Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Ranhansha]

Didn't know M-Vieras were shorter, even shorter than a full height F-Highlander, which was not expected at all. Personally, I like being really tall because mounts and glams look better. I don't like farming some daggers or shield for a lala and then just catching a faint glint. That said, when I heard about Vieras, I was determined to create a male coming from my M-Highlander and I have to say I have fallen in love with the waymy F-Viera looks right now, however, I'll play a lot with the benchmark tomorrow (and some more days I think) to see if I can create one I like and believe has as much potential as my current character. It's something I have been wanting for a long time and 5cms are not going to change that. Sure, I wanted them to be burlier and taller, so if they end up being weird pseudo elezens I'll just have to pass on them, but they have my vote of confidence since I won't abandon the option for just a couple cms.

I’m pretty petty but I personally love seeing the “make viera tall bros” crowd be disappointed. So many of you were aggressively implanting your ideals on a race that ultimately wasn’t for you at all.

I’m super happy I get to be slim and 5’9

Wow... What is this "this race is not for you"? It sounds so wrong in a thread where
we have all been on the same boat for months. People are allowed to have expectations and they have probably had them for as long as you, so it's normal for them to feel disappointed when they're not met. Adding salt to injury doesn't feel right.

I don't know if that's for hairstyles or headgear as well, but I'm already happy more hairstyles are on the way [...] we hopefully won't have to wait years between expansions to see more of them.

I think it might be for both... Well, they are currently delivering new styles (as seen by the Viera in the ninja relic set)

I truly hope that's the case but don't raise your expectations because we were promised exclusive hairstyles at launch and we've got none so far, so please, let it be true this time. If we can actually use older hairstyles and headgears during 6.0 I'll be really surprised and grateful for their effort.

7.0? They already showed an image of a female Viera wearing at least one unlockable Gold Saucer hairstyle, we don't know how many more and when exactly we're getting them (assuming Endwalker?) but it's happening.

Yeah, you're right, I got my numbers mixed there, I meant 6.0. I know people say we've seen some new hairstyles but we don't know when and how they'll be implemented so I'd rather be cautious with me expectations because then they're crushed

Definitely, but we've actually seen something now so that's more progress than we've had so far. I'm cautiously optimistic

Shame they aren't in the benchmark so we can get an idea of what we're getting, but I guess buyable/earnable ones never are.
