The plan was this.
At release they would have NOTHING but stuff like snowman head and they would work on releasing some stuff bit by bit. (You can equip them, but they won't be displayed. However, things that replace the head are OK, like the snowman head, fat chocobo head, etc. No glasses. Basically, the default is that it won't be shown, and only things that replace the head are ok.)

Devs took it upon themselves to bang out that work load on their own free time behind his back. That is why on release they had glasses and such. Yay, the devs made "500+ head gears work" that were planned to be worked on and released later.

That is over. They did what that quote said they were gonna do but instead of "lil by lil" it was banged out for release without him knowing.

You can believe they will slide in 6 months from now to make random SB/ HW/ ARR/ AF and so on hats work if you want, I believe you will be disappointed. The items that do work all follow a pretty damn clear pattern that they have stuck with on recent releases.
