IIRC they mentioned that fem hroth are still in concrete plans, but gave no sorts of ETA.

I as well as many friends have been much more interested in Hrothgar and would much rather they released both Male and Female Hrothgar at the same time and released Female and Male Viera later. I feel like Viera was just added to the game as fan service more than anything else. Hrothgar have a much bigger appeal to me than Viera ever did.

They didnt even have plans for other genders when they originally did it and were pretty much doing it as last new races they were gonna add. I'd honestly like to think that femHroth taking so long is a positive, as I'd like them to not be just miqo'te with cat face or femRoe with cat face, but actually something closer to current Hrothgar, and them taking so much time to make gives me hope they will be more unique relative to existing races than viera were. In the end, only reason Male Viera and Female Hrothgar are even being made is giant demand from community, but I imagine on several levels, male bunnies were just easier than female lions; while having generally higher demand. As long as plans for femhroth aren't scrapped entirely, I am mildly okay with waiting.

Don't quote this anywhere because I can't find the source atm but I swear I read somewhere that when they were planning on adding the last race in Shadowbringers they ran into a problem. The team really wanted to add in a more beastly race since they felt such an option was lacking at the time but they knew that players really wanted Viera. Hence the compromise we got of one gender of each race to try to please everyone which didn't work since people immediately protested the idea of only getting half of each race.

I really hope we get Female Hrothgar in 7.0, but I am scared... I really do not want to wait for 8.0 or longer...

They are 100% coming in 7.0

It's the Letter from the Producer LXII.

Aaah, thank you. I kept looking for news articles thinking I saw it on one and completely forgot past Letters.

Sorry for the vent, but I need it, feel free to skip it.

Would really appreciate some news about Female Hrothgar this year. My hopes are so low that they will be revealed. Their radio silence makes me nervous that they will push it for 8.0 or later. They are already in the works so I don't get the lack of communication unless they can safely rely on the fact that now that the bun boys are out, we are in minority and can be categorised as not worth to deal with since there are so few of us, they could safely ignore us with little to no backlash. I am deeply disheartened.

I do want to believe that there is some good news and that we need to be patient, but I have been patient for more than 3 years. I have been patient even before SHB was out! That one day with enough patience I will get the chance to play as my favourite race in the FF universe, the Ronso. I loved the female Ronso of FFX and always wanted to play as one, in that game we can't, but in FFXIV we might.

We are so far removed from the Endwaler's launch that the teams "2 designs that they are still deciding between" (from the Live Letter from January last year). At this point, there should be at least 1 finalised concept art, and I would do anything to get to see it. Even if it's not what I would like them to be, it would be too late to change anyway. I don't want to have to wait another year for this, get my hopes up, just to end up disappointed. This "hype" that I am building for them for myself is not good. Cause I might get disappointed by a 7/10 when I was imagining a 9/10.


Anyway, just did a fan art of a Beastmaster female Hrothgar wielding a sword-whip. Hope you will enjoy it!
