Regarding Hrothgar and Benchmark

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

From what I've seen, so much for the promise that "Viera and Hrothgar will have more customozation options in exchange for no visible headgear". Possibly another broken promise like the one of FC and Personal Housing being separate systems

What Broken Promise?

[MaethusXion]

I don't think they said more customization, I think they said their heads had unique features that prevented most headgear from working.

Could be another case of mis-remembering, but I'll check when I get access back to a computer. I remember it as a)unique head features they don't want blocked by headgear, b)they didn't want to model the hair stuffed under hats, and c)in exchange for doing this they were giving us more customization for these two races

What Broken Promise?

See below. Went back and edited my original post because I mis-remembered the entire housing systems as being separate between FC and Personal, not the PRICES were supposed to be different... short quoted below, can click the arrows to see Yoshi's entire post. And no, he doesn't specifically state "I promise" in there, but it is also a change that was part of the original outrage about the entire housing system being as messed up as it is and there was never any apology of the prices being so insanely high (for at the time)

Personal Housing
While I cannot give a specific date on when personal housing will be implemented, I can say that prices will be completely separate from free company housing, and, naturally, far more affordable.

EDIT I'm just gonna save myself the sanity I have remaining and go with what Iscah says two posts below. Hrothgar were revealed at Tokyo, and idr any Letters after Fanfest until the one we got today...
