VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[ronibosch]

Lol! A lot of people did think they were being trolled. I knew it wasn't though. Quality has been dropping for awhile now, even prior to Covid, it's what got us these races in the state they were in in the first place!

That's nice to read! Oh, now don't tell anyone, but I still consider myself a viera player. Anything not viera I am playing is just a placeholder. I made and adjusted some viera presets just this morning! I have to fight the urge quite often to switch back to viera.. I still care about viera as a race! Not all hope is lost! Keep giving feedback and hope that SE will finally listen! We want quality, and more headgear options available! See sometimes I can be optimistic!

Hehehe. That pep talk does make me feel a little better.

Just don't let SE ever think we are content with this situation of getting low quality hairs, and being left out of headgear (events, premium outfits, iconic pieces, etc.). Doing so is a sure way to never see improvements made. Ignore me when I am venting or going woe is me.. I have some obsessive tendencies, and apparently anxiety issues as well. I truly want this game and this race in particular to get better, and SE should never think the quality seen above is okay.

Oh, if you saw me as a viera, you ever notice something about my current miqo'te? She looks quite a bit like some of my veena presets.

Yeah, I don't want to get complacent with this. FFXIV and the FF series as a whole is too good for this low quality, in my opinion. No problem. If you need to vent, vent. I totally get it though, if the backlash you receive gets tiring. I also have anxiety issues as well. Even posting in the forums makes me feel self conscious, since the meaning of words sometimes don't translate well in text.
I hope a lot of these problems can be resolved, so that you can be a Viera again. I was almost tempted to go back to Lalafell (I played one during the free trial), but I can't part with my Viera just yet. :'(

Enjoy viera! It isn't like it was when I played it the most, even if viera shared hairs are of relatively low quality, there are still a few that look good, even that 2b hair can look good. I noticed we are on the same world, maybe we will run into each other one of these days! I'll probably be afk though.

I long for the day I can be a viera and they are actually a FULL race, but I'd take them with some more quality hair options (I'd love a few more racial unique!), and some iconic headpieces made available. Be careful you don't fall into the fantasia trap, you could end up like I did, spending hundreds on fantasias switching back and forth.. Even one fantasia is too much of an incentive for them to not fix them, for that matter!

Thanks! I'm enjoying it so far, although sometimes there are some warrior/fending helms I wish I could wear. It hasnt ruined my entertainment of the game, fortunately.

I actually saw you at the Gold Saucer once, but I didn't want to be a weirdo and say, "Hey! I saw some of your posts on the forums!" Now, if I run into you, it won't be as awkward. Lol.

I wish I could draw better, because it would be a fun exercise to brainstorm unique hairs for Viera, both male and female. Of course, some of the previous FF games have a few good ideas. I would recommend SE to throw a hair contest exclusively for Viera and Hrothgar, but I heard that those don't turn out well.

I miss Pyros Elemental fending and maiming helms

Sometime tells me that, if I continue being a tank main as I level up, I'll be a very sad bunny. Those helms you mentioned are -chef's kiss-.

It's unfortunate about certain headpieces that could make or break a glam. I know a lot of people are sad about their RDM hats in particular!

Aww, should have said hello! Just don't start talking to me about glams... I'll never shut up.

Yes, I have said this before myself as well. I have some ideas in mind for hairs, hairs in general really, but I don't think I have the skill to really bring them to life. A hair contest for viera and hrothgar could turn out well. It'd at least show that SE cared, even if the ideas are coming from the community!

this is because vieras had paws, not feet, in other games in the franchise. But Square Memex proved too incompetent to create them in FFXIV, where in addition to not being able to make helmets for us, they didn't make the paws so they wouldn't have to remodel the shoes too.

This is one thing I am happy they didn't take from previous viera design. The feet just looked weird, in my opinion. Plus viera do get foot gear out of the deal. Said all this before though.

I know I'm part of a minority that prefers paws over feet. But it could be optional: choose between feet or paws. But what to expect from a company that wouldn't even be able to make glasses for vieras, if it weren't for the employees working the day off. What about a poor beard for Hyur, where they had to make a new face just for that? Shame...

I'm wanting the new WoW expansion to take all the glory out of FFXIV, so maybe SE will wake up

Yeah. It's one reason why I haven't leveled a good chunk of my mage jobs yet. RDM and BLM look so incomplete without their hats. It's a travesty, is what it is. :'(

I'll make sure to say hello next time. I've been all over the place, doing MSQ and getting sidetracked by beast tribes and job leveling. Lol. Aww... The glamor community of FFXIV is pretty interesting, though! I think it's a good exercise in creativity.

A hair contest is probably the best bet for Viera and Hrothgar at this point, honestly. I'm hoping they don't cut corners in quality, though.
