To be serious it would be possible, but they'd also need to change all the animations ( at least for emotes , and maybe attack idle ) for hrothgar to include some kind of movement on the ear, since it's kinda too small to simply slap physics on it imo.

I hope they figure out something soon because I'm struggling to put as much effort into the game as I used to when it just feels like the devs are neglecting so much.

Not sure if moderators can check but I've barely played since the update and I haven't bothered logging into my JP-only account since then either.

Just. Not even like, being a baby about it. Just... low morale.

Why play a game that's being ran by people not interested in putting in the bare minimum amount of effort, you know? I just feel disappointed and annoyed.

inb4 "you're upset about pixels" no i'm upset that i'm paying for a service that is not only the quality i didn't expect but i'm also being lied to about why said quality is so poor, too.

but it would've been cute seeing them, perk up with the /shocked emote or something, you know, like real rabbits do, or Hrothgar bending theirs backwards when angry, idk.

Oh no, I understand where you're coming from.

It's just that I hold the Viera from XII very dear to my heart, they were emotionless and not expressive with their face let alone their ears. But it's chill, we'll just agree to disagree

I don't mean them to be all wobbly like the fox headband, I know how distracting that can be, but it would've been cute seeing them, perk up with the /shocked emote or something, you know, like real rabbits do, or Hrothgar bending theirs backwards when angry, idk.

There's already a ton of infantalized female races, I'd rather not go down the "rabbit hole" of cute expressive ears. Also I believe viera are more like hares, which seems less expressive, not to mention that animating these ears would also be a pain.

Hard agree, and, also, this is a thread about Hrothgar hairstyles, not so much how Viera ears react during emotes.

In an ideal world, your character would act the way you like.

In a normal world I would have some control over my appearance and people would perform at least cursory glances at hairstyles and not shove out 6 crappy ones and then have the gall to suggest they weren’t given feedback after railroading through the ugliest, most insulting, chunkiest garbage to the fans who had waited the longest to even be noticed.

In the darkest timeline (and yet, ironically, lightest hairline) we’d have crap like this happening:

And right now, we’re in the darkest timeline.

So if we can keep all our appendages inside the thread, refrain from talking a whole crapton about how Viera emotes cause their ears to react, or making bone-ears jokes, talking about translation ambiguities that don’t change anything and keep it on topic, I’d personally appreciate it.

Because all I asked for for Christmas was the hairstyles already available on my race, and what I got was a toupee for a headcrab, I haven’t heard anything from the dev team in a hot minute, and I was kicked out for emergency maintenance last night and haven’t logged in yet, am pretty much certain that it’s not because someone suddenly was sorry Hrothgar got done dirty.

The reason why I voiced my concern about the lack of feedback is because you're not actually telling the moderator what you want out of this. Everyone's worked so hard to grab SE's attention but instead of voicing what is it they would like, everyone's continuing the whole "These hairstyles are terrible, SE is a bad company because of x, y and z, 6.1 is ruined" only a handful of people have openly said that they would like more race specific hairstyles, or for SE to just rework the Hrothgar model ... I don't understand what your aim is by continuously calling SE out for their contradicting statements. Bare in mind, I've been more than vocal on the unfairness of the situation, I just don't want to see everyone waste their opportunity because they're caught up in a mob mentality and can't stop.

We have given it. Most of us have made suggestions in this and the viera/hroth megathread.
I personally have spoken about shorter hairstyles and ones with larger braids and have agreed with others about the GW2 ones that put square's to shame.

All I see from you is whining that we're just complaining when Yoshi-P himself told us to talk about these issues on the forum.

With how profitable FFXIV is been since endwalker release i'm sure they could spare a minuscule amount of that profit into someone capable and interested on do Hrothgars good.

Hells if Yoship could open a crowdfund since SE rather invest in NFTs and failed liveservices games, i'm sure they would get more than enough money in less than an hour.

Firstly, my comment wasn't directed at you, I don't want to have multiple conversations at once in a thread. Secondly, hardly whining - you have a habit of being hyperbolic when it comes to other people's comments, so I'm not sure what else to say to you.
For the past week I've seen nothing but callouts on SE's incapability when it comes to these races, which is fair enough but I've seen little to nothing about what you all want out of this. No need to turn on me when I was just voicing my concern.

You want a private conversation? Take it to notes/PMs. Don't get snippy at me because you shouted in a public discussion and the public shouted back.
