New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

You know, I'm probably in the minority for this, but I actually kinda like the hunchback. I think it adds a little extra something, a little crudeness that brings out the beasty-side of the Hrothgar.
Then again, I'm a fan of people being of a variety in general, which is why I love the idea of PSO2:NGS, and the ability to change anything from a character's idle stance to tongue shape. So a small thing like the hunchback just feels like good flavor, for me.

That said, yeah: mods offer a lot for Hrothgar that Squeen probably never will. It's a shame, too, because there's so much potential there.

Here's the thing. You're free to like the hunchback. I look at GW2 and I LIKE IT that the Charr have the hunchback, it feels organic.

The problem with FF14's hunchback though? It doesn't look organic. It doesn't feel natural in any way. It looks like I'm struggling to take a dump right there and then. And that's the problem. In their attempt to make the race look "animalistic", they're applying stuff that doesn't fit on Roegadyn. And we do very much have play-do roe bodies. So it comes off as really poorly made.

If we are to have a hunchback, at least make sure it fits. Make sure the race actually feels animalistic as clearly it's intended to. And not like I need imodium.
