VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Denji]

SE assumed wrong. One person even created a topic just to complain about this helmet. I particularly prefer to keep all posts related to this type of complaint here, since that's how we got the male viera.

I can imagine something like "these aren't cute and Viera only care about being cute so I imagine nobody will complain" being the justification.

It's sad... This set only seems complete with the helmet, and it's so closed that it would be enough to copy Hyur's model, and put the ears on top. The saddest thing is that I have no doubt that the community will be able to do this quickly.

Now hear me out, they could design more outfits/ armors/ helmets/ headgear around Viera & Hrothgar instead of trying to force them into gear that wasn't really intended for them

Viera head geometry isn't even that different from non limited races.

I think it's actually the crown spikes. "Quality control" seems to only matter if it means fitting a headpiece to viera or something like that.

Sorry, but after so long waiting for something, I really don't believe they will do something like that anymore. They never promised helmets for both races, true, but promised exclusive hair to make up for it. 3 years and nothing.
At this point, I just want to wear my redmage or bard hat; having my Noctis hair again; buy something at mogstation, without having to be afraid that it won't work for my race; make an event and not frustrate me because the reward is a hair or a hat that doesn't fit me...
Since they changed the idea of giving unique hair, and started making old hair, they might as well start to at least remove the restrictions on the new helmets.

No, they wouldn't do it. They don't even do ear holes for their most popular race miqo'te, and barely ever put even a bowtie to cover up tail clipping. They won't do custom headpieces for a limited race they don't seem to actually care much about. It'd be nice, and I've even said they should do it, but I don't kid myself into thinking that they would ever do it.

You simply cannot expect that from Indie developers! /s

That would be a dream. I did have a thought about a week ago; what if SE brought in a Hrothgar and Viera NPC to hang out in major cities as a 'hat maker' who are able sell headgear to Viera and Hrothgar? I'm not talking about an extensive variety, but at first just the basics such as RDM hat, BLM hat and then they can continue from there... If our heads are as 'unique' as they keep saying, and if they are persistent on flaking out on our race-exclusive hairs, I don't see why we can't have a fair compromise. Just so we can at least look the part of the classic FF classes. I'd still like my ears poking through though - the level 89 reaper hood made it look so perfect.

I know the whole scenario of us getting more headgear is unlikely, but I still like to imagine.

Viera would be the perfect race if they got the attention they deserve. Custom headgear, custom hairstyles, more heels, etc. What could be..
