VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Kolsykol]

Honestly I dunno why they couldn't just accept the help of modders if they're having issue fitting it into their schedule.
I am sure there's modders that would love to help them.

I don't really see that. Au Ra and Miqo'te look like young adults to me. I just like viera more for a bunch of reasons. I can just imagine how great some of their unique hairs could be if SE actually put the time and resources into making it a reality!

Yeah Fem Au Ra and Miqo'te stand at 5'3 and 5'4 respectively and look like early to mid 20s. It's just skewed because of the amount of taller/beefier races. Also Viera occupy the same space as Elezen so comparisons to Au Ra/Miqo'te are odd.

this is my issue. I know im in the like, minor here being an RPer/someone who writes a backstory for their character. But Vartra is OLD, like, in his early 50s. I cant easily fanta him into something like an Au Ra if I wanna keep the 'bestial', or the Veira : (

So with the upcoming dandelion fluffy male hair, the female hair with the braid in the back and the unisex side pony it looks like they are simultaneously working on the oldest and newest hair files, not “choosing” specific styles.

Going forward, depending on the frequency of releases it might be possible to guesstimate how long it’ll take for specific hair :3

I feel like I have to use mods to play my favorite race and have it look decent too, and it sucks. Real bad.

It feels like because Hrothgar isn't played a lot devs do not care, but the reason people wont go Hroth is because its so limited in the first place, so its just a never ending circle of disappointment.

Male Au Ra face 4 (the one with the scale mustache)I believe has a very middle aged vibe. The one most players don't use, but it's the best least anime face.

Beside the little fact it's always nicer to represent the character to others as you see him? Mods are pretty much a one sided show, sadly.


And what I read several times in all that discussions...
We are not really talking about rewarding the devs in the worst case scenario, and buy fantasia to turn into other races? *confused scratching*

i don't know what else we're expected to do. it's immensely frustrating to be treated like garbage

if it weren't something that could get us banned AND could only be applied to certain characters, i'd at the very least would consider it.
it doesn't feel right changing how someone else looks and depending on the mod it can be just downright creepy.


so vanilla it is for me. i'll just... stick with my default hair on my hroth alt i guess, unfortunately.

There are ways to apply it only to certain characters. I won't describe them here because I don't think I'm even allowed to elaborate any further xD but that information is out there. I only know it because what I see other players talk about, so I assume that information is accessible. Still, obligatory "don't do mods kids" to keep it ToS friendly.

But it's still an awkward situation all around. There is a solution for this, but Square not only rejects it, they tell people to stay away from it. Yet these things should be considered into Vanilla. Because I get it, a lot of mods out there aren't viable at all for the tone Square Enix wants to keep for their game. But if there are people fixing their stuff for them like this, they could at least consider that sort of work.
