We Have Enough Short Skinny Characters

[JunkhogMakison]

"Please make the Hrothgar Short and Skinny"
"The Roegadyn are to bulky and muscular"
"I wish the Hrothgar were similar to Mithra"
"Roegadyn is to big and meaty for everyone"

Ok...do the majority of you own mirrors? You all literally run around as short skin and bone pale as ghost avatars already. Nobody in the Roegadyn camp or the Hrothgar camp is calling for Fat Miqs or taller Lalas so...what gives?

Are we simply just not allowed to have big characters? Does everybody in this game have to fit to the typical generic stereotypical anime status quo of skinny, white, medium to small height, and have absolutely 0 imperfections including but not limited to muscles and fat?

The issue that I have with this mindset is that everyone just lacks imagination. Do we really want another Au Ra situation again? Au Ra's were the biggest letdowns due to fact that they are simply just Miqs with scales and pointy tales.

And I know what the purists are gonna say "well gameplay speaking giants obstruct blah blah blah" well you know what you got a freeform camera with a zoom in zoom out feature so how bout you actually use it for once instead of being zoomed in on your Miqs bottom like you are 95% of the time.

Let people who want giant races HAVE GIANT RACES. Dont just barge in on my and many others parades and be all like "Oh their to fat the muscles are ugly they to tall" cause quite frankly if we wanna play that game I can say the same thing to all the other races like the title of my post states.

Hear hear! Big beefy lion-boys are what was needed! Bring on the tall, rugged, handsome men!

The real problem is that they are using normal human feet, it really looks like a Roe with a new head on top, where the beast claws?

Beast claws are in the trailer and in a few other screenshots of Hrothgar, chances are they're a customization option. They aren't just a Roe with a lion head, they are just very tall and muscular, they have a much more realistic body-builder kind of shape, unlike Roes that just look like literal meat refrigerators. I don't understand why people keep saying they look like Roes.

Probably cause that’s the only beefy giant race to compare with. Regardless, we don’t even know what they will look like till benchmark.

They need to look like this:

Unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to reuse Roe armor, so they'd have to re-fit everything to the new body shape.

Invisible headpieces/glasses was one thing, but I'd trade the visibility of all footwear if it meant getting paws like that, just saying.

I think you're over blowing this. It was just *one* post.

If anything, there are *more* tall/muscular males than there are shorter ones. Roegadyns aren't the only ones that are massive. Please take a look at Male Au Ra, Elezen, and Highlanders. Roegadyns are just often assumed being the only ones because of their joke race stigma and quite monstrous proportions.

Even in the supposed "short" races group; Midlander Hyur, Miqote, and Lalafell, the former two are more average height than anything and really are only seen as short because of how they compare to the frankly speaking, giant like males mentioned above.

Did—... did you just make a counter thread to that thread about someone wanting to make a short thin Hrothgar?
