Any FFXIV race can yield an amazing-looking character if you get creative with the editor. However, people play a certain race not just because of its looks, but the movement and running animations. That is what killed Elezen and Roegadyn on arrival. And so far, what we've seen of these animations for Hrothgar is terrible. They are hunched forward and just move plain weird.

For that reason, I'm almost certain that all these Hrothgar 'enthusiasts' will return to their catboys very soon after Shadowbringers is released, and they are reminded of why they didn't go Roe in the first place.
