Can someone, please, in the simplest words in the existence explain to me, why the "Modern Aesthetics - Modern Legend" hairstyle obtainable in the Firmament for Scrips, cannot be used on Viera? Like was there even ANY attempt from Square to make it work? It is a hairstyle released AFTER Viera release, so one would atleast suggest there will be any attempt to make it work. Take the hair and put ears on there, hint. hint. It worked on f-----g Miqo'te. Would it really look that weird or straight unusable if you had Viera ears there? I think not.
Too busy working on next Mog Station mount and outfit i guess. Thanks Indie Enix : ok_hand :
Okay, so ... Modern Legend hairstyle

Basically everyone at SE towards Viera and Ronso.

because vieras are smart enough to not use male style haircut.

Should been a male only hair style looks awful on female characters.

I don't think they have that big of a problem with Vieras head model. But Hrothgar in the other hand might have some problems and due to that they won't release anything for Viera until that's figured out. Then again I don't even know if they ever change hrothgars way of having hair stuck to the head might give that away if they don't change it. Would be weird if they let it be like that and not give them any exclusive hairstyles, because then theyd have to release a new face for them so I don't know... So many bad decisions from their end.
I do hope they are working on it though. When the time comes, I will be changing back to Viera. -

I feel there's a small group of passionate developers that work on XIV. Some aspects of the game are so well thought out and yet others...not so much. I just looks like a team that loves what they do but lack the time and people to achieve what they want. The part where a small team went and I think on their own time made sure some of the gear fit both new races reinforces this thought. I mean I have no idea, I'm not a dev and I don't work for SE but it just looks like some projects I have been on where similar things happen.

11-18-2019, 02:07 AMSkivvyWhat always gets me is that Au Ra never suffered with any of this. I'm sorry, but if you're going to release a new race (or two), I feel like you should be able to fully support them and not suddenly seem incapable of fitting new hairstyles or headgear to the race. Yes, it takes time and effort - but so does releasing anything new in your game. They feel so half-baked. ._.Quote:

I mean I appreciate the effort and the results when they come through. It's stuff like this that worries me XIV will suffer the same fate as so many other great games: Death by Corporate GreedQuote:

I mean, wasn't it somewhat clearly a rush job putting out a race that everyone was clamoring for? Maybe devs had a good reason for not wanting to create this in the first place.

I haven't seen a single person (or pic) with this hairstyle? Anyone got one (other than the official FFXIV pic)?
-
11-18-2019, 03:30 AMSturmChurroMy friend has it on his guy. It looks like a spiky anime cut, really puffy. Looks like a butch style on females. I haven't actually seen anyone else really using it either.Quote:

First thing I plan to get from the Firmament once I actually have the time. I wanna be able to dress up as the FF1 Warrior of Light and/or Bartz. That hairstyle is good looking.
But for real though, yeah, it's ridiculous how little effort they seem to put into luxuries for Viera and Hrothgar since their release. At the very least, they could put in big bold letters on the equipment and hairstyle items saying, "Not currently applicable for Viera and Hrothgar." -

SE doesn't put a priority on things like this. They did away with racial concerns for the ARR launch. If this was still 1.0's design philosophy, we'd all have fitting attire and hairstyle options. ...and probably 40 ring slots. -

Viera and Hrothgar, being incomplete races, don't get to have nice things
-
11-18-2019, 08:44 AMSkivvyI really don't remember much of the pre-release Au Ra details, but ear holes would have been nice. I've always loved the few hats/helmets that have molded ears or ear-holes for miqo.Quote:

I do wonder if the reason they're not adding things to Viera is because it's far more difficult to implement on the Hroth, and they just don't want to deal with the outrage if one race gets something and the other doesn't. -

11-18-2019, 10:01 AMIscahIt looks like Noctis - but a better, more even version of Noctis. The hair is more equal-length and swept back instead of having that really hacked short layer at the top.Quote:

Funny, cause this hair style just looks like a better version of the short Viera style. -
11-18-2019, 05:34 PMdragonkyn20Technically it's the other way around since the original Warrior of Light predates Noctis by like at least 15 games :PQuote:

Its probably because they said Vieras and Hrothgars would only get exclusive new haircuts (basically hairstyles only for their race) and old ones/new ones wouldn't get adapted.
It really isn't a good excuse thought, they could have made it usable for Vieras at least. -
11-18-2019, 08:10 PMAllegor
I somehow feel they're both treated as one race so don't really expect Viera to get anything util Hroths do and vice versa.
-
11-18-2019, 10:12 PMRyazI think it looks awful on male characters as well. At least my Midlander. It's fine from the side, but head on, it's just WAY too poofy.Quote:

Back in 1.0 through ARR, miqos had tops that had tail holes and if there was a pouch on the back, it would be turned into two pouches on either side of the tail hole. I noticed that started to go away in HW and now for the most part, the tail just clips through everything. It looks really bad on the new Ishgard Restoration glam where your tail goes right through a pouch. In addition, a lot of newer ShB gear doesn’t even have the famous miqo ear condoms on hats, hoods, and helmets.Quote:

At this point I think I would have rather have had them concentrate on the existing races then add these two half-baked ones. -
11-18-2019, 11:34 PMSturmChurroYeah, they don't even do stuff for tailed races, or specifically miqo'te - which is probably their most populous race male+female (I think male hyur may be the most popular for males). Tailed races together are probably played more than not. Probably best to expect nothing for viera, or very little.Quote:

It's sad indeed... -
11-19-2019, 12:02 AMSturmChurroI think it looks super dumb on my friend's guy. Same. I wish they had a few (a lot) more western hairstyles for males. Shorter, and medium length.Quote:
