[U]nstylish: Lack of Effort in Viera & Hrothgar Hairstyle Releases

[Veen]

But aren’t the japanese players coming over to our forums and making posts? I don’t see why that’s acceptable and the vice versa isn’t?

Prolly because it's way easier to make understandable quotes in english than japanese, We're more likely to botch their language than them.

That is not a Japanese, just a Chinese player with fluent Japanese
This is their typical method trying to make game company to make change, this is not Japanese style of opposing.

Saw a twitter thread from a modder pointing out that hrothgar are the only race besides hyur where the ears are actually attached to the head.

Which means they had to make whole new head models to have no ears with these hairs.

So lack of effort is probably the wrong term, there was effort. They literally went out of their way to look incompetent, they intentionally did this.

Even if that's the case, it's trivial to resolve. One can very easily just remove the ears and close the gaps left behind or better yet, not even bother closing the gaps because the hair would cover the holes in their head anyway and then just literally copy-paste the ears onto the hair models.

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

They made a whole new head model without ears. When they could have just left the ears there, or added ears to the new model.

They intentionally chose not to do so even though it would have been less work, or in the new head model case, trivial to add.

Baffling and infuriating imo.

It doesn't, especially in context-heavy languages like Japanese. Japanese is incredibly idiomatic, and the mere sentence structure you use, or the use of a certain word to express an idea as simple as "me and you" can come off as inappropriate in the wrong context.

But if nothing else works, might as well go there and hope they see it, right? ...except Square will know it's us and ignore it either way. If anything just from seeing our profiles before reading awkward grammar.

Alternatively, JP players aren't happy with us going to their forum because it could give off the wrong impression or drown their voices out.

Which ironically would be an incentive for SE to pay more attention here to avoid that scenario, which should not be the case in the first place if they were paying proper attention to this side of the forum.

Hey you guys wanted these races. This is just the monkey paw closing one of its fingers.

Mate, you're a Male Miqo'te. Your race only exists because players demanded it. Same for Female Roegadyn. If you're going to go for that argument, see if you're not the pot calling the kettle black. You're just lucky it didn't happen to you, that's all there is to it. It doesn't prevent people from being sympathetic or feeling empathy toward others.

Assuming it's a JP player to begin with. According to Divinemights it could be a CN player. And I don't know how much they actually pay attention to the foreign forums past what they claim to.

But one thing is certain: regardless of how vocal people have been, the prevailing sentiment has been that these hairstyles are not okay. That should count for something.

More like a compromise that has no reason to be needed.

Also what was said above.

11 years ago this was us, mate. Be grateful the worst SE did to you was give you messed up claw hands.
