Final Fantasy XIV: Dawnwalker Patch Notes: Miscellaneous Playable Content

Yesterday Creative Studio III published the complete patch notes for Dawntrail on The Lodestone. I thought I would try to cover the patch notes similar to what I have done for the last few EVE Online expansions. I have to put in similar because I do have a real life job and CCP drops their patch notes on Fridays so I have the weekend to work on them. 

Four days until the official launch of Dawntrail

This sixth post in the series will cover information the developers labeled miscellaneous playable content.

Female Hrothgar - Players can now select female Hrothgar when creating new characters, editing a character's appearance using Fantasia, or hiring a retainer. Female Hrothgars do not need to be unlocked via reaching a certain point in the MSQ.
