more a month because they "look like they've never even stubbed a toe once in their life" as my friend put it ... and I'm a tank main so nope lol!
Now the failures ...
Femroe come across as directionless. Not imposing, we legit have one imposing pose. Also have a stud pose for some reason. Many emotes come across as trying to be overly girly for someone this size and shape and there's animations that just look flat out overly goofy. Femroe just kinda come across as tall, goofy sports instructors.
Elezen are elegant but not in a youthful. Like a old times upper class way.
Viera so far ... seem like the class leader type with hints of tsundere from their reveal trailer. They move with confidence, grace and poise. They're not overly expressive but do have that eyeroll game on lock.
Given the nature of what they're trying to strike feeling wise with Hrothgar (a strong race that looks laser focused on battle) I FEEL like the appealing female Japanese anime girl trope equivalent would be ... delinquent anime girl as they are the type of aggressive, violent female leader that Japanese love using.
the only way we can show support is beginning them not to make hrothgar your typical tall and bulky muscle head... i want my hrothgar to be a miqo'te size....
The hell do you mean, that's the only way we can show support? Make them tall! Make 'em beastly! Make them look like lions! I want my damn amazonian Hrothgar warrior, not some dainty precious little waifu. You want Miqo'te size, go play a Miqo'te.
Yeah, but Miqo'te aren't furry enough. We want cute cat boys/girls with fur!
I want big beefy beast women and you nerds cant stop me
I like how we all like to call Viera as being strong and fierce when the majority won't play them as such and would play them like dainty waifus anyways. Lingerie racial gear doesn't really sell fierce/tough either.
Not to mention such descriptions aren't necessarily race specific.
I'm sure we can all agree the likes of Sadu and Y'stola are anything but weak and dainty despite their races.
