I am very happy to see Hrothgar made it in game. It is the very first playable beast-like race, a race that's new and unique. I am already considering a fantasia depending on how many feminine glamour items I have in regular use and if I am willing to give them up, and what the animations are going to be like. My excitement for male Viera was very low in comparison so between those two options I am pleased with what we got.

That said, is it really that difficult to add two full races at the same time? Considering how many people always look forward to new races it doesn't seem worth it to cut corners in this matter. There are much more pointless things added to the game in every expansion. Could've left out BLU, for example.
