VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Agreed. For a race thats suppose to be so beastial, they really did skimp out on the beast like attributes...except for that damn hunch. No feet claws at all, their actual claws tied to their race specific glove, their emotes, while charming and shows that Hrothgar are actually gentleman, lack that beast like charm (look at charr. They sleep, stretch, and act like cats). The only "beast type" emotes they have are their pose (*HISSSSSS*) and their dance....which...IDKWTF they're doing and its almost embarrassing to look at....

I wish their idle animations were them twitching their noses, their lookout emote was them moving their ears around to scan the area, their doze emote was them lying down and curling up like a cat....there are so many things I wish Hrothgar had gotten, but didn't T_T

Even the NPCs dont display this...they're actually large cat men who cry about missing their families and one of them likes to make you and your friends soup

Ugh...why did you say all that...now Im actually upset about it XD
There is so much they missed out on with the Hrothgar.
Still love 'em to death, still eager and stoked for Females, but there is just so much they could have done....

We can be upset together about what could have been

As a fan of big cat bois (thanks, Housamo), I am pretty disappointed by the treatment of Hrothgar in FFXIV by SE.
Also, all of this talk about beastly characteristics (or lack thereof) made me realize how "human" FFXIV Viera look. I actually like the "monster feet" they had from previous games, but I understand that would complicate things in this particular game, where you can play a Viera and change their clothes.

in fact, it wouldn't be that complicated. Most boots already have heels, and the rest would have to be a bit of work to adapt existing shoes.

Nothing too complicated, we have examples of MMORPGs smaller than FFXIV that made it happen. Another example of a large MMORPG that manages to do this is WoW, where it has characters with paws, hooves, monstrous feet, and even skeletal ones.

Also, like many other things already mentioned, the community has already made vieras and hrothgars have paws, and adapted a series of shoes for them.

Exactly this. They don't seem to be showing any sign of going back on their initial intent of not giving them hats. I said this in more detail in a post of mine in the actual outfit thread, they could probably spend some time and make hat hair, and/or make more hats available, but they really seem to just not want to do it. I'm sure they are well aware these players want hats to be shown.

yes, in fact the currently released hair not being adapted for hats is a shot in my heart, and a proof that they are not even trying. But it's like I said before, since they didn't fulfill the previous promises, so I'm going to scream for having at least one race with the same "rights" as the others.

Really? That actually makes me feel even more sad. If we can't get hats, it would nice to at least get paws (and claws) for V/H. Didn't they promise unique features for both to make up for the lack of hats? I may have misinterpreted what they meant.

They could add the option of having paws or not. I would buy a fantasia just to change those ridiculous feet into paws as it should have been.
