Final Fantasy XIV players are speculating about a potential new playable race after dissecting a pair of enigmatic legs in the game's latest patch (6.5). The legs, featured in the ending cutscene, display unique characteristics such as abundant hair, distinctive running and jumping animations and a missing tail, replaced by a hole. Moreover, the model exhibits facial bones labeled as whiskers and may even have movable ears and flowers.
Leading theories suggest the introduction of female Hrothgar, a race resembling humanoid lions, previously exclusive to males. The infrequent appearance of female Hrothgar in the game's lore may change with this speculated addition.
The game's producer and director, Naoki Yoshida, hinted at the arrival of two new DPS Jobs in the upcoming Dawntrail expansion, sparking further anticipation among fans.
For concrete answers, players are looking forward to the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest in London, just a couple of weeks away, where more details about the new Jobs and the mysterious legs may be unveiled.
