Gender limitations have been a stumbling block for FFXIV's races, beginning with Viera and extending to the big cat-folk, Hrothgar. With Viera remedied, only Hrothgar remains, and it would appear that female Hrothgar might just be arriving this summer alongside Dawntrail. Here's everything we know so far!

Unlike the Viera, who toted in-lore reasons for the delayed arrival of male models, the absence of female Hrothgar remains something of a mystery at this time. Perhaps the newest character key to the Main Story Quest (pictured below) will offer some manner of explanation.

Dawntrail brings us to Tuliyollal, where a political vacuum must be filled by a new continental leader. That's where we come in to offer assistance, invited along by the mysterious female Hrothgar seen in the Dawntrail teaser.

The female Hrothgar appear much more cat-like as opposed to their tiger-like male counterparts. If the images in the trailer are to be trusted, then hairstyle options may include red and blue braiding, as well as tribal-style feathers.
