Thank god... I was so worried seeing the face of the character in the GCI trailer lmao. But at least some of these ladies have proper cat snouts!!
Rue
I do think they could be wider (as the main lady of the final art does seem to be), but honestly I'm pretty content that they didn't take the coward's route.
Ghost Scientist
snouts and actual muscle! better than I was expecting.
Ghost Scientist
still smaller than the males, but it's not as egregious as the au ra or simply miqo'te 2.0
Rue
Yeah!!
Rue
I'm laughing at the third one at the very end (to the right), who very much has a Cats (The Musical) face. But I guess that might be for the folks who did just want miqo'te 2.0.
Rue
Noting though... no fangs? No patterns? Maybe those aspects aren't ready to show off in a trailer though.
Rue
(I'm looking at their mouths and worrying fangs aren't in the stars, which would be a bummer! It would be the first inconsistency in character creation options between genders.)

We've got renders from the official Dawntrail site!
Rue
You can see some face markings that are toggleable, the helion also shows that the ladies will have ear tip options like the men. (Pointed here, round in the trailer.)

And the full artwork!
Rue
I did end up making a post of notes comparing all this.
Rue
They're obviously not done as of the trailer drop. (This is my gamedev experience talking, but also they full on swap models but keep the same palette at one point.)
Rue
(So that one face may not quite be fully ready to emote lmao.)

I have my nitpicks, but they're solidly above my worst fears...
dackquiri
oh phew

it’s been... so long...
the longer it took, the more i was concerned that it would be mega-questionable
dackquiri
chortled out loud at the Cats-face descriptor. (did you clarify “(The Musical)” to differentiate from the film or did you mean the film and you added it to differentiate it from the concept of cats?!)

it was a choice. (a jellicle choice.)
Rue
I meant the musical!! In the full render I'd lean more towards the film, but at the end of the trailer she's got a little cat nose at least lmao
Rue
But also yeah
Rue
the vibes amongst the hrothgal wanters up until trailer release was
Rue
anxiety
Rue
There's still some folks upset about them, but there's no pleasing everyone.
Rue
I'm surprised at comments saying they wish the ladies had longer snouts though...??
Rue
Because they seem on par with what you can do with the men.

Rue
The Helion / Lost split seems consistent so far...
Rue
- Helions: Warmer coat colors, round pupils, face markings.
- Lost: Cooler coat colors, slit pupils, no face markings.
Rue
(Though that's just the character creation structure. Lore-wise what determines a helion vs lost is whether or not the hrothgar is in service to a queen.)
Rue
Anyway sorry, we know what they look like now, my mania is going to be chewing on the walls until we can look at them in the benchmark lmfao.
Rue
I do think it's cool that the ladies' manes taper off into stripes, but at the same time I'm a little bummed that this means less area to apply a coat pattern to.

Rue
ough i missed the higher resolution screenshots on the site
Rue
it's very funny that the hrothgar as a whole have come back around to "hey 1.0 devs why did you shave off the bestial features from mithra and galka, we're putting them back in"
Rue
especially because the one on the far right there does look a lot like... a mithra
