Viera / Hrothgar subscription boycott. I wish I was joking.

My six month sub is finally up in 10 days. I'll be unsubbing for at least a month. I told myself I wouldn't let auto-demolish shackle me but man... sunk cost fallacy got hands.

They don't care about us. They don't care about their on integrity or quality of work. They deserve a shitty quarter and more.

Priorities... and by priorities I mean the devs implementing a means of reducing the Viera's appeal and popularity (by giving everyone butt pads!) so they have much less "additional race" requests to worry about.

Half of this game's total lifespan is them procrastinating and or diluting Viera/Hrothgar content. Shameless

Personally I'm not big on hats either, but I still hope for those who want them that they will get added. Also saying you're *happy* we don't even get the option seems a bit silly to me.

Either way the real issue I have with female hrothgar - apart from the horrendous gear scaling issue, which thankfully they started working on - is the blatant lack of hairstyles. We were promised more hairs to make up for other shortcomings, yet female hrothgar released with effectively 2 racial hairs (not counting the ever so slightly different version for each style), because the hairstyles are LOCKED TO THE FACES. Just ... why???

The fact that they didn’t even make the new gear work is just lazy

Honestly hrothgar have a really limited character creator. I don't know why the hairstyles are locked to the faces, and you would think that'd be something they worked on first and then have resolved by the time female hrothgar came out

I think it'd be nice if they did add unique hairstyles to the races that can't wear hats to make up for it
It'd be pretty cool to see more manes and wild hair, or other things
and for all character creators I wish that they would make certain traits universal, like the horns so more characters could resemble ronso if they wanted to

If I were to make one, I'd want to have hair like Magnus from Kid Icarus Uprising which funnily enough looks like a really jacked warrior of light

i think the worst part is the NPC male hrothgar do use hair from the other faces you can see them at Gangos

That I agree with, and maybe some more ways of putting colors and the likes would be nice as well, but we are NOT a hat wearing race neither is viera, it would be a nuisance for our ears for the most part.

A lot of people myself included wouldn't even mind them not backdating everything, just make new gear we can wear.

It doesn't even need to be edited much, most of the time you just click the metadata to show the hat on Viera and Hroth and bam, it's done.

Ivalice Viera wore hats. Just because you don't wear hats doesn't mean it's racially against the lore.

I don't particularly care about hats, however saying it's lore accurate to not have them is silly
You could argue this is from a different game, and that's fair, but where in ff14 does it state that
