VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[ronibosch]

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

peanut hrothgar

I was messing around in the aesthetician the other day to change things up, and funnily enough there are a couple of 'new' hairs that give Viera something of a peanut shape as well. Not at my PC to grab screenshots but man. I can't unsee it.

A mod that should be official

There aren't enough good high-heeled shoes available for female Viera (with a heel close to as high as their starting gear)

I didn't care until I read up on Viera lore, and discovered that they need high heel because of how their legs and feet are structured.
So I want my bunny-ladies to have comfortable shoes, and for them that means really high heels.
Charming as the Viera sandals are, they don't go well, IMHO, with a lot of other gear.

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-.

Elemental fending and maiming gear look very Garlean which is why they're my favs!

I'm a fan of the horns.

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.

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 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.
