New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[aveyond-dreams]

At this point hrothgar are more limited then blue with losing their ears to the wigs. And since they are losing their ears the earrings also dont show like hats.

The moment players let them get away with them adding the word "Limited" to this game's vocabulary is when we saw all number of problems occur. The decisions made in that era of troubles in late 2018/early 2019 continue to haunt us to this day, from Blue Mage to the current state of Viera and Hrothgar in the year

2022. Goodness.

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.

Honestly, now is NOT the time to have the patience of a saint. I get what you are saying, and I understand the limitations that Yoshi P and the team have had to work with for years. But this entire fiasco is inexcusable on so many levels, to the point that even I have become concerned about the game's future. I feel disrespected by the dev team right now. This is not okay. I've had enough of that from dealing with the WoW dev team. I don't want or need it here.

They are responsible for the limitations, they have, sorry. It seems, that the game designers are mentally still in the Playstation 3 era. They desperately try to save polygons here and there. And even completely new content has still low resolution textures and bad pixel shaders. I guess, it is an internal policy for the game designers, that they have to act like the game should still run on the PS3.

But this is a management problem and not a technical one. Those "technical problems" are very easy to fix.

Its honestly a coding issue, and they made mention of that briefly. Also these are common hairstyles that all races can wear; they'll have to design more hairstyles that only works with Hrothgars, and I can only hope that will come out when the female Hroths appear. These hairstyles are just something extra for the time being for what I see.

So it wasn't a joke ..

So... patch notes are in and...
"Regardless of your progression in the main scenario, these changes will be available when creating new characters, editing your character's appearance using Fantasia, or hiring a retainer."
We really need to still pay real world money when other races don't have to do so in order to change hairstyles. Fun stuff, still no ears so you have to pay to get your ears removed.

"* Certain options that were previously designated as facial features, such as bangs and sideburns, have been moved to the hairstyle section."
So they'll just call those as new hairstyles when they were already existing as pre-options currently.
Edit: But... "hairstyle section", then we do have now a hairstyle section or it's still tied to the face??

"New facial features have been added."
...literally replacing the bangs and sideburns with random cuts in the face?

I guess that they really don't care about the feedback that has been talked since April 1st then?

[SturmChurro]

Looks at above post.

Oh god, I can't wait until the patch day so I'll finally stop seeing these awful takes... I wish I could enter cryo sleep until tuesday!

Hmm..

[Minali]

I guess that they really don't care about the feedback that has been talked since April 1st then?

Makes me wonder if they have even bothered to read the feedback...

I am not sure what they mean with the hairstyle section now though, does this mean we can at least adjust that much with Jandelaine now, not just the colours...? Or that they are not exclusive for certain types of head shapes anymore?
