in reply to @catventuring's post:
on one hand the bar is low enough that a friend stating "well, at least we know it's probably not another au ra situation" does placate me a bit. screenshots of the legs adjacent to other races does make them solidly tall! plus they do have that fur texture, even if a proper coat isn't present on them currently.
on the other hand, those legs could absolutely be thicker
that they're like, white human skin colored is an odd choice but a bizarre kind of expected (see: blacksad, little tail bronx's lady characters, gadget, lola rabbit, etc) so i'm not going to fuss over that. you can make helion men that color too so like whatever.
i need them to have cat faces though, they need to have cat faces though!!!! I'M GOING TO BE IN JAPAN I WILL BEELINE TO SQEX HQ AND TAKE OUT THE DEV TEAM MYSELF
that there's a fur texture over the "skin" is a good sign!! i'm optimistic!!!! but they're on thin fucking ice!!!!!!!!!!
anytime i think about this i'm torn between feelings of
"of course they'll have cat faces surely they wouldn't make catfolk ladies without them"
and
"oh god but what if they fuck it up though"
what if they fuck it up though
I'm decently optimistic, but it's the unknown details that worry me... au ra ladies may have the same major options as the men to pick from on creation, but it's the little unadjustable details that frustrate me, after all. (Overall height, skin tone options, the lack of blue tongues/dark sclera...)
They're conspicuously missing a tail :( That feels like something they'd want to add even if they did go Mi'qo 2.0, which puzzles me. Maybe they didn't want to make it that obvious?
My guess for femhroth based on this is "cat heads, but with finer fur, taller height, and slimmer physique than male Hrothgar"
There's apparently bones for a tail (and other features) according to dataminers! So the current thought is that the devs didn't want it to be too obvious when this model was inevitably dug up, yeah.
It does look they'll be leaning into the general lady ronso look. I was hoping they'd push the silhouette a little more since this was stated to be the last racial addition (and the state of female body type variation is dire), but... again, the bar is low enough that what we have seen so far is at least well above my worst fears lmao.
