VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SturmChurro]

I believe that all races that have more "beastly" traits are getting the "money saving" treatment. Of course, Vieras and Hrothgars are the most apparent, but now even the Miqo'tes are having their ears cropped off their hats.

Yep, and it's horrifying. Miqo'te just don't look right in a lot of hats, without ear holes. Free the ears SE! Also the tails.. So less capes!

to be honest, i love bestial races. The further from human, the better for me. But in FFXIV we don't have the option of being anything but a human with animal ears.
Even though the hrothgar is the only option, the fact that he has feet, is hunchbacked, and his emotes demonstrate that they are silly and docile creatures, makes me stay away from the race. I chose Viera for the lore of them being recluses, a more tribal/savage population...

These days I saw on twitter an art of an au'ra with dragon paws. It made me so much wish they were like that.

I can't stand playing full on bestial races. I never play them ever in any game. I've literally never played a khajiit or argonian in any of the ES. I just like to play elves and humans mostly, but this game lacks a proper elf race (I don't like to play elezen; too hard to glamour). Heck, I never play short races either. In crpgs and stuff, like DnD, I say NO to gnomes, dwarves, halflings, whatever else! If viera and hrothgar had paws or animal feet in this game, they would also have no handgear or footgear.

This scares me a lot. I was going to make a thread talking about how SE has been leaving details aside and how they could fix capes on characters with tails, but seeing how the community here acts when someone criticizes their pet company, I preferred not to waste time.

Coming from SE, we'd really run out of shoes anyway, which is sad. But I can't help but be annoyed that Vieras and Hrothgars don't have the paws they had in other games.

I actually have a thread I made about tailed races and capes.

Personally, I wouldn't want the unique limbs for viera either way. I think they look better in this game. Their feet look particularly weird in the other game.

As they had promised that Vieras and Hrothgars would have exclusive features, they might as well add that as an option. I'd really pay a Fantasia just to switch from feet to paws. But it's like you said, coming from SE, they are quite capable of leaving paws with no option to wear shoes.

I remember a topic like this... I remember writing that to solve the cape problem: just cut them in half, so the tail would pass through the cut.

Their 'exclusive' features are their unique heads though. I think it would be a guarantee there would be no footgear. If they aren't doing earholes for miqo'te, no way do I think would they adjust footwear for that.

I just think they should do less capes. Tons of pieces have capes this expansion. It's awful. They made a couple capes split, but the worst they can do is simply remove the tail. That's one thing I definitely don't want normalized.
