If this game truly listens to it's comunity PLEASE make Viera able to wear head gear!

Those are slightly under HALF of available Viera jobs (and as such, available Viera sprites) in FFTA (with one of 2 new jobs in A2), counting the 2 jobs that have "a headband" (Summoner and Archer), then it's exactly HALF the available Viera jobs IN the game that ORIGINATED the race. Because they appeared in TA before they appeared in XII.

and the Viera Wood Warders also wear a mask that also goes past their ears

Edit: Apparently linking the images directly isn't working so, relevant links: Assassins, Snipers, Red Mages, Green Mages

And the Wood Warder. Other relevant Viera wearing headgear are just, y'know, FRAN and Mjrn.

Also, here's a Viera in a Santa hat, just for giggles, official artwork from Puzzles and Dragons.

But, I've mentioned Viera in Tactics wearing head pieces in my post. And honestly, your examples aren't 3D, interchangeable models or complex objects like in FFXIV. And I'll admit, I didn't see that 3D Viera model before. But the helm was still made specifically for Viera. What other race is going to be able to wear that? And, as it stands, Viera aren't going to wear the Dragoon helms without radically changing the designs around the ears.

Edit: I should also add that you can change the ear length and type for Viera. That will certainly effect how the head piece will look on them

I hope the Director will see to this carelessness and fix Viera, also I'm pretty sure these won't be the last races in-game so I expect them to learn from their error and do a better job next time!.

Actually this was almost certainly the last time we get new races. The devs stated that adapting all existing armor from three expansions to the new races in ShB was a massive undertaking and it's not likely to be feasible again. They basically had enough resources to do two different character models, so they had to choose two out of male viera, female viera, male hrothgar and female hrothgar. Viera was a fan favorite, but there had also been a desire to see some more beastly races instead of just humans of different sizes and with unusual ears or tails attached. I recall seeing that implementing the other genders for those isn't completely off the table (presumably they can leverage some existing assets so it won't be as bad as a completely new race), but it's not on the established roadmap either.

I don't even really see what the problem is.
For most helmets they could just have the ears stick out, it'd probably look fine even if they were just clipping through like there were holes in the helmets for the ears.
A bit silly yes, but cmon this game doesn't have '' realistic '' armor or gear that '' makes sense '' to begin with.
Or they could just simply have the ears go away as if they've been folded into the helmet or something I dunno.

fewer than 1% of the player base.

Do Viera really make up less than 1% of the player base? Where did you see that statistic?

I see them all over the place, though Miqo'te still outnumber just about every race. I sincerely doubt what I'm seeing is just 1% regardless. It's clearly higher than that.

They really don't if you take a look over at LuckyBancho. On pretty much every server Viera have pretty decent numbers considering how LuckyBancho counts their census data. They're still beating Roe's pretty handily in terms of how many there are on any given server.



Here's the spread of races on Balmung for example, and looking at the other servers gives pretty much identical numbers.

the Werewolf Head completely hide viera ears and people seems to forget this . For armor helmet just hide the ears and we done and I'm sure they're working on it anyway .

That's what I was thinking. Based on the amount that I see and looking at census sites like LuckyBancho in the past, it really doesn't feel like 1%. I remember when they were first added and people said the hype would die down and everyone would change back to something else, and then I go into duties and cities and so many are still Viera.

I guess the population of Viera isn't the most relevant to the OP's request, but it just felt so inaccurate to say that they make up less than 1% of the pop, so I just wanted a quick fact check on it.

two things:

Floppy ears may "double clip" where the dipping tips just end up tangled in whatever is on your head.

Lots of people would be very annoyed that something with it's own customization slot on their chosen race just disappeared with most of the headgear.

It's either that or none at all tho, and if you don't like it then you could always hide them and it'd be like how it is now xD.
