I know it's probably trickier to do than /visor but it'd still be nice to have.

I don't think so. Or the can make it like they made the glacial robe:make them into 2 separate piece. The body and the head.
Same reason we can't have belts or capes also. It's all about the resources needed to do it and the clipping. It's not gonna happen for a long time if at all.
Must admit, when I got my WHM armor I was a little disappointed to see that the hood was static and there was no way to bring it up. One hopes they change this eventually, but it is not a big deal.
I'm guessing that they can make the body look more like a regular robe without that hood in the back. Then make the hood as a head set. They already did it for the glacial coat, hopefully they can do it for the whm.
Just print this out and glue it onto your screen over your character.

Close enough.
Perhaps wait for AF 2?
There might be a different WHM robe that comes with the hood up. There is still more game to come :p.
I don't see why it couldn't just act like a cowl, but hide whatever is on your head to prevent clipping.
It makes me extra sad that we can't because back in 1.0 when they teased AF there was a concept art image of the hood being flipped up.
The only reason I wouldn't want any more hooded robes is because they always hide your hair. The WHM hood would look pretty cool given how they'd do it. But in order to prevent the clipping you'd get that weird headband on your forehead as usual which, at least to me, just looks extremely silly. There's a way to get around it of course, but it would require a fair bit of redesigning which SE wouldn't want to put time in I'm sure; variations of the hairstyles that only show up if you're wearing a hood.
There is of course AF2 that'll come in the expansion though (most likely, seems too major to just throw it in a patch), perhaps that'll be a nice surprise.
ps3 limitation
as long as the hood doesn't look like most of the recent gear then I say its a great idea and I hope it arrives one day! :)
sadly most current gear is...you know laughable clown gear. im somewhat worried about their current armor designers. most are just "ok" and the rest are....embarrassing to say the least.
Hopefully they'll add this feature with the upcoming AF2 /visor command
IIRC, Yoshida did say they would look into the visor command working on hoods for future sets, but preexisting sets couldn't be changed.
Hopefully the AF2 will have the feature to /visor the hood on ^^ Since we have not seen the concept for WHM.
mmm I am still craving that SMN Af2 though >w<
Well, there is this
