Yep, au ra has everything available, from short to long, and a variety of each, so it can make it easier to glamour, and vary your look(s). It's probably pretty jarring after having played a viera for so long. I'm sure they do see the discrepancy, it's just simply not a priority at all, and apparently they never intended on adding any further styles previously anyway. It is still too early to say if they won't deliver this time around, but I am not going to get my hopes up. I want to be pleasantly surprised. Will viera ever catch up? I seriously doubt it. Best we can hope for is a decent selection of varied, quality, hairstyles.
It just boggles my mind that a big company like this, that boasts 22mil players worldwide, would leave such gaping holes in their design. It is ridic that hrothgars have to pay to change hairstyle. And I am with you, vieras are not prioritized and probably never will be. They will probably never catch up and there will be little reason to run certain events for vieras and hrothgar until they decide to actually rework their designs. Which will happen approximately when they fix up the other races as well....(never).
