I want to let my Hrothgar wear a hat

Been nice if they made all mogstation glamour's that we paid for. There head pieces show up.

...Or I am forgetting some key details which said they would have the old head gears work eventually.

Pretty sure you are wrong there. Fairly certain they said that even though on release of hroth/viera wont have access to headgear, they will work as hard as they can to implement it as soon as they can, just be patient. But, the devs surprised yoshi by getting some headgears working before launch. At no point did they say that they weren't originally going to give hroth/viera headgears due to just not haveing time to add. You can go back and look at the stream where he says they will add them in time, just be patient

To quote from this interview-translation (https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...with_yoship/):

Q: With the two new races' unique heads, how will their headgear work?

A: It won't be displayed, because those face parts wouldn't work in FFXIV's system if headgear were involved. Even Viera ears would've had to be moved down to where Miqo'te ears are. It would've been meaningless if you couldn't go all-out creating characters from these new races, so we decided that helmets wouldn't be necessary. You can equip them, but they won't be displayed. However, things that replace the head are OK, like the snowman head, fat chocobo head, etc. No glasses. Basically, the default is that it won't be shown, and only things that replace the head are ok. We'll make more things compatible over time, bit by bit, but they won't be compatible at launch.

It sounds to me like they do have plans to add more things to be wearable by Viera and Hrothgar, but anyone who expected this to be done by either 5.1 or expected alle the new headgear to be available was fooling themself. So we might see the odd thing being made available here and there (probably whenever they had some time at their hands?) but its not a promise that they'll ever get all the headgear nor that it will be made available by a specific date.

as much as people complain that the many glamor request or hair style request don't get noticed as much as some others doesn't mean they dont care
they have proved time and time again they do care and want people to enjoy themselves in this game

It would be also nice if the gear that does work properly matched the eyes. It's often too low and the model too small.

They should have spent more time making the faces / ears / hair standartized before releasing the races to allow easier head gear implementation.

I just want them to at least do the af gear and design all new sets with the new races in mind. Judging from the new dungeon armor preview without any hrothgar or viera (that’s a roe on the right ) I doubt they will have wearable hats from that either. It’s disappointing:/

I hope they let us use some new Head Stuff right now at 5.1 Patch, i want to use at least my "Chromite Helm of Fending" from my old Glamour when i was a Hyur. My glamour without it is ugly and i'm using another one instead :'(

I have a very specific aesthetic for my main glamour piece and not being able to achieve it on hrothgar is what made me drop it after I completed the msq

I hate headgear and always keep it hidden.

Yall Hrothgars look cool. Why would you want a hat/helm to ruin it?
