I mistook something from an ingame race with something horrible from our real world.

Wyverians

Wyverians (Japanese 竜人族) are a race found throughout the Monster Hunter series. Wyverians superficially resemble humans, but they have several traits that suggest a wyvern ancestry. They have pointed ears, four-fingered hands, and an increased lifespan. Some Wyverians can live for hundreds of...

it's not footbinding, they have digitigrade feet because they're not humans

Hinoa is a wyverian. They have weird chicken feet, elf ears, and three fingers.

Also you aight OP? You definitely went ham on a Friday about a fantasy action-RPG game. That's bizarre for Era standard on average.

They also live for hundreds of years and usually end up looking like gnomes in their senior years.

Honestly it's pretty fascinating that there's this whole fantasy race in this series that are not playable in any way. Wyverians can be hunters too.

There's so many horrible valid things to be concerned about right now and you pick this one?

Ok, wow.

As someone who only played MH: World for a bit i didn't new about the feet of this ingame race. The pictures i can find online are quite mixed tbh. Some from characters with chicken feet, others are using unusual shoes but almost none of them stand on them like on hooves like in this game.

But that's my fault then.

I'll pm a mod for closure.

My understanding is that Wyverians are more frail than the human hunters who are functionally super heroes in their strength and durability lol

OP thought a bunch of people got together and decided "Hey you know what we should include in this game? Foot binding."

I definitely didn't need to be reminded of foot binding today while browsing gaming.
