Hey Viera and Hrothgar players!

Repeating what's been said mostly but I'm actually comfortable where I am - even as a Midlander I only changed my hair a grand total of once (and that was after the hair from the Ivalice raids came out, I'd been looking for a ponytail I liked on him for ages). But I do agree that in the future when more styles come out that I do object to needing a Fantasia to change one's hairstyle; while I've no real intention of doing so, I feel for those who like to change styles on a regular basis. Hats are the same way for me - I rarely turned on my headgear (save for my DRK, because he had to be as edge-lordy as possible in his PVP lynxliege set), but again there are those who like their various hats. Me? I'm quite content with experimenting with different glasses and shades on my Hrothgar. So yeah, I think my final opinion is "I'm fine, but I do hope they expand options for those who want more."

As for expressiveness, I think that Hrothgar are probably the best at it by a long shot. Our emotes have so much energy to them, and they just make me smile. :3

Doesn't bother me at all

I'm quite happy with the hairstyle I have and I never really change hairstyles in any game anyway. That said, I definitely hope they figure out how to fix the issue with not being able to change them without using a Fantasia, because that's pretty ridiculous.

And Hrothgar are very expressive. I was surprised by how well the character artists and animators handled their expressions since a lot of games don't do expressive animal faces well.

Question just for the Hrothgar players! How facial expressions on your character, considering it’s just a cat face.

Hairstyles--
Its whatever, I guess MEH to answer the question. I at least got 1 I like. And YoshiP said they are working on making more that will be exclusive to them. So Im not sweatin here.

Expressions--
They are alot better then you would think. The Hrothgar face models despite being Beastal, and CATS for that matter, have alot more range then you'd expect.
They pretty clearly show emotion.

Im sure they will my man. Once they make more options, I know they will also work on giving the Hrothgar (and viera I guess) ways to get Haircuts/Change their Hair/Manes without spending $10 IRL.

I wanted to like Vieras but I can't get past the cover girl expressions they have. Which makes it double bad that I can't use the hairs I gotten with my miqo girl. So I tried Viera for an hour and went back to miqo. I need to have hats and other hairs. Tho this will never changed I DO wish Viera's emote animations were abit more expressive. WAY too reserved for me. But then again this is why I'm staying miqo. They look better in cutsences with emotion. imho

I can live with limited hairstyles as a Hrothgar but the need to fantasia to change it drives me insane right now. I wanted to try some hairstyles this weekend with some glams I have but unable to do so.

On the subject of expressions on Hrothgar, they're fantastic. It's like they bring more life to their smiles and frowns than other races.

I miss wearing some hats like the red mage chapeau. Other than that I don’t care.

I'm patient but I seriuosly hope we will get a few for 5.1. I hope we get not only racial styles but some of the paid for/earned in game styles.

I'm impatient, and the way it's been answered doesn't really satisfy me.
I've got a cash shop hair and an earned hair I really want access to. I can "live" with the hair i've got atm, but it's really not what I want. I really hope we don't have to wait too long.
Other than that i'm pretty happy with viera, and i'm honestly good with the emotes.
