Viera Ears; Headpiece [REQUEST]

[Gwenorai]

So you want the appeal of a Viera without being a Viera?
May as well give out muscle suits and cat tails while we're at it.

Unfortunately, I can't play as a male Viera ^^

I don't see a problem with adding Viera like ears. Just like I don't see an issue with some of the horns being similar to au'ra horns, or the wolf/fox ears that are similar to that of Miqo'te. Muscle suits, already exist with some of the existing armours. As for tails. All we have is a bunny tail/wolf tail - and some other tails that are part of the armour thy design. But I know you're simply having a jab. I thank you for your comment none the less as you have brought up a con.

Why have the ears when you can just be a Viera, and wouldn't this take away from them?
I don't think it would since the ears would be very much different and certainly wouldn't be as good as the real deal. The dye system certainly wouldn't be able to beat the actual character creators hair colour matching. The other argument is that the females are currently gender locked; and thus allows males to at least partake in one of their characteristics, which already exists in the game - in the form of the gold saucer ears - but to have higher quality rabbit/bunny ears.

Furthermore; a headpiece is a lot more reasonable than adding in tails, or 'ahem' muscle suits - due to how the models work. Any 'muscle suits' would be armour alone, and honestly could be added as gag armour. Tails would have to be linked into the bottoms as they always have. So, the headpiece is actually extremely reasonable.

I've hit posting limit so I have to edit this post. I hope you understand.

No way. The only unique things about the Viera really are their ears. You argue horns in the game as saying Au Ra have horns. They also have scales, tails, unique mouths, and unique eyes. So far all we have really seen about our bunny girls is that they have ears. No special foot pose outside their starting armor, no tails. Adding Viera ears to the shop so anyone could use them would take away the whole identity so far for them.

You guys just need to wait to see if they eventually add Male versions and in the meantime, stop trying to force obvious alternatives.

I'm not trying to force anything; it's a request and nothing more. I have high hopes that Viera has a lot more to them than their ears; especially seeing as we already do have some type of rabbit ear available. I can't make more judgment until I fully see what the female Viera have to offer in regards to stances and animations. I only know what the rest of us know, which is they have a unique height, longer hair options and the rabbit ears.

Thank you for the post none the less as the argument regarding Au'ra having more than just their horns was justified.
