What if Female Hrothgar...

Female au ra can't happen again.

IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. D':<

I will literally cry if the one chance we have at proper bestial women turns into another 'uwu' fest. Not knocking female Au'ra, I have one myself, but I 100% preferred the most vicious concept art we were shown prior to the reveal.

Counterpoint: male roes vs male au ra. (not as drastic, but still au ra has double the active characters)
Hrothgar were implemented specifically because some design niches were overfilled and they wanted to add diversity to the player character options. It would seem... like yet another giant slap in the face to the female character players if we got "your diversity doesn't matter" again for a second (third) time.

Don't really think you can compare the male race spread to the females. Roebros are actually decently represented because the spread is more even. Sure, they are 1/4 the size of the Cat Boi pop ... but us Femroe are like 1/17th the size of the Cat Girl pop.
Plus Roebro pop vs Elezen pop would be the better comparison IMO seeing how Elezen where the only tall elegant skinny race until the Scaley Bois showed up to give a different, better proportioned and more unique option for that body type.

As for what they aimed for with the Hrothgar, something Yoshi said stood out to me. He said that they wanted to make a race that played on the powerful, laser focused on battle look. They chose to make the males this way but it's not the only way to convey the idea of strength and violence/ aggression. The female wouldn't have to be hulking and hunched over to look powerful and violent.

That doesn't really solve the problem yoshi p was describing when he said they introduced hrothgar to fill in missing archetypes. If the males were missing a violent and aggressive looking race, the females are ABSOLUTELY missing it, and the female hrothgar would be the perfect way to fill that in. =.=

Oh I most diff agree. This is why He said Hrothgar were decided on first and the choice was between Female Hrothgar and Viera. The Hrothgar ADD something to the line up, Viera don't. This is coming from someone who was a rabid supporter of the Rabbit Girls and will play one ... they add nothing but a 3rd chance to make a popular tall female race and please fans. But that alone is something at least seeing how much they dropped the ball on Elezen and Femroe.

Just pointing out that if they did make female Hrothgar they can make them look powerful and "laser focused on battle" without making them Femroe tall-n-beefy, hunched over women. To me it's clear that a large factor in making an appealing female PC in this game is the successful execution of popular archetypes ... which can come through in movement and poses and emotes more so than just the shape.

As for the topic, I do actually think they would use some more female leaning animals for heads.

turn out to be Kitsune and one of the player options you get can be 1 or 2 tails?

(You know, should they ever add them )

I doubt they will ever add them unfortunately. According to the letter from the dev it's not a matter of money or people being thrown at the problem it's that the codeing requires way too many modifications to continue to add additional races. He went on to continue to say that he doubts there will ever be another race ever added in the game in the future. Because of the fact that each race has to have every single piece of gear in the game be able to fit them correctly and modified to their frame type that is what required too much work on the developers end. I do completely agree I would like to see it added though.

I doubt it will happen again. Making a second female Miqo'te (or two new clans, rather) would be really dumb.

This gives me a queen like look that's femenine yet bestial, and probably a viable option for SE


This approach is, yet femenine, a lot more bestial and bulky. Yet again another viable option they could go for


Finally here we have a full on betial race (which I'd personally prefer) and that's another option that's viable for SE.
Which is your favourite?

Inb4 Female Hrothgar can't happen because ethical reasons due to the potential for FFXIV to be known as the "Yiffing simulator"

More seriously...

I kinda hope that if they do add FemRonso that they do look similar to female versions of what we see from the current Males. With bestial faces and muscular bodies (Since, in the animal kingdom there are plenty of times where Females are the Hunters of the species even if the lazyass males are larger and stronger...)

[Jandor]

As long as they're ripped and bestial, I'm down for whatever really.

As long at the have fur all over and don't look like girls with fur but instead anthropomorphic beasts I'm good.

Don't half ass the femHrothgars SE go all in.

I will literally cry if the one chance we have at proper bestial women turns into another 'uwu' fest.

Prepare to be disappointed.

"Hailing from the distant shores of Ilsabard, the Hrothgar are a burly people of lionlike appearance--or the males are, at least."

[Duskane]

I wanted a birdman race like they had in shining force.

id prefer somthing like the rito from botw not those weird ones from WW that have those sock feet
why they went with bigger cats(and one wolf face) when the games population is primarily smaller cats who knows
