Viera & Hrothgar need access to more helmets/Hats

[Avidria]

Yet Miqo'te ears get extensions, or stitched holes for them depending on the hood.

I wish more got holes frankly
I'd prefer clipping to those godawful silly ear socks, or the weird pointy extensions some armor has. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it looks ok, but most of the time imo it looks absolutely terrible >.<

Would it be nice? Absolutely.
Needs to be? No.

They made it pretty clear what those of us who chose to play these races were getting into before they came out.
No hats, limited hair.
OK, some of the team did some off their own back, here you go.
Well, we'll add some more and do some more hair/faces for them, at some point in the future, we'll let you know when we've more to say, please look forward to it.

I made my choice when I was told I'd never get any, so if I get any at all I simply consider it a welcome bonus but I in no way need them and will happily live without them for getting to play a race I enjoy.

And that's perfectly fine-- I also find it unacceptable those sorts of limitations. If it was a "for now, they cant have X but down the road, yes" then I'd be singing a different tune

That's what I thought at first, but since 5.0+ we are getting less and less. So, it actually makes sense now. MAYBE they are working on something big, maybe even an update for the races, but...

I've thought of this as well; maybe the reason we are getting less is due to the work being put on the races? Like cosmetic updates or something? Maybe the same gorgeous story early shadowbringers was? Like spreading resources out instead of spending more time on dungeons than there needs to be etc.
It's no lie that the previous races need a visual update and the new races need to be completed.

[HeyMcFly]

I think they will fix this problem after adding egi glamour, please look forward to it.

It's been 84 years...

Aww, I love the weird little ear socks, although if they went that route with Viera they may be quite terrifying. X:

More like leg warmers at that point. Ear warmers?

[Taybat]

Agreed. and more hair customization options. Let Hrothgars change there hair with the aesthetician.

I'm glad someone likes them lol, genuinely
I've just never been able to stand them. Usually hid any hats that had the little socks. Some of my fav hats are the ones where the ears just poke through xD like... the spotted hat from the couerlregina fate that I finally got but can't wear on my Viera <.<

I probably just have really bad taste. I find coifs really adorable also, albeit in more of the 'it's so ugly it's cute!" kind of way.

I do still totally appreciate ear-holes as well. Would love if they gave that treatment across the board, but I'm not holding my breath on that

Viera with hooded robes look no different than Au ra, horns poke through. This ain't a Viera problem, this is just how the game is.

Having 2 foot long ears with clippy tuffs of fur clip out of the top of your head is far more noticeable than some rigid horns poking out the side. As someone who has played that race and is VERY triggered by needless clipping (Short hair for life) I can say that though I'm not a fan of some of the clipping with the horns it is in no way all that distracting. The horns are actually designed in a way so that most of the time you can reason it away because they cover the clipping point (so you can easily think "there's a spot where the character slotted on the helm" for example)

Just like I don't have the same reaction to tails clipping through 99% of tops as I do when I look at this.

And again, Viera ears ARE IN their "hat" slot. Even if the devs wanted to be lazy and "just make the ears clip through the hats" and embrace the visual pain that would be "bent ears" clipping through something like this they would STILL have to make 4 . different . versions of every hat in the game just to make each look like a lazy clippy poop because the hat would have to replace the ears on Viera with a "Hat + whatever ear they picked" model.
(And ontop of that, they would have to design "hat hair models" for all of Viera hairs ... which doesn't seem like a big deal at first but it's even more work down the line seeing as they will only get unique hairs in the future)

That's more work than any race in this game gets lol

Like I said, new game and I'm sure it'll be far easier to make up a new system for handling Viera ears. But that aint what we got, we got a game that was built fast on the back of a broken nightmare. Game's been showing it's age and there are a number of common play CC options we will simply never get because the game was built the way it was. It really is a minor miracle that they got the 2 races in the way they did ... because it's clear that the most logical step in making them would have been to make Highlander Neko instead of Hrothgar and a tall, tailless neko with stilly longer "bunny like" ears instead of Viera.
