Possible Ideas to Address Hrothgar/Viera Hat Disparity?

[Yencat]

Considering viera don't get any hats, you'd think they could have given us more ear customization options. As is they really are really light on the customization.. I know someone will probably come here and go "limitations", but if the limitations are the reason we get such limited races, then they should have tempered their vision a bit..

No headgear, tiny amount of hairstyles, limited customization.. definitely not worth it..

Unless I'm completely mistaken Viera ears in the CC fall under the same category as Miqo'te and Au Ra tails with the different types and a length slider, and Miqo'te got 8 different tail types. So yes there would have been room to give us more unique ear options in lieu of headgear even with "limitations", but instead these "highly customizable races you can really go all out on" got less.

They could still do it, but considering changing ears is Fantasia only it's still not a super appealing option for everyone to get access to customization that really should have been there at launch. But then again, this is already a reality for Hrothgar so it would be par for the course at this point.

Now that I think of it though, yeah, I was thinking of customization options for the ears in general, but you are definitely right. There does seem to be quite a lack of distinct ear options to begin with! In relation to the amount of tails a base race gets, which is an equivalent slider, viera got the short end of the stick here! ONLY FOUR options sucks!

No doubt! No free fantasia either! Well. I won't say that.. MAYBE SE will give us a single free fantasia for viera/hrothgar players during 6.0 launch. They did get to cash in on all the players using fantasias the previous two years after all..
