FOR THE LOVE OF HROTHGAR

[Omi_Hugbringer]

I'm starting a special thread to show our love for the Hrothgar race and to tell the devs more about what changes we want!

I chose Hrothgar as my race because I'm a HUGE fan of FFX and love the Ronso race. And when I saw they were gonna be playable in FFXIV I was immediately sold!

The community has been amazing, too, and I'm never bored!

I want more people to enjoy this amazing race, so I urge the devs to give us more customization to our hair and faces, and PLEASE give our ears back!!!! XD


Now it's everyone else's turn!
Show us your pics of your Hroth and what you love about the race, as well as any changes and concerns you have!

Hrothgar is the only race I've ever played on FF14. I started playing 2 years ago, made my first character a Hrothgar, and haven't regretted it. All the fellow cats I've met have been such sweethearts and they make this game more than just a game to me. I love that the devs are finally trying to give us some new styles, even if the first batch kinda fell flat. I have confidence they'll be able to show us the love that a dedicated group of players deserves! <3

When I heard about new hairstyles I first thought they were gonna be unique to Hrothgars to work with their unique heads.
So if I had to say antyhing it's that future Hrothgar hairstyles should be tailored for Hrothgars so they don't lose any more ears.

Other then that, find a way so Hrothgars don't have to use a Fantasia every time they want to change hairstyle.
Altho I haven't tried it since the update so not sure if they made that change or not yet.
But haven't heard anything so I guess it's still a thing.

And for all races with a tail, try and make outfits that doesn't clip with the tails so much.
Cloaks especially.

I'll never race change, no matter how much they try to make this race the worst in the game.

Heres my man!~

I love Hrothgar because they're just so cool amd unique. In a game full of humans with 'animal features', having a genuine Beast-like race is such a breath of fresh air.

I live how expressive they are, especially for how large they are, you sorta first expect them to be quite stoic and not as 'emotive' as they are in game.

I started off as a Miqo and stopped playing for a while, as I lost interest, but after a few friends said that FFXIV is getting a new 'beast-like' race, I had to give it another go. And I think because I fell in love with my character, it helped me fall in love with the game itself.

I don't think I'd ever change from Hrothgar permanently. I love them too much.

As for concerns, it's just the hairstyle issues that are the main issue. The only other one is perhaps just wishing they were a little more 'upright' in their normal stance and run/walk, but not as stiff as M/Roe. I really like how Hrothgar bounce a little more in their running animation.

Quite a few people probably will complain about us "whining" about the hair, but when we've gotten used to how high quality SE makes most things in this game despite existing limits, it's truly disappointing to see this new hair that looks so awful.

it's not even the ears (though that's a big part) unlike all other hair I know of it floats above the scalp, not properly connecting like it should, and the 2B hair from the side is truly cursed.

I won't be swapping off of catman anytime soon, but I also won't be using this hair, and would prefer the dev team make sure whatever new content is in line with the quality of the rest of the game instead of what we just received.

And for the record, the rest of the content this patch was excellent
