New things from German interview with yoshida

[SturmChurro]

That's the real pain for me as someone who would normally play an elf in any MMO that has them on offer. I'd love to have something like Hilda. Clearly elvish yet a lot less jarring than the Elezen and their strange, off putting (to me) proportions.

I typically play elves as well. That and humans. I've actually always preferred midlander in this game, but I don't like their run animation. A custom player elezen/hyur really would have been nice.. I assume they'd have been way easier to implement and maintain than viera.

As an aside, hrothgar would have probably still been added regardless, as they fill that 'beast race' niche, but perhaps if it would have been a mixed race instead of viera, more resources would have been freed to do them justice. Yes, I admit to being biased. I would have also always preferred to have an elezen/hyur Hilda race. Probably even over a more properly done viera. Pretty sure I've stated so before as well.
