Okay, so ... Modern Legend hairstyle

[DarkMasamune]

Its probably because they said Vieras and Hrothgars would only get exclusive new haircuts (basically hairstyles only for their race) and old ones/new ones wouldn't get adapted.

It really isn't a good excuse thought, they could have made it usable for Vieras at least.

[Allegor]

I somehow feel they're both treated as one race so don't really expect Viera to get anything util Hroths do and vice versa.

Should been a male only hair style looks awful on female characters.

I think it looks awful on male characters as well. At least my Midlander. It's fine from the side, but head on, it's just WAY too poofy.

Auri helmets were promised horn holes and adjustments.
But instead they clip right through like it's nothing, very few exceptions to this.

SE doesn't put a priority on things like this. They did away with racial concerns for the ARR launch. If this was still 1.0's design philosophy, we'd all have fitting attire and hairstyle options. ...and probably 40 ring slots.

I’ve noticed that they just seemed to have given up with designing anything for anything beyond baseline hyur. Back in 1.0 through ARR, miqos had tops that had tail holes and if there was a pouch on the back, it would be turned into two pouches on either side of the tail hole. I noticed that started to go away in HW and now for the most part, the tail just clips through everything. It looks really bad on the new Ishgard Restoration glam where your tail goes right through a pouch. In addition, a lot of newer ShB gear doesn’t even have the famous miqo ear condoms on hats, hoods, and helmets.

The weird thing is though, that the new dragoon AF has an armored tail if you’re a tailed race. So it seems like their design philosophy is a little inconsistent. I’m a huge fan of Ivalice and was looking forward to viera, but it’s very apparent that they don’t have the resources assigned right now to make it work and now they’re cutting corners everywhere else and that’s a shame.

At this point I think I would have rather have had them concentrate on the existing races then add these two half-baked ones.

Yeah, they don't even do stuff for tailed races, or specifically miqo'te - which is probably their most populous race male+female (I think male hyur may be the most popular for males). Tailed races together are probably played more than not. Probably best to expect nothing for viera, or very little.

Meh...looks awful on male characters, too.

I regret buying it. I just want to see more short and medium length hairstyles that aren't overly fancy.

This exactly (like I stated in another post about this hairstyle not being available for Viera/Hrothgar), it's sad how they just throw out halfbaked stuff, indeed since hw I think there's very limited 'new' gear released that accommodated tails, if any at all /shrug
It's sad indeed...

I think it looks super dumb on my friend's guy. Same. I wish they had a few (a lot) more western hairstyles for males. Shorter, and medium length.

Unfortunately males (at least male hyur) would need more quality faces, but that's another issue entirely.
