Patch 5.31 Discussion!

I'm certain the /highfive emote is meant to be a FFVII Remake reference (given Aeris trying to get Cloud to highfive her was a running gag in that game)... or at least I like to think it is.

Nah, it's actually a XIV reference to the high five with Ardbert. They even used the corresponding Gear to show that.

Theres a high five emote now.

110% sure Viera & Hrothgar will not get access to this hairstyle.

Don't worry, modders will make it work by the end of the week. Please remember SE is a small indie dev studio and can't make new things for the new races. /s

That hair winner is chosen more likely not because it is the best looking or most popular but simply because it is the easiest to render and implement, lol.

No, it was a popularity contest that people on these very forums voted on 5 years ago.

The winners from that popularity contest have pretty much been the hairs we have gotten over the past 5 years.
There's now ... 2 more before they have done all the winners.
So yeah, this player base having weak taste and voting for art style over design is part of why we get so many shorter hair styles.

The voting system also was messed up (because people didn't read properly). The voting was working through the like button in the forums here, but only the first like was counted. But people just liked every hair style they came across, wich means hair styles on the first page of the topic had a greater chance to win than the ones on the last page.

The number one winner didn't even had the most likes.

Another patch everyone gets a new hairstyle but female Viera and male hrothgar. Great decision-making adding in adding these 2 playable races in shadowbringers. How do I know it won't work on female Viera/male hrothgar? They're supposed to get unique hairstyles, not these general ones. Combine this with the fact that we might not get the missing genders and I really have to question what even was the purpose of adding these 2 races.

Fan service. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can say that I have a Viera main.

[Payadopa]

Aw... I thought we'd get ARR NG+. Maybe that was 5.35 .

And yay.... hairstyles I can't use. >.<

Looking forward to the Restoration, though. I enjoy the slow burn and the place looks sooo nice. ^^

No, this is fan dis-service. This is like you ordering pizza and they only bring you the dough.
They could've tried harder by just giving us Fran and Kihmari as in their totality. We can't even use Fran's ears (the ears Viera use in XII) nor her hair.
