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

I don't think that one is as accurate as others anyway, but generally you want to refer to the 'active characters', not all characters ever made. The total characters created in the game also includes the gajillion midlander hyur bots trying to sell gil in starting cities.

According to the active characters bar graph there, Viera are the 5th highest race/gender combo, out of 14. I can't imagine that means the other 9 behind them are even further below 1%. I'm probably the worst person at math in the world, but I don't think that adds up.

Fair, though even then, active characters means that you're looking at something that impacts 9% of the player base. And while I agree that this should have been addressed from the start, I also don't support the idea that in the situation we're in right now, that adding more hats should be a priority over making sure that the came can continue to be developed for the remaining 91% of players who aren't viera.

If we weren't still in a global pandemic that pushed back development by several months with the game developers are still adjusting to the new work realities, I wouldn't be so antagonistic. But at this point, we do need to consider what are the bigger priorities, and what additions will benefit the largest number of players.

If it bothers you a lot in the meantime while waiting for official means of using head gear. They do have mods that allow the use of headgear. The clipping is minimal but it is something. Just do not go talking about it in game and you should be fine.

Mods aren't really always an answer considering that for a sizable number of players, they aren't an option. Console players have zero access to them, so unless the original poster is a console player willing to add the mod to their game, this sadly won't solve things.

True, but at the very least it is something someone can do depending on if they have the setup and are willing to use them.

Did not mean to imply mods are the end all be all answer but for those willing and able it does provide a temporary solution to their problem with an active result.
