I wish they would at least allow Hroth to change between the 2 variations of the face they pick through the aesthetician. Having to use a fantasia in order to do that is stupid.

If everybody but Hroth and Viera got new hairstyles this patch, I think it'd cross over from disappointing to annoying. For me, at least. I mean I'm fine waiting for a bit, I know what I signed up for and I do love these races, but somebody earlier hit the nail on the head - they are unfinished. Period.

At the very least, brand new hairstyles added should take the new races into account too.

While i understand the reasoning a bit more with Hrothgar the Viera do not have a different head shape. They have the same heads as Elezen/highlander/Roe and the only different with the ear placements to Miqote are there a touch wider both lenght ways and sideways.

As we can see from modders it is not much more effort for them to adjust hairstyles for Viera. So the lack of hairstyles for Viera is stupid. Espically as the down styles are ugly as sin. Like have you seen the bottom of it at the back?

I really want a down hairstyle for my wedding but so far theres not much choice. Its annoying I have hairestyles i brought with money and gil I can't use for no real reason.

This needs to be fixed

I am sorry the Hrothgard got the raw end of the stick.

Nobody forced or even asked Square to design races that wouldn't fit with the normal head modeling. Hrothgar especially are a disaster on hair since it's tied to their facial structure. Just ask the Au'ra about that one after SE was all about Au'ra horns being so customizable.

It's been a while since I saw it.... but I recall an image where someone removed the hair from a Viera, and the base of the ears are not connected to the head, which might make translating certain hairstyles difficult. Though they managed to figure out how to make them all sit on miquotes, so.... <shrug>

Hrothgar really need to just be made to be able to use the aesthetician to change their hair. I'm not sure if they were banking on players who picked that race not caring as much about their hair? But I know if it were me, and I bought a fantasia only to see the hair I picked then clipped through all my clothes (which at least a few of the hrothgar styles do) and I had no means of changing it without paying more real world money, I'd be pretty angry. So I really hope that they fix both the lack of options for hrothgar and the inability to change it post fantasia...

Also I'm hoping that warrior of light hairstyle is made available for all the races. Do we have any indication on how its unlocked at this point?

Jeez, man, why is my hair tied to my face to begin with? Where was the logic in that decision? Seriously? I can't change my hair unless I fantasia? Even then, were the option available I would have access to one (1) single other hair style. Viera at least have a decent dozen to work with.

I guess thats arguable - I personally dont find 7 hairstyles and then the same hairstyle again just with bangs a "decent dozen".

As I said the modding community have had zero issue with Viera ears so i would like to think the actual game team shouldn't either.

I'm pretty sure the limited hairstyles of the viera are related to the hrothgar. And viera won't see new hairstyles separately from hrothgar.

my guesses in order i think it will be located;
1. ShB fates (new items are being added)
2. Gold Saucer
3. Pixie beast tribe

reasons being it has no connection with Nier seems to be coming with release of 5.1 not delayed so rules out Blu/ultimate/Hildy

As for the thread topic I think they should've focused on everything released with 5.0 and then worked backwards as time allows it, anything released for 5.X content should be useable by every race (except starting racial gear), the fact current tomestone/raid/crysterium gear doesn't work for them is bad.
