Well, considering they sat on giving hrothgar literally anything for 2.5 years, we know we can't take him at his word sheesh god

I, being dejectedly cynical after 6.1 and Yoship giving us 7 different handwritten lodestone letters about a housing error but jack about hrothgar and our trash update, fully expect female hrothgar to be the blue miqote with a cat nose from the shb artbook. That was not a kemono face thats literally the default Keeper with a catnose mod

Please GOD prove me wrong in 6.2 Yoshi PLEASE

Here's the thing. We did get a reply from Yoshida, which was later parroted by a community representative. An answer which was as unsatisfactory as it was untrue. If not "untrue", then less so "false" but more "we have an idea of what the process is, and it really isn't hard, just complicated. If complicated, then please make up time and organize yourselves better. You clearly didn't do that."

I wish we'd gotten what Housing did. I wish Yoshida had gotten that motivated to write something about us as he did on BLM. Because Housing was an unfortunate disastrous situation that had a simple answer: they borked the code.

Nothing about this situation is simple.

I want them to address it in 6.2 as well. I want them to acknowledge their fans aren't idiots, that there was an uproar through the whole playerbase (not just Hrothgars)... but precedent says otherwise.

If they want feedback from us, then they have it: kkron_m and Soft__Bunbun have solid designs. A LOT of people voiced their support for this, particularly people who would play femgars (exceptions do exist, but they seem to be low in numbers). Those are the designs most consistently presented and approved by the playerbase. Even if it's hard, an approximation is acceptable.
And we want male Hrothgar to be taken seriously. For them to reconsider what they're doing, because if they decide on leaving these races for last on the fixing list, they're only going to create more and more things that they need to fix in the long run. That's dumb. We understand why, but just because we get it, it doesn't make it okay. It doesn't make it smart.

But I'm fully expecting Square to play dumb yet again, handwave it all away and just keep doing the same old bull.



...that said. I know the Bozja mural exists. It's NOT gospel, so please keep that in mind. We went over this in the hairstyles thread. It's a caricature. But even if it isn't, kkron's art does look like a realistic version of that mural art º3º but das' jus me.
