Viera hairstyles

I would wait until May when they have those 2 days of packed info/content regarding Endwalker before whining.

I vehemently disagree: everyone should be expressing grievances as they have them.
For one thing, it's always important for a developer to know that there are grievances, that way they can't really get away with saying something like "we didn't know (you still felt this way)."
For another, this game has a history of promises that aren't delivered on, along with a tradition of players who keep trying to push the time for others to complain to later and later dates with newer and newer goalposts, usually because they, themselves, like what's happening, want to (blindly) whiteknight for ol' sensitive Squeen, or even just don't necessarily care about what's going on and just don't want to feel like they should care one way or the other and would rather just not see it at all.

The character creator is really subpar compared to everything FFXIV has to offer- I think it was intended to be updated at some point, but even the thousands of requests for updates in the forums & on Reddit- FFXIV Devs have never really acknowledged anyone wanting improvements with character creator. Or, they tell the community "It's too hard" I'm guessing all of the FFXIV profits goes to SE's single title games with nothing left over to give the waning parts of it's MMO, FFXIV the much needed updates.

The truth seems to be: if the Japanese player community isn't requesting it, you won't see it.
So, if abunch of the Japanese playerbase have infact made requests for Viera & Hrothgar updates as well as an updated character creator, then "please look forward to it"

The current Character Creator is a reflection of what FFXIV started as- a lackluster mess in need of alot of TLC
This may be me, but I prefer the Character Creator in WoW compared to FFXIV- but the upside to FFXIV, you can use mods to get the updates people desperately beg for. Then Yoshi P asks players not to mod the game since it can be misleading (IMO: then update FFXIV character creator & people wouldn't feel the need to fix & improve what XIV devs wont? lol)

Oh look, an emote nobody asked for
People are still wanting Viera & Hrothgar Improvements
Oh look, an overpriced outfit you can't dye that noone asked for
People still are asking for updates or some word for Viera & Hrothgar improvements
Oh look, something Viera & Hrothgar can't even wear
Wow, such an open minded design team FFXIV creators are! I wonder if they pretend Viera & Hrothgar don't even exist?

Waiting is one thing, but deciding to stay silent until X day doesn't prove anything or add to the issue
It just makes designers think the playerbase is complacent

People have to keep asking just to have a request made into reality

They actually have a somewhat active thread from what I can tell requesting viera and hrothgar hair, as well as a “wishlist” thread where it frequently comes up.

If it’s true that the Japanese player base has more sway I hope they are looking there. They don’t start as many threads, and from what google translate tells me they are a little more polite about it, but they are regularly asking for these updates.

I’ve also seen them asking for more glasses every now and then which I appreciate. It’s something everyone can use and if they can’t make hats work on us, I’d like more options for face gear.

Okay, but the fact that you don't like the hairstyles isn't really the same as you not getting any.

Players of every race are getting a bone thrown at them every other patch, while Hrothgar and Viera don't get anything. Not even a hairstyle they might not like.

How entitled do you have to be to come to a thread about viera and hrothgar hairstyle issues and complain about hair on a race that has several times the choice of those two races? Sigh.

Not saying that no other race deserves attention but this isn't about further updating the other races. This is about bringing the new races in line with the older ones.

God I wish we were fortunate enough to be able to complain that we don't like the new hair. We don't have any new hair to complain about!

It's less to do with 'entitlement' and more to do with gently reminding people that other playable races have been lacking in some way for far longer than Viera. I'm not sure why asking for every playable race to be fixed is such a point of controversy, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given how this place often works.

Look at you spitting facts that the SE stans are too afraid to face.

The other races don't need to be fixed. It would just be nice if they had some touch ups. Viera were promised new racial-unique hair nearly two years ago, and hrothgar new heads, neither have gotten what they were promised. While it would be nice if some of the other races got some updates, it shouldn't continue to be at the expense of viera/hrothgar.

Tbf it isn’t the first time SE has promised something and hasn’t delivered. It really isn’t surprising they lied yet again about these kinds of things.

Ah yes, calling constructive criticism and calling out the company for their mistakes and false promises is “whining”. Lmao
