Fem hroth rigging problems?

Honestly they should have never released this race if this was the best they could've done. Or at least pushed it back until they're able to get everything in order. The fact that they STILL haven't fixed the hat issue with the other races is just ridiculous.

Hroth shares assets with Roe, that much is obvious. Been calling them Roe with fur glued on since day one.
It's also the least played race by a long shot. That's probably one of the reasons why Fem Hroths are late by a whole expansion.
Unfortunately, devoting the FF14 team's ever-dwindling resources to fix a problem that only effects a dozen or so people in a world of multiple millions doesn't make sense from a budgeting standpoint.
Low effort for low demand, if you will.

Though, I do agree the hat problem is stupid given the proliferation of Vieras.

Kind of, male hrothgar share body models with male roegadyn which is quite obvious.
Female hrothgar on the other hand share body models with every other race's female characters besides Lalafell.

This is also what leads to the weird scaling on armor for femhroth, almost every piece of armor is made for female midlander and then scaled through the unique racial skeleton, with femhroth they just clearly hit the limit of skeleton scaling to the point where it starts looking goofy.

So, to dial it back for a moment, why release them in the first place then? Is it not disingenuous to release a half-assed race and then refuse to bring them to a polished state akin to the other playable races because "they're the least played race"? The statistics for hrothgar and viera are despite their issues. If they were complete their numbers would be much higher.
