Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

Well, about that...

Yeah.. I can't say I am too impressed with how the hairs that viera got turned out.

I remember them saying male viera were built with no limitations like female viera were

It seemed like a vague statement at the time. They never actually said what the supposed lack of limitations would allow them to do. Perhaps it got lost in translation.

Given that it isn't about getting things made for them any quicker, perhaps it's more about being prepared for future developments? Hairstyles designed with hats in mind even though they can't have them yet?

Please, can we just stop with this? At first it was: "Wow the translator is so good! She can even translate emotions!" Now we have to cope it's: "Maybe something went missing"
No, they were just lazy with this like they have been since the day they created them. They had the excuse they had to rush them, now they only had to create one and said the hairstyle had no limitations for males and see how that turned out. Want to keep waiting? See how 2 years turned out. 6 new boring hairstyles and paying for some items in the mogstation won't even grant you anything. Maybe saying things are wrong and making them understand lying and delivering substandard products that aren't to the same level as the rest of the other races would be better. Guess we'll never know, because we have 6 hairstyles and its duplicates with feathers and bangers for a grand total of 12. More than enough. Let's pay for fantasia.

Remember when people were trashing the modded screenshots of the braid and hairband clipping the ears saying SE would never release something like that because of their high standard of quality? Simpler times.

It just feels rushed, like some of the other hairs just look kind of... bad.. as well. That hairband is just particularly egregious. I guess they wanted the PR, or didn't want female viera to feel left out that male viera got some hairs? Granted, I'm not sure if the hairs for males look any good either..

I don't think it was a pity or a PR thing. Male Viera got the same amount of "new" hairstyles as female Viera, and basically the same ones at that. They got Snow instead of Lightning and a different legacy hairstyle but the others are the same and I assume they look the same on them as well.

Maybe they were made like this on purpose.. to be all like: "see, this is why we never bothered in the first place!", "Now stop bugging us!".

Personally I don't really mind all that much how it looks, I mean it looks really bad but I just thought it was funny how adamant people were that the mods looked trash and SE would never put anything out looking like that.

If anything, that headband shows how lil resources they are willing to put into making custom hair for this race.
Like, I PERSONALLY can logic it away as being "2 hair clips!" but like ... you couldn't give that a hair texture to cover it up? No lock of hair to go over it, like on the top of the head? Was this not complete?

They REALLY don't like making custom hair, which is why they didn't want to do this in the first place. I actually think they shoulda stuck with their "We're only gonna make unique hair for them" stance, cause most of these 6 look lame or outdated. Like, who out here cares about basic ponytail or 9S hair? The Karen hair is the clear winner, woulda preferred Early to Rise over most of the others.

Better than nothing, I guess?

I think I remember seeing a more recent quote by them, stating how they weren't going to do any further hairs, and then referencing these ones. Which was news to me. Maybe somebody recalls this? Might be in this thread even. Anyway, yeah, they don't seem too willing to do more than the minimum racial hairs they start with, and not much custom work to begin with - which may be why I suspect they still haven't done hempen sets.
