Viera can't use the new Modern Aesthetics - Modern Legend

[hynaku]

I'm done with being a Viera I changed back to aura which been since they came out. Never changing back to a Viera unless they quit making them a limited race with limited hair styles and head pieces. This will make me think trice before ever becoming a new race again.

Fantastic. Really great job, SE... yes that's sarcasm. How can they be this out of touch? I really wish someone would ask them a question as to why these races are SO lacking in customization and we're heading towards 5.2 already with nothing having been done.

At this point it's safe to assume Viera will only get something if Hrothgar gets something and vice versa. Expecting hairstyles to be added to one and completely ignoring the other won't work. They were added together, they will get patched together. So until Hrothgar get more face options with more hairstyles attached to them, or get redesigned to be able to separate hairstyles from face, I personally don't think Viera will be seeing or getting anything either.

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="3"]Modders also do not do it full-time and do not get paid for that (which closes with the first part of the sentence). They do not drive into an office as full-time fully paid game designer. Especially deadlines should mean the actual staff get something done, innit?

yeah. i hope that square didnt become bethesda, their game is laughable without mod.
one thing that tickle me off is this game is a money maker for them, yet they burned all our cash for other game. why yuo let this happen yoshida?? if one of the mod see this post, please tell yoshida the monetarist of Uldah want their money back.

Well I like how my main looks (who also coincidentally looks like my mom too lol), but more hair would be nice because there's only 3 I actually like out of all the default ones.

There must be a technical reason for it. It makes no sense otherwise. It can't just be that it's hard to physically adapt the hair, can it?

They don't like to talk about their technical limitations, but I would love to hear an honest explanation of what the issue is.

I think it actually can for Viera, it is Hrothgar that is the problem, as their hair is tied to the face. Maybe this is their reasoning.

I don’t see how it could be a technical limitation—at least with Viera—when they promised before Shadowbringers launched that they would be adding in new hairstyles and maybe porting some of the legacy hairstyles onto the race. Unless they were just saying empty words.

Does this come from ultimate coil ?

No. Ishgard Restoration.

There's no technical limitation; modders have already ported other hairstyles to Viera. Hrothgar are another story, but that's less limitation and more new assets have to essentially be made for them. Either way, there's no excuse for a massive company like SQX—even with siphoning profits from FFXIV, their biggest money maker—to not fund a few modelers to work on converting/creating hairstyles per day.

I love Viera. If I could just have my hair back, my purchased hair, my earned hair, get that flexibility back again, I'd be fine.
Instead I'm slighted and insulted, with not even a passing word of justification.
And I could switch back to Miqote but then it's no different than rewarding them with cash for their failure.
Just give me my old hair options, please.

[AzuraWinters]

When Shadowbringers launched I thought hair styles would eventually be added, specially the ones unlocked with items and same for hats. However I was expecting any new hat or hairstyle to be available for Viera too.

It's really disappointing to see this, if they weren't going to have time to even make design the new items for new races then they shouldn't had done it.

Oh no, I bet they will, but it will either be a decent handful at once, or a few at a time. Either way, I don't think we will see either for a very long time. "Patch schedule" or some other reason for sure.

Still have extra fantasia's from when they had that big sell on them. At least will be able to use the hairs that I paid for and earned again.

That's good then. Not handing them extra money, you already paid for the fantasias, so at least there's that.
