VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SherlottaEryut]

I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing, continuing to ask that we get what we deserve in this game, regardless if I think they will actually ever do it or not. It seems they will relent, like with hrothgar. If we came together and asked for custom viera styles, we could get them. Maybe even more custom headgear. It isn't impossible. Hrothgar players rejected their new hairstyles, and Yoshida, even if he says it will take time, is willing to do custom hairs due to the backlash. I can be pretty negative at times, like earlier, but I actually just want the best for the game and the race.

We're in this together. I will also continue here tormenting SE, as I did with the male viera and the female hrothgar. At this point, my signature is nothing more than a place of protest.

I keep pining to be Viera again, but them and hrothgar just need to go back into the oven and rebake, a whole patch dedicated to just fixing the issues derived from the race coming out premature, it's especially concerning with the wanted update to the graphics of races and such they are looking at long term.

Still sad both genders couldn't get those feet and the inhuman short waist and long limbed proportions... the feet I can see being troublesome, but it's odd since Elezen/Elvaan are known for their long limbs and long necks and they got those carried over just fine.

This is mighty sweet, thank you all for your continued support and I'm really glad everyone's on the same page, it's always reassuring coming across those who have the same opinion as me on the matter Hopefully one day this can be acknowledged by the developers sooner or later, and both Viera and Hrothgar will be the standard we desire. I'll always hold out hope that maybe one day, we can get an item that gives us an Ivalician Viera appearance... Constantly wearing my claws of the beast and default Viera sandles are okay, but it's still not good enough for me to be honest - it's not convinced me that my character is from Eruyt village.

I am right with you
I want to be a Viera so, so much. But, they just don't look how I had hoped- they look incomplete to me- I wish they had the same ears as they did in XII, As well as the spots at the tips.
I want them to have more unique outfits (like the ones you see Mjrn wear & other viera in XII) Many have different outfits & armors in that game. I want to see more shoes/ boots that give them their odd feet back.
The fluffy/ wild hair they have in XII & tactics art- where is that in XIV? I want to be able to choose the ear diadem/ headgear you see Mjrn wear & Fran wear on all hairstyles.

It won't happen but one can wish.

I was quite surprised at the ears too! I was hoping for an option with no extra fluff but spots on the top...
But yes, yes and much yes! That all sounds so ideal. I often look at the Viera's previous appearances photos in the FF series, and they always have such defining outfits and characteristics that make them stand out so much, instead of being a 'human but with rabbit ears'... Their appearance in XIV are okay, but it doesn't have the same feel.

I've been at it for three years on here, a broken record really. It's actually crazy to think back how long it has been now. I need to switch back to viera, but I feel dirty about needing to give them another $10 to play my true race.

I still have a spark of hope that viera can get better. Sooner than later. I'm probably being naive.

The fantasia itching is here again for me too :/ I’m going crazy lol (150ish € on fantasia since Viera release…), changing my mind every two weeks.

I love Viera, this race fits me very much, but there’s always a point when I start to miss my hats or I’m getting frustrated by clipping issues on some hairstyles with some circlets, etc.
My husband always encouraged me to keep her despite of limitations, because he sees I really do love her.

This is why this thread has all my support as well ! I want to be a bunny and stand one !

I recommend you put something related in the forum signature. When we asked for the male viara, and the female hrothgar, there were a lot of people with the signature asking for it.
It's like I said before: a silent protest, in every post you make.

Yes, time to run my Photoshop again, I think !

I feel that, on the fantasia cost. i think I've spent probably a minimum of.. triple (probably more actually) that since viera release, but that's kind of a me problem too. I just like to use fantasias. A lot of my fantasias were going from rava to veena, plus I buy fantasias for my alt I don't play as well.

Yep, viera are great. I pretty much like everything about them - both rava and veena - except for their limitations. Circlets float on regular races too, but it's not as bad. One big problem for me is that I also like my au ra, a lot. Funnily enough, I actually use less hairstyles as au ra, than I do as viera. Still, I'm at a point where I want to stop giving SE so much money. I don't believe SE deserves much more of my money on this, as it only encourages them to keep the limitations as is. As they are making more than enough money off people like us who switch back and forth. I'd really rather stop using fantasias as a viera permanently, with a host of quality hairstyles - maybe even some pretty custom ones too.

Exactly right! As do I. I want to be a bunny, and I want the race to get the attention it deserves. Hrothgar too.

Yes, pretty much all of this.
I'm like you, tired to give them money and money again ; the fantasias adding on top of all glamours I bought (that's ok for the glam and since my glamour dresser is full I stopped by anything glamour related a couple of months ago), that is a lot of money.

I just want, like you say, stay Viera and giving up on fantasias forever ; but with the current limitations, this is a real struggle.

(I went back and forth MANY times, from my orignal Rava to Au ra, to my Veena to Hyur, to Hyur to Veena, To Veena to Hyur... enough of this nonsense ! That money will be better put on mounts or glams.)

I thank you for creating this topic. I will continue with the support here as I believe that what we are asking for is nothing outside the curve, it is just what is fair.

As for the viera, I agree with you. I would love to have at least the rabbit's feet that the vieras had in the other games. For now, all I can do is look at images from the community (who made this happen) and dream.
