A race with GIANT ears that are on the TOP of their head (a completely different location). If they had the ears smaller and in the same place as the cats ... they could make the cat head system work. They didn't do that cause that's not how Fran looks and people asked for Viera, and they gave Viera ear customization so that their ear's arent just a part of their hair like with cats. So they would have to go back and redesign or alter how many years worth of hats to make a system that works for them and that's a bit much to ask at this point.


Hope for a FF14 New Genesis so that they can update this old AF graphics system/ engine.



Happens when you change genders and they made sure everyone in game knows these are limited races.



This is such a silly take.

If you're ok with Viera just turning into humans when wearing hats then just play humans and wear the GS Bunny ears.
It's the thing that defines them as a race ... there's no way they would disregard that feature and turn it off just so you can play dress up as freely as you want. It would be as lazy and baaaad as "just let em clip"
I was aware of the of the fact that it was a limited raced, it took me 2 weeks to actually decide to change to a Viera knowing most of my paid stuff wont work on it, but I gave it up cause I thought it's still the most race that pleases to me.

And Viera =/ humans even if their bunny years were covered, their face differs, they hairstyles are unique, their poses are also specific and the height it also something that defines a Viera, hiding their ears won't make a Viera a less Viera or unrecognisable, and let's say they will redesign some helmets/hats w.e so their ears won't be seen anymore, for me that's not a problem, and I am SURE it's not for any Viera user, and if it is they can simply hide the headgear and everyone is happy.

And most of the hats are the same model, like someone else already said here, most are just repeats even the newer ones. And even so, let's say it would be a lot of work, at least make the paid stuff work on them. (hairstyles and headgear bought with real money). But I still believe it's common sense to make everything available for a monthly paid game, if this was a free game I would understand and I wouldn't even dare to ask for a change, but it's not.
