You can't "lock" something that doesn't exist.

Actually, Yoshida's department hiring people since 1st April. ツ　Not necessarily for FFXIV tho since they work on other projects as well.

Indeed. That is part of my point with the other person up there ^. There is more than just money involved and they most likely thought of hiring someone long ago, just couldn't or didn't for unknown reasons to us.

well, normally in Japan are few seasons when a lot of companies start to hire people. April which is also a period when students graduate from school and university so I suppose that's why they opened recuirement now (some of positions in their list do not ask experience).

It isn't our fault you don't know what a term means. Pretty embarrassing you felt the need to make an entire topic about it when a google search would have told you what "genderlocked" means.

"But you can stretch out and add pointy ears on a Hyur and call it a new race apparently. >_>"
"But you can put Kitty ears and a tail on a Hyur and call it a new race apparently. >_>"
"But you can put scales and horns on an Male Elezen/ Female Midlander Hyur and call it a new race apparently. >_>"
"But you can put Bunny Ears on a Female Elezen and call it a new race apparently. >_>
"But you can put in a Potato call it a new race apparently. >_>"

... You want to go on?

You say all this, but aside from Potatoes and Roes, Miqo'te, Au Ra, and Elezen all use a doctored up Hyur model.

Which make Hrothgar a good addition to the game, because it doesn't use a doctored Roe model, its entirely unique. Viera on the other hand...... I guess the community wanted it?

Well, technically we will know only after 5.0 release when certain part of community will investigate it. There is high chance that they share body with Roes. Fur is a texture most likely, not part of 3D model itself.

We should know with the bench mark I would suspect next month.

Its a shared skeleton at most (like minotaurs and cyclops'), which I would hope for, for resource management

Yea, I suspect the Hrothgar are sharing the roe model. Keep in mind that elezen, hyur, miqote, and au ra all share the same skeleton when it comes to gear. They're just modified a bit. Hrothgar is probably using a heavily modified roe model.


If they were a brand new model that would mean SE manually mapped each piece of gear to the new skeleton. I really doubt they did that. :v Insane amount of work to do when they could use a similar model that has all that done already.

Your statement became irrelevant the moment you said heavily modified. If Hrothgar is using a heavily modified roe model, then you could also say that it using a heavily modified Zbrush/Maya/3DS Max human base, or heavily modified cube if thats what they start with. Very few character models start as a cube, and they need a base. If the roe model was used as a base, then fair enough, it makes sense given their size and build, but that doesn't make it any less of a new model.
