I want to let my Hrothgar wear a hat

[Ebur]

I know I'm asking too much, but the fact that I can not have my Hrothgar wear anything but bandanas, and face-covered helms make me feel like SE don't really care about Hrothgar and Viera, like at all. At first I thought this will only effects old armor, but even new armors in ShB as well, I mean like come on! I know it's take a lot of works, so just hats and stuff from ShB onward would be fine, and what kind of hair style that stuck to a face ? what was that about ?

I mean, the plan was for you to not be able to wear any headgear at all and eventually have more unique custom options for face and hair to compensate.

It then came to a shock to Yoshi P that his team had been doing overtime and extra work to enable both classes to wear SOME headpieces, but as you say, they "don't really care".

I'm sure they appreciate players shitting on that extra dedication.

To add to this, they also said that they plan to add more wearable headgear as time went on. But yeah, I agree. Some of the team actually worked on roughly 500 pieces behind Yoshi P's back on their own time to make them available. I respect them a great deal for that.

Didn't even think there was even total 500 different head pieces in the game. If that's the case most helmets and hats should been able to be worn by the new races.

According to Eorzea Database, there's 1769. Though I'm sure a lot of them are just recolors.

Even with that effort, a lot of the head pieces don't work well on viera due to the hairstyles. For example the hair bow from the far eastern school outfit appears to be made to fit the ponytail hairstyle and any other hairstyle will have it float in the air. I guess that's what Yoshi meant when he said they have different heads.

The eastern school ribbon looks very weird on lalafells short twin ponytails. Its right in middle of them.

I had forgotten that there was an expectation of no hats/headgear initially, so I was a little surprised to see that there was a limit on even the ShB hats. I eventually switched back to Au'Ra because I really want my hats and GS hair. When they eventually get more done for Viera, I'll just fantasia then. I'm more happy with getting new content to play, and I get that they have a huge workload ahead of them.

I already commit as a Hrothgar.
I'll live with the limitations we may or may not be able to show headgear.

Eh? I may be wrong, so someone correct me, but im fairly certain that was never the plan. They said from the start that the plan was that at release of hroth/viera that neither would have access to head gear, but they would be implimented later on and the only reason they wouldnt have them at release was due to time constraints.

I believe it was that they wouldn't rework old model head pieces to work with them, so anything from 4.5 or before just wouldnt display, but new gear would be designed and fitted with those races in mind. The situation didnt really sit well with the devs, and the uproar at the decision by the playerbase was just an extra push to spur them to actually make nearly a third of the old models fit.

...Or I am forgetting some key details which said they would have the old head gears work eventually.
