Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Halivel]

At least he talked about it that recently... so there is still hope. I thought the last time he talked about it was more than a year ago.

That interview probably wasn't translated, I'm not sure. At least I don't remember seeing it anywhere in English. He was actually asked both about haircuts and helmets situtation, and answered both of them:

• ヴィエラの髪型は増えませんか？

ヴィエラ・ロスガルの髪型はもうしばらくお待ちください

• ヴィエラやロスガルの頭装備の対応どうにかして吉P！

ヴィエラとロスガルの頭装備は、「今の実装を許容する」という条件付きで特殊な耳や顔になっているので、その両立を100%行うのは不可能です。ごめんなさい。

Q: Will there be any new hairstyles for Viera?
A: Please, wait a little bit longer for Viera and Hrothgars hairstyles.

Q: Yoshi-P, you should do something about Viera and Hrothgars headgear!
A: Regarding Viera and Hrothgar headgear - we have an "acceptable for immediate release" condition, so because they have unique ears and faces, we can't make them 100% compatible. I'm sorry.

I'm not sure if I conveyed well what he means in the second answer, because I understand it while reading, but I'm not a translator so... sorry if it's a bit cryptic. The general sense is that helmest won't be ever compatible for 100%.
I'm also honestly still wondering what's so wrong with Viera ears, but I guess that's due to them being changable and being of different shape and size... which is a valid reason, but it sounds a bit weird when there're Lalafells and Elezens who can change their ears shape and size, and Miqo'te and Au Ra whose tails clip trough nearly everything (not to mention Au Ra's horrendous clipping with current Bozja helmets).
