New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[SherlottaEryut]

So I did a bit of digging through the previous live letters to find any info that was mentioned about Hrothgar hairs and I found quite little. What I did find paints an interesting picture though

Thank you, this was an interesting read. I find it very weird they were discussing how to lower development costs of these two races... Was this not around the time there was a huge spike of players in XIV? Why did they feel the need to cut costs when it came to Viera and Hrothgar?

They were discussing that? Wow. No wonder. Were they even spending a lot in the first place?! They weren't doing hairs, they weren't doing the majority of headgear, etc. and they needed to lower costs MORE?! I think they should increase development costs for these two races!

Hi all, I am translating using DeepL.
It looks fine with my knowledge of English.
Sorry if I sounded rude.

The horrible silence in SE is making everyone uneasy.
Of course, I am one of them.
I am very anxious and my hair and ears have fallen out. Sorry, it's not funny.
But imagine. They may be extremely busy right before the 6.1 release.
So they may put it off about our ears.
Because it is a small problem for them.
They may even ignore us when they read out the 6.1 patch.
But we will not be disappointed.
Many times SE has changed its policy based on our requests.
Mr. Yoshida said, "It is difficult, it may not be possible.
However, there have been many times when he then made an effort and made it happen.
FF14 is a big project with a large number of creators involved.
It takes time to hear our voices, put them together, and decide on a policy.
It will take even more time to give it shape.
It will take more time for us to see it.
In the meantime, I'll be daydreaming with you all about a fun future.
I am sure we will get a good result in the end.
Thank you.

Some people seem to feel insulted about the attitude of Mr. Yoshida and Mr. Murochi in LL.
I believe this is a misunderstanding.
When Yoshida-san is making excuses about his ears, he is not looking at the camera.
I think this is because he is not confident in what his staff has created.
Because when he has made something good, he is very imposing.
Mr. Mullouch is smiling because he is ashamed that he did not produce sufficient results.
Or I think it is to comfort us.
Of course I don't know what is in their hearts, but I don't want to believe that they had bad intentions.
I want to believe them.
They have gone to great lengths to build trust with us.

I understand people trying to be respectful and saying wait….but y’all have been waiting for 3 years. If they can’t make 6 hairstyles work properly in THREE YEARS, what hope do we have for anything else? They weren’t putting much time into headgear either since y’all can’t wear that so what exactly were they doing. This is as bad as the healer situation where we’re told to wait and be patient. Nothings changed in 6 years it’s gotten worse actually, and i can see hrothgar being the same.

I could be entirely off base here, but to me that read like he was saying they were looking for ways to add things to the races easier/faster, not cut development on the races entirely.

By that point they hadn't added a thing so there wasn't really anything to cut.

[yamaoyaji]

Yeah, I’m sorry. I just saw a few of them aren’t really comfortable with English people commenting over there, I got carried away… not gonna lie his comment staggered me a little bit, I feel awkward now. I got carried away

The ENG forums are pretty much a mod-forsaken place, I liked the thought of carrying over our ideas/hearing their opinions and brainstorm, because a lot of people in the ENG forum have amazing suggestions that I want the developers to see

In my opinion, you were not rude. Please do not be discouraged.
He just didn't want his topic to be buried in a topic that he had no interest in.
Or he was simply poking fun at you for being distressed.
But we need to be very careful.
An incomplete conversation with incomplete words may lead to misunderstandings.
That is very unfortunate.
I know that you all have no animosity toward us. It is only natural.
But not all Japanese forums are like that, really unfortunately.
I am sharing your concerns with my friends in Japan.
That is as far as I can understand, and I will be careful not to misunderstand.
I hope that we can share our concerns with our Japanese friends.
What my friends did was rude behavior. I sincerely apologize. I am sorry.
I appreciate your "like". Thank you!

Imagine grinding tomestones for the earring only for you to not be able to use it the day the event ends.

謝らなくてもいい
このような状況では、日本の掲示板でもっと慎重にコメントする必要がありました。ここに投稿していただきありがとうございます、あなたの文章が理解できました。ここに投稿するのは自由です。

There's no need to apologize, we should have been more thoughtful before we posted on the Japanese forums. Thank you for posting here, I can read your translations clearly. You are free to post here whenever you want!

They were discussing that? Wow. No wonder. Were they even spending a lot in the first place?! They weren't doing hairs, they weren't doing the majority of headgear, etc. and they needed to lower costs MORE?! I think they should increase development costs for these two races!

"We're not sparing any expenses going forward."
