Hrothgar Feedback Thread

[Midareyukki]

Know something else? Would be nice to get a couple more Voice acted Hrothgar.
We got like, 2? And I think there was one in The Crystarium that got like 1 line. Im not remembering exactly.

We got Runar and Magnus for sure. I can't remember if there's a Ronso that's voice acted just before we leave the Crystarium to go to the Tempest (that may be the one you're referring to?).

Apart from that, none at all. In fact, no Hrothgar whatsoever were voiced in all of Endwalker. Not a single one. Yet we see Rostik and a couple in the background in the cutscenes leading into Garlemald, but they don't speak. Even when Thancred is with them, they play virtually no role and have no lines.

To add insult to injury, the one Ronso to ever be relevant to the MSQ goes by without having his name mentioned. Not even by the one person who gives a damn about him. Y'shtola always says he's her motivation... but she never states his name. She just assumes everyone's in on it. And sure, the players may be, but when she says it to complete strangers, it gets kind of weird. Y'shtola, sweetie, you've said it about five times now. JUST SAY HIS NAME. It's not even hard, it's two syllables: RUNAR.

Same for Ryne, though that I can forgive. Isn't Magnus meant to be her father figure now? Or at least her caretaker. Yet at no point does she mention him; she mentions Gaia just fine, but the one dude with a massive depression and a drinking problem that we snapped out of and entrusted a minor to? Not a word about him.

I stated this in my opening posts, idk if they were noticeable among all the stuff I said... But I personally do think it's an issue. What's up with this silence around Hrothgar? Almost like the MSQ is too scared to acknowledge we're there, just vaguely waving our hand at us in minimal recognition :|
