Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[ejunniim]

Two days now! Gotta save some energy, my friends, and forge ahead!!

Not sure how long this one will remain open, but I’d like to take this moment to say that I’m happy to be part of our community. It's an honor to discuss, cheer, get excited and make noise with all of you.
Your art, discoveries, theories and stories have inspired me personally, other players and, I'm sure, the developers themselves many times.

Tis' very bit left before our new journey begins. Have a great travel, all of us

Personally, I'm extremely excited, but want to leave a reminder of a few things:

A new bottle of free Fantasia awaits you in Ul'dah city-state, and after taking a sip, you will have an hour of IN-GAME time to change as many times as you feel necessary; this is a positive change, especially considering the queues in the first days after release.

Don't forget about retainers: you'll have the opportunity to hire a hrothgal immediately after Early Access starts, and make sure everything looks as it should. Personally, I'm interested in what kind of characters they will have.

And, of course, about Early Access: remember - if you are not a PS or xbox player, you will need two keys: for EA and for the release itself. If you pre-ordered, you already have the first code, and the second one will be sent out soon. A button with an input field will appear on Mog Station in time!

I would like to say that even though the Fantasia will have a 1h ingame time of usage, using it within the first couple of days might not be most optimal considering that we'll most likely see hour(s) long queues as usual with an expansion release/early access.
Even if it only counts ingame time one would have to spend hour(s) to get back in every time one wants to make a change to the character.
So maybe it'll be better to save it for when the queues has settled down a little.

As a console player with an ancient PC, can't wait to actually get to play with the character creator and try it out.

I'd like to take a moment here to express my gratitude to everybody who has fought hard to see female hrothgar added to the game. I wasn't playing the game at the time male hrothgar were announced and so I simply showed my disdain for the lack of female hrothgar by refusing to even play the game. It never even occurred to me that asking about it incessantly on the forums could make SE change their minds. So THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who kept nagging, it's thanks to you that I can have my dream character :') and so so sorry I didn't do anything to help

And of course thanks to SE for making the female hrothgar the gorgeous and stunning lion queens that they are!!! I was way too worried they'd turn out to be miqo 2.0, but you have pleasantly surprised me. I can't even express with words how happy I am!!! <3

100% agreeing with TheCat and ejunniim! When I joined during 5.1 or so and saw the lack of Hrothgals, the idea of Hrothgals coming into existance was more of a vague speculation based on "well, they added another gender for the older races as well... eventually". After playing five levels with a Hrothguy, I decided to restart as Miqo'te and keeping the ARR Fantasia close for the unlikely day far in the future we might get our ronso queens after all. It still feels unreal this is actually going to happen in two days! (Although not with my main, I love her too much by now, but that's what alts are for. )

Without all the people in this and other threads, on social media, on fan fests and wherever else the demand for our queens was communicated, it would still be a distant dream. And I'd like to hope all the fan made concept art is part of what prevented us from getting fem Miqo'te 2.0 instead of the badass power ladies we'll see soon. Thank you very much from the botton of my lion adoring heart!

And also thanks for the nice respectful and creative mood in here and the "Show your Hrothgar" thread. It was and is a beacon of hope and excitement, especially now with all the doomposting around us.

Popped my fantasia I had collecting dust before maintenance and logged out in an inn. I am READY. Soon, I will be reborn. Currently in my hrothgal chrysalis.

[SnowVix]

i have to do the quest, unfortunately, so i'll be a bit delayed on my joining. (yeah, i probably could afford to fit the fantasia into my budget, but why do that when we're getting a free one?)

[ejunniim]

Aaand preload is already available in the launcher!! \o/

It's look and User Agreement have been updated. Maintenance continues, but game files can already be downloaded! <3

This right here brings a lot of joy to me personally! I fought for this, yes, but I always put out that there are many others interested in our lion queens who don't play the game right now, because none of the offered roster appeals to them!
So THANK YOU for that. And now we can all rest and enjoy these amazing queens!
