New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

I'm going to wait until 6.1 release to give my final judgement, but so far....what the hell is this SE?

If this is the final product then shame on them.

This is the only hairstyle I want. THE ONLY ONE I WANT. WHY CAN'T I HAVE A PONYTAIL SE!?

tbh they've had who knows how many years to get it right, counting the time before hrothgars were even implemented. I know game dev can take a long time but christ, they should have something way better to show by now, especially when modders have made things work in far less time with and no budget at all. I'm seriously so confused what the problem is, i'm not even an expert or anything, very limited animation experience, and even I know how to put a hat on a model and make it stick. Wonder if it's just over-fear of things clipping (even though every race deals with clipping already)?

This is according to the translation (from what he spoke of on LL I'm assuming). I have zero knowledge on modeling myself, but it doesn't make any sense to me either. Hroths in Gangos have been shown to have hairstyles on faces that's impossible for us to select. I'll link the post for it: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-Hrothgar-Hair

So it's totally DOABLE to retrofit other hairstyles, and I fail to see the above reasoning for it on the new hairstyles.

I'm just so tired of feeling like an afterthought to the devs. I understand game design takes a long time, and I understand that they have been working on a lot of different things for us, and I especially understand that, at least in JP, hrothgar are the least played race. But... Come on... Really? They hyped us up for MONTHS about new hrothgar hairstyles being added, something they knew was a point of contention for us. Then they show us this? I've had to explain to many people now that this wasn't actually an April Fool's joke. I care a lot about my character. I put a lot of time and love and hours into this game with my hrothgar, and he's very near and dear to me. But it kinda sucks when they expect us to care about characters like that when they don't seem to care enough about them in the first place. Genuinely makes me wonder why I even play hrothgar anymore. Sorry I didn't want to be a miqo'te! Guess I'm just supposed to put up with a bunch of this stuff for it.

I expected nothing but I was still left disappointed. I created my account only to reply to this topic hoping for some fixes.

In my opinion, less but well done hairstyle is better then more with lower quality.
They should ask the community wich hairstyle they should import, even if it's one per patch/two patch et do the job manually. the automated import don't seems to be efficient on hrothgars.

"We have no choice but to do it this way" unlike the modders who are actually able make good hair options. Too bad.

Now I wont pretend i know anything about models and stuff, but it seems logical to me that if fans are able to do this in their spare time, the people hired to do this, should be able to do it too.

The whole "its impossible" argument they keep using just seems so wierd, when its clearly possible.
