VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Siddiax]

I remember someone posting this image in the early days when we knew about the limitations of vieras. Indeed some hats could just hide the ears, because they are so big that we could imagine that the ears are inside them.

I see literally no reason why they cannot make it so bigger hats just hide ears altogether. The smallest possible Viera ears are nowhere as big as to use "they won't fit inside" as a reason.

I saw nothing about it but some people said that the new 6.2 hairs won't work in viera/hroth based on some datamining.
big yikes if true

How has that been datamined already? I agree it is a big yikes and damn. I was hoping to be able to fantasia back if vieras got more hairstyles. I miss my girl so much.

It's apparently been in the files for a while, probably because it's the ponytail some NPC's have used already. I read it's flagged for every races except Viera (I haven't seen any mention of Hrothgar specifically so while it's technically possible, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they can't use it either.)

It's possible it'll change before release, but the Lyse hair was found weeks before it released and it was flagged for Viera right off the bat, so I'm not super hopeful.

Seriously, it hasn't even been a week since I was celebrating that S.E. put the hrothgars' ears back, and now this...
The saddest thing is that I can't even be surprised by the incompetence of this company. I really hope they reconsider and fix this new hair for both races (Hrothgar and Viera). But coming from Square Memex, I don't doubt they're just going to do nothing and then come with the famous "sorry, we didn't know you wanted it. We're surprised by the demand!"

That actually makes me angry. Who the hell is making the decisions on this? Like how can they even THINK that it is ok to release something that they can't use as a damn REWARD for a GRIND. I am not surprised...it isnt that, considering that vieras/hrothgar still cant use the BOUGHT hairstyles but jesus f*ck how can they seriously consider releasing it not available to two of the races? Just DON'T release it until you made it compatible with every race??! Not hard to understand...guess I am keeping my fantasia a bit longer.

Probably should wait till next week to say about that one. I mean, datamined stuff may change with the release patch.

I remember back then when people on reddit posted the datamined maid outfit working for males, but they didn't have the butler outfit working for girls. When it finally got released, both versions worked.

It's probably a bigger question if new hairs will be available for hrothgar at first. Maybe, and since they are going back and adding ears, you'd think those hairs would have ears too. I wonder if they would couple viera and hrothgar together again, and just start delaying releases, if it comes to that. We will have to wait and see.

I'm hoping this is the case at the worst, and at best they're reworking how the hair/hat system works for 7.0 so both races never have to wait again for their hats/hair.

Its hard to determine whats up with that hair because it lacks a viera number (buns have their own file numbering), lacks an icon, and also lacks a male counterpart while not being unisex. The Lyse hair was patched in complete back before it was released. As is, this hair new file is not complete.

I really don't know about hats, hats has been pretty status quo. Hair on the other hand, is something they have made compromises for. I'd rather not wait until 7.0 for new hairs.. especially if they are going to be more shared hairs of questionable quality. I hope that isn't the case.

I honestly want to know in what world did they think having Viera and Hrothgar released as they did was a good idea. Did they really think people would be perfectly fine with the limitations? If so they were EXTREMELY misinformed. I get it's a lot of work to make a new race, let alone 2, but if they couldn't get it right I would rather they didn't do it at all until they could get it right. I honestly want female Hrothgar to work out but honestly, I do not trust them to do them right either.
