VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SturmChurro]

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.

I don't generally use hats, so I get by. Also funny, since most of the headgear I use is usable by viera, so no headgear doesn't really directly affect me. Yes, it is! I've always thought that viera should have gotten some iconic job pieces, like the RDM hats!

Yep, there is a lot of stuff to do for sure, your first run through. You should take your time and enjoy it! I'll be here afk wherever. It is! But people don't like it when I start spamming them paragraphs about my thought process or opinions on glamours! I have a tendency to start spamming chats, some of my discord friends can probably attest to this.. I love making glamours though. Just this morning I was thinking of more pieces this game NEEDS. Glamour and customizing my character is probably the main reason I play the game, and I will spend literal hours in an inn room going back and forth with pieces or hair... Uh, I will cut the glamour talk short here.

They need to STOP cutting corners in quality, in my opinion. That's where a lot of these issues arise. If they were making custom hairs, you'd think it would fit relatively well for viera... and hrothgar too.. Viera in particular NEEDS more actual viera hair. There's still a lot of viera hairs from past games even that they could do that would look great!

My controversial opinion is that all iconic hats and headgear should be available to all races. I saw they accomplished it with reaper, so I'm certain they could try their hand at the older iconic headgear.

Lol! Have you made an album of glamour screenshots? There are so many cute items on the online store; I have to hide my credit card to resist the urge to buy things I don't need. They would make some cute glamours, though.

I heard from some veteran players that the dip in quality is reminiscent to 1.0, before Yoshi P came along to save the day. That's...concerning.

I don't think it's controversial at all, because Yoshida did say in an initial statement that they would make more headgear available over time.. Iconic headgear AT LEAST should be a given, like come on! These are signature sets, and the hats for them, like for RDM, BLM, etc.. are a huge part of the look! So I will keep pushing for iconic headpieces AT LEAST. I'd also like event headgear to actually be made available..

I should make an album, but I think I'd have to retake all my shots. I think a lot of what I have done is pretty poorly shot. I am still practicing with gpose. I should probably compile them somewhere though. If you are curious most of my stuff, that I chose to show, is in the show your* viera thread, miqo'te threads, or au ra thread. I usually only post in them to post my glamours, or compliment people.

It definitely is concerning. I personally started noticing it the most with ShB, but it's probably been happening for awhile. I hadn't really experienced as much of the game prior to that. I started playing this game in HW, but had some RL issues throughout it and Stormblood that kept me from playing for long periods quite often. Like several months at a time, these weren't voluntary breaks. Well, I did play a decent amount of Stormblood, but I was still settling in at the time.

Right? I'll keep my fingers crossed! Also, I know a good chunk of people dislike the Heavensturn helms, but I actually find them cute. I have a soft spot for kitschy stuff. Saw a Roe the other day wearing one, and it made me green with envy. I should have complimented him. :')

I'll check out your screenshots in those threads, then. I forgot to say: I love your Viera presets! I never noticed until now the subtle differences between Rava and Veena, besides their skin colors. I might try my hand at making a Veena, just for fun.

I'll keep that in mind once I reach ShB. I'm almost there, kinda! I'm glad to hear (or at least assume) that things are better in RL for you. Here's to hoping that 6.2 and beyond give us a pleasant surprise.

Even if it's ugly, it's only fair that people get SOMETHING for an event.. that they can see..

Yeah, there's not much of a difference, but there is a difference between the two clans for sure. I like both, but it really depends on my mood for a preset. I'd assume the differences are the same for male viera, but I haven't made any presets for them since the benchmark came out.

You'll probably enjoy ShB. It's still a good, contained, story. My issues are with other things, you would kind of have to have been there.. waiting.. two and a half years.. for hairs you thought you were "of course" going to get.. Three for hrothgar, and you know how that ended..

I agree. It's a no brainer that they would make more money if they made purchaseable hats compatible for all races. Also, if an event item is a piece of headgear, it shouldn't be too much trouble to have it work for everyone. But, I guess the time, effort, and use of resources isn't worth it to them...

I'm seeing more Viera players in Excalibur as of late, so hopefully the surge in their popularity will be noticed by the devs. I don't know how V/H representation looks in the Japanese servers, though.

I'm questioning exactly how much time and effort it would take for them to make it compatible. We are talking about the OCCASIONAL event piece, or iconic hat even. Like, seriously SE?

Yeah, not only on Excalibur, but primal in general I have seen a decent amount of vieras, and that's part of the reason I switched back to one! I bought the new jacket, and it just looked so good on vieras.. I can be kind of impulsive, and people in here really got me sad enough.. I just wanted to be one again! Regardless, I think viera - both male and female - are quite popular, and I've heard that male viera are very popular in Japan. They have to have data showing quite well that viera are popular, but that could be both a blessing and a curse, because they might take that as players being content. If they weren't so limited, they'd be more popular.
