VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Raiku_Baralai]

I was so excited about the new hairstyles and then they just remove the ears for no reason while still not adding the option to wear hats

I just started to level up a Dragoon as my new main physicial Class and it looks so sad without being able to wear the Dragoon-Helmets >-<

We also don't know (or I didn't fully grasp it) if we still need to use a Phial of Fantasia to change between hairs or not. I know that you need to do that now because "faces are tied to hairs" but... are now still tied? Or will they be separated from now on?

Given that we can't use non-default hair styles in the character creator, that would seem to be a hint that Hrothgar can finally change hair in-game.

Mind you, that still doesn't make this right. I mean, the bar for Hrothgar treatment was so low it was almost a tripping hazard in Hell, and they still found a way to make it look worse.

I do recall them saying semi-recently that they were having to change some things about how Hrothgar are constructed to implement the additional hairstyles. That could be the "shifting ears from head model to hair model" thing that people are speculating here.

I believe that's exactly what it is. My guess is that these hairs can only be used on a new Hrothgar "head" for each face.

The hair update is so bad it looks like a joke. I can't believe they were being serious, it was laughably bad, but now I'm genuinely upset. Hrothgars need to use a Fantasia just to change hairstyles, can't wear hats, and lack basic customization. We were told back in 2019 that an update was coming, and then Covid happened so it was pushed back but we were reassured with the announcement of Endwalker that the update was still coming. I was expecting the default hairstyles would be available across all head models and would no longer require actual IRL $$ to change, and that would have been fine, at least a step in the right direction, maybe a new hairstyle or something? But this? This looks like awful photoshop and it just further isolates the Hrothgar race. The developers obviously have no interest in Hrothgars, they barely even showed up as NPCs in Endwalker, but this is just an insult. I cannot believe the same people who made this amazing game also spent time, money, and energy on this awful update. I have no words, just disappointment.

Looking at those new hairstyles made me have actual horrified goose bumps.

Cut off my ears? Well, yoshi you literally have no excuse to keep Hrothgar from wearing hats now. I still love my Hrothgar to death and willing to settle if I can wear hats since my ears are "hiding under them"

bet you any amount of money they still wont give us hats because "something, something, limitations, something, something, please look forward to it."
