VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[LuciaMirain]

I do know a few boy buns who were disappointed they didn't get the big ponytail style. Honestly doubt we will ever see big and long hair like f Viera styles ever again :c

I want the male styles so badly.

But also, SE really needs to stop putting in hairstyles or hats as an incentive to clear content or spend gil for that matter. And also stop adding hairstyles to mogstationglamours. Put the hairstyles separately and lower the price of the glam.

Hrothgar may actually get some custom race specific styles if anything.

I don't know about that, or at the time they talked about it it was still up in the air at least. Bolded the relevant part:

"Through great effort, we’re making changes to the current Hrothgar system, and while I can’t say the variety will increase, it won’t be limited to 'one face pattern, one hairstyle'; instead, we’re working on having one face pattern able to support multiple hairstyles."

"Additional new hairstyles for Viera are in the next round of adjustments, and will be available from the launch time of 6.0. Hrothgar will take more time, so they’ll be available from 6.1."

"In any case, because the character team is graciously continuing to work on these two races for us, and because they’re also preparing for the increases in gear and hairstyles, please wait a little longer."

It's possible there will be a few more for Hrothgar, but considering it only amounted to about 6 hairstyles for Viera I wouldn't be too optimistic. Mostly curious to see if they will actually let them change it at the aesthetician rather than just giving access to "all" hairstyles during character creation or Fantasia.

Looking at where the thread is going it seems to work out well for them to throw a few crumbs and have players fight with each other instead of directing it at them.

didnt bother thinking "hmmmmmm, maybe we could just make all of these unisex so female vieras get a bunch of new hairstyles." It was even suggested multiple times in the forums to let male and female viera share hairstyles.

Sorry I don't mean to sound controversial but quite a few Female Viera, myself included, wouldn't use the male Viera hairstyles... I would rather have something new than SE spend time fixing both the exclusive hair to make it unisex. I like how the different genders for Viera have their own distinctive hairstyles and it's something I'd like SE to retain. We can agree the male Viera could do with more of a variety, but a lot of people were upset over the lack of masculine options for Male Viera and I think it's time we had more styles suited to those type of people.

lore into it, you cant really tell a female viera from a male viera until a certain age so....it would even make sense to let them share hairstyles.
And before anyone says "but then you cant tell the sexes apart" like....have you SEEN lalas? And that argument goes out the window as soon as you realise basically all hairstyles are unisex now so everyone can present as they would like for the most part

I kind of stopped listening to the FFXIV lore based around Viera because it clashes too much with XII - they're just different universes and I've accepted that now. But with all due respect if we're already having issues telling the difference with female and male viera, I wouldn't want them to be even more similar than they already are.

You are ofcourse entitled to your opinion. I don't take offense.

I like a few of the male hairstyles for Viera so I bounce around between them. I would like it if they introduced some more unique female Viera hairstyles. There’s an image floating around somewhere of a lot of pretty female hairstyles.

I made a Furry boy because evry game i have the chance I do (khajiit for life, Ajani goldmane lover).

But it broke my hearth when I finished my samurai Glam and found that the bunny samurai hat from the mogstation(White Tetsuji Usagi Kabuto) doesn't work on us... I MADE THE ENTIRE GLAM FOR THAT HAT.

[HeyMcFly]

I'd much rather have time taken to make new viera & hrothgar hairstyles, they look better quality as it is while the hairstyles that other races have, the age shows on many of them already
+1 I'd much rather see Unique viera & hrothgar hairstyles made

I mostly wanna be able to wear head pieces. My crafters and gatherers can’t use any of the fiend coffer head pieces which is sad because they’re mostly very cool, and hats can radically change or add to the aesthetic of a particular look.

[LuciaMirain]

I think fair should just be fair. I want the same access to things I can earn ingame or pay for as everyone else. The equivalent at least.

I want to know why Square thinks it's okay to keep rewarding us with seasonal event HATS that we cant use. Such as the kabuto helms and more recently the clown outfit for all saints wake 2022 that comes with a hat we can't use. At least let us have the nose or a separate item that is the nose only?

I hate how the designers don't even give us viera/hroth players a second thought and ignore us outright. It's lazy...
