SE, the dev team needs some more resources.

Apparently Au Ra had all hair+headgear when they came out so logic follows that they would do the same the next time they release new races but instead of waiting/hiring people or resources and doing things correctly they rushed them out to make this result. It's just not ok.

They could have also just outright disabled headgear instead of Busting their butts to try and make Some of it work. Im happy that we at least got Something instead of nothing at all.
And now, they can work on improving it.

I have faith in this team, despite what goes wrong, ALOT more goes right.

I think this is something a lot of people don't get. I swear to god you all come across as a bunch of Azulas. This one thing goes wrong and it's the end of the world. Complain and they will fix it but it will take time.

Yes, those people did on so their off hours, on their own accord and deserve a bonus for it. I had faith in Square Enix in the 2010 and was rewarded with 1.0. Success can lead to arrogance and in business arrogance can lead to failure. There is nothing wrong call out a successful team; it keeps them humble, grounded, and hungry.

Snippet

Nobody said they can't be called out. And looking at that picture....how else do you fix a problem other then patching it later?

I believe the point of that line is more about development and fixing issues BEFORE they go live rather than pushing a buggy mess out the door with the idea you can just patch the bugs later. Obviously some bugs are missed and make it through, but when your testers are telling you about things that are wrong, and you ignore them and push the content out anyways with all those bugs you were aware of still there, well that's a problem.

You have the assets available to make sure you have a successful product and you don't release the product until it's ready. The question shouldn't be how you fix the problem other than patching it later but rather why wasn't the problem fixed before Shadowbringers was launched?

It's not a question of assets. It's a question of time. And, believe it or not, the market rewards timely releases far more than quality. If you knew this issue was going to exist prior to buying the expansion, would you still have bought it? I believe the answer is yes.

That being said, the headgear we did get hovers weirdly, or clips with the ears. (Flowers and hairpins hover, whilst that little fox mask from pvp clips badly into the ears when visored.)

It's a sort if telekinesis. The new races are a tad more gifted than what we had before. Stronger than magneto even.

Honestly, these powers should be shown more in-game, like have them have slightly higher passives.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

That's how its supposed to work

Well good to know the armor literally sucks XD

Its kinda funny, the issues with the headgear on Hrothgar are things I wondered and worried about with the Bangaa if we ever got them as a Playable Race. Not to mention the Lupin if THAT was ever gonna happen (Me and some friends humored the idea.)
So....Looking at the situation, other then some gear, head options were never gonna work, ever see a single Lupin in SB wearing headgear? Only other solution is...the devs will have to make new and unique headpieces.
I dont see most of the current headgear being able to fit the Hrothgar unless they literally go out of their way to redesign it, because the clipping, hovering, or not fitting and looking goofy problems will always persist.
And frankly, I do NOT see them going back and redesigning Hundreds of Head Pieces.
