While I do understand that they simply made them the same way that Fran's ears work I just feel like it wasn't necessary. It's a different game so our Viera could have looked different, even if Fran made an appearance at some point.
Technically Fran DID show up at one point in the Ivalice Raid Series, typically towards Part 3. But, from reading the thread so far, I'm seeing a lot of constructive discussion(along with some people just passing off on it and saying #DeleteHrothgar and #DeleteViera on the side as a minority).

In general, that response about hair culling sounds like an idea, which is what I was thinking about towards the end of my first post. In a 3D Model, couldn't you just split the hair into pieces so that you can cull certain parts of Hrothgar hair while keeping style? That would make the most sense to me as a solution since you're just creating another part - but then you'd have to consider the extra parts that connect to the Hrothgar's skeleton, which technically they've made hair all one big part. Cutting it up into separate pieces and labeling would take time, but it'd be worth it to be able to wear hats.

As for Viera...I'm just going to say that 'some' hats probably aren't made for them to wear. Like the pointy hats. We can technically just point that out, as much as people would like mage Viera to wear pointy hats. Just consider how culling ears would be - it'd make them look just like a Female Hyur if it weren't for how much taller they are - and I think people want Viera to show off them bun ears.
