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 :|

Just realized I could answer my own question if I just logged in lolWe 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?).

There he is, his name is Bragi. Hes in the Market area of The Crystarium and I swear he had 1 voice acted line.
Hmm...Im not even sure if Magnus would have taken her in, or even if Ryne would want to be taken care of anymore. Id imagine working with the Warriors of Darkness she'd probably be taken care of by everyone while giving back in some way. That or run off and somehow take care of herself with Gaia...
But it is depressing, sure only 1 Male Viera got any character in EW, but thats still 100% more then any present Hrothgar in EW.
From what I remember Y'shtola says Runars name once or twice, but it's been a while since I played Shadowbringers, so I am not sure when exactly it was. Maybe the scene where he picked her up quite literally?
Yeah. She says it in Shadowbringers. I'm talking about Endwalker. She mentions him, but she never says his name. Not even in 6.1.
"I'm here on Sharlayan, gonna see what they know about travelling through worlds freely. I have a promise to keep with someone.
Oh, Thavnair has intel on passageways to other worlds? I must know about this, someone is waiting for me, and they're really important."
Ah okay, I thought you ment the game in general. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I never really got the sense that Magnus is Ryne's '' father '' or caretaker.
Just moreso a nice dude that offered to help if needed.
Maybe I am misremembering it tho but I don't think anyone was specifically mentioned as having adopted her so to speak.
She's probably just kinda taken care of by the people in the Crystarium in general and gets whatever she needs.
Wouldn't surprise me if Lyna is the most involved, Ryne is a fighter too might even be serving with the guard and helping them out.
You've got my support.
I started playing FFXIV when Shadowbringers was still fresh out of the oven. First I was a Lala, went Viera for awhile, and then finally decided on Hrothgar. Originally I had made a Hroth as an alt to replay ARR when it had it's rework, and in doing so I fell in love with the race. They're this great mix of goofy, adorable, and badass. Sure, the hat limitations bothered me a little (and the fact that the wearable headpieces hover instead of sit properly), but SE assured they were working on fixes and we just had to be patient. And so I waited only to be horrendously disappointed that all they could manage to make time for was deleting our ears and giving us the bare minimum.
I tried to cope for awhile with my new hair with one of the few head gears that emulate ears, but it got old really fast. Now I'm just mad. I love my Hroth and will continue to play as one regardless, but not everyone has my patience. Hrothgar (and Viera!) players deserve to have the same utility as everyone else, period. The main story of FFXIV has finished and while we're still on the path to the next expansion + getting everything else promised delivered for Endwalker (Island Sanctuary, for example), now is the time to right your wrongs and actually deliver the fixes we need and deserve.
Where is the female, that is all I am saying....
