New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

Issue is, will SE actually look at this thread and hear people out? Memes and vitriol aside.

We know Hrothgar are a project Yoshida had in mind since HSW. He wanted a bestial race for a while, he made Au Ra look more bestial in the concept art than they ended up looking, he experimented with the Lupines and from it all got Hrothgars\Ronso. Yet he doesn't play one to our knowledge, and it feels like the problems they've had since got swept under the rug. Now, I don't want to blame it all on Yoshida, that isn't what I'm trying to say. What I am trying to say is that whosever job this was, even if it was a collective, needs to understand that this doesn't look right and it shows. And that to many people, for whatever reason (personal attachments, identity, social minority, even lore people who liked Bozja, fans of FF10 or someone like Yoshida himself who wanted a Bestial race of whatever kind), this is a disappointment.

I understand there are limitations. I understand they are understaffed\overworked. Maybe both. But for the past 3 years I've seen a lot of people say "It's fine, we don't need to implement another gender, we need to make what's already in the game feel good because who knows how long it will take to implement that gender". And the devs do know that they have a lot of good faith in the community. People can be patient, people can wait. It's not a modder's job to fix this, it's Square's job. But we waited 3-ish years for this. And why? For fears that thing clip, when everything in the game clips regardless? It's not even that bad, look at the images of mods going around. Allocate resources to it like you have for Male Viera and like you will for the races you want to improve.

Because I'm sorry, but Hrothgar players already feel like they don't matter because they're a very tiny minority of the playerbase as it is. The only reason we even have any attention at the moment is because Viera players and their supporters think we have the same problems they do, when in reality Hrothgars have it worse. And it is worse feeling like a Hrothgar can't have nice things when all the other races do.
