VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SturmChurro]

I completely disagree. SE has a nasty habit of making races that are just humans with ears of who knows what. The only real race is Hrothgar. Otherwise, remove the ears and tail (if any) and everyone turns into Hyur.

I want my ears. I'm not satisfied with a job poorly done like that, no.

People didn't accept hrothgar hairs with no ears, so hrothgar got ears, and quickly too considering. People accept this? Viera might get some headgear, but good luck with ever having ears with them ever again.

well, at least they can't say that I won't try

That would still be preferred to having no headgear, since I could just remove the headgear to get my ears back.

It wouldn't. Keep trying to get headgear, but people shouldn't be accepting of the bare minimum implementation of said headgear. In my opinion.

Miqo'te are one thing, and their hats don't look good on them, but viera is another, as their ears are not only a customizable aspect, but a major feature of the race. You could AT LEAST try to pretend that the miqo'te's ears are just "tucked" in the helmet, but viera ears you can't. They are literally just cut off. Not a good look.

Was excited to open up the merchant screen to try on all the Island Sanctuary gear and i'm now absolutely pissed that I still can't wear the hat. So lazy of them. It's frustrating that the most profitable game Squenix has still can't find the time to let their races wear a single hat.

If it requires hat hair, probably not going to work for the foreseeable future. Not even cutting off ears will fix this, although with enough people in support, maybe they will just allow viera to not only not have ears, but be bald. They would get hats.

Imo these are not comparable problems. Viera aren't earless with new hairstyles and never needed to Fantasia just to change between a couple existing styles, they got a big update today with some unexpected things. This is a niche scenario in which people who play Viera should have the option to choose if they'll tolerate having their ears covered or not. I would rather have the choice than the choice be made for me by revoking all visibility of a piece of gear. People who want helmets should have the ability to use them even if it offers some compromises and I don't think it's fair to suggest that we have to take all or nothing. We all probably prioritize different things. For you headgear might be a big deal but to me it isn't. I'm heavily in the camp that cares about hair but could live without most headgear and not notice or experience any FOMO.

Same here bro/sis. I'm very used to the idea on not caring about helmets/hats in my opinion since I always hide them to show their hairstyle. I'm not saying that SE shouldn't start adding more helmets/hats since other people want them.
