The end of the Japan Fanfest keynote yielded a long-anticipated reveal for Dawntrail: the addition of female Hrothgar as a playable race. So, how did female Hrothgar turn out, and were they worth the wait?

It was five years ago in March 2019 when Viera and Hrothgar were announced as new playable races in Shadowbringers. This announcement drew a lot of criticism for one reason: both races were genderlocked. Only female Viera and male Hrothgar would be available at the drop of Shadowbringers.

Male Viera then made their debut as a playable race in Endwalker. Now after asking when this would be completed for years, we finally have our answer. Female Hrothgar are coming with Dawntrail. There was even one depicted in the Dawntrail trailer, and we’ll be able to meet her when patch 6.55 drops.
