So, new hair coming out... Just...

If not actually doing what you said you'd do and not saying anything of substance on the subject for going on 2 years isn't ignoring it, what is? No, they absolutely are ignoring it.

We can speculate about the workflow and in what order it makes sense for them to do things in, but at the end of the day we don't actually know because they won't acknowledge it or talk about it.

So while it may or may not be the right way to go about it starting these threads, it's going to keep happening.

Just because they haven't said anything on the subject doesn't mean they are ignoring it. There was never any confirmation male viera was going to happen (unlike hair and head gear which were confirmed), yet here we are. A lot of people accused the devs of sexism because there was only female viera and male hrothgar. Are we now going to accuse them of ignoring hair and head gear? None of this is a matter of sexism or ignoring, it's simply about work flow. I am sure the ffxiv team didn't forget about hair and head gear. Would it be better if the ffxiv team communicated a little more with the player base and let us in on some of their plans/goals? Yeah, I guess that'd be nice, but that could just as easily backfire.

And obviously I'm not going to say making a request thread is wrong lol

I don't know if it's about work flow, or if they forgot, or if it's because of male viera, or if it's because of hrothgar, or if it's because of COVID. Could be? Would be nice if they could, I don't know, say something about it? I'm not "accusing them of ignoring it", they are ignoring it by not addressing it or doing anything.

Not every speck of content has to be hidden away to be a damned surprise reveal years down the line.

If SE can tell us that female hrothgar is coming without even giving us a date, then SE can say something about the hrothgar and viera hair situation. I'm tired of this.

Girl, same. If (God forbid, please no) the expansion launches and there's still not a strand of hair to be seen people will find some cockamamie reason to twist that into being totally understandable and reasonable as well.

Something that's endlessly baffling about the whiny side of the community is that they ignore the fact that a company invested hundreds of thousands in work force effort (it's not like people are doing this for free), time and other resources to make the race happen. But that company is also suddenly a person with feelings and biases. There is no team making decisions. Only Mr. Square Enix himself and how much he HATES seeing viera worked on. Clearly they're being ignored. Not like, there's priorities and someone given notes to work on things at a later date. They're just sexist/racist.
