VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Jettinson]

I created a Hrothgar for experiment and gods, aside the abysmal hairstyle choice (only 1 default hairstyle for every type of hrothgar without any ), it feels really weird only having voice 2 that does not sound too deep or brutish?

Although voice 2 sounds someone from an anime that just constantly mocks you for being poor or unskilled, I can't tell who is the voice actor for that since it feels familiar...

You know, I really don't mind the stuff they added this patch. Island Sanctuary wasn't meant to be blitzed through it and it's clearly a work in progress. Hildibrand quests are their usual thing where they try to live up to their former comedy but kinda can't... The rewards are whatever, really, for the most part I didn't expect we'd get anything major out of all this. And the criterion dungeon's cute. It's cute.

But what does bother me is how they promised a bit more for Viera, a bit more for Hrothgar. We got Male Vieras (with the exact same issues, slay queen). And we got chopped off ear--I mean glued-back-on ears with a weird mesh. And the most awkwardly picked hairstyles possible for Hrothgar.

Sooo... about that budget. Great you guys are coming together and really pushing your limits when it comes to expressivity in cutscenes. It's clear that the animation quality for the Hildibrand quests was something Square Enix had an interest in. But didn't you forget someone, Square?

We could have had all the slapstick we had in Heavensward and Stormblood, they didn't need this much expressivity botoxed into them. You know what we did need? For you guys to hurry up and fix your goddamn races. The ones people have been asking you to fix and even got upset when you all but told them that you weren't paying attention. "Your reaction surprised us" my front bottom. We don't need glitter, we need you guys to pull yourselves together. We're due a graphics rehaul that from the looks of it is going to overlook us. We're insecure in the idea that the fact that so little attention is being provided toward us is going to translate into all these issues persisting in 7.0 forward. And worse is that you're planning on bringing in a new race while this is still going on, multiplying your problems.

That money'd be better spent building up the faith with your players that you've been losing since before the expansion launched (remember? Delaying Early Access so close to its launch and then handwaving connectivity issues like the fault didn't lie on you?). Not to make ha ha funny man contort in new ways.

But I know that doesn't net you in money, so why bother, eh?

Bringing this back because there's another event where it's relevant, since the new cash shop items have no viera/hroth restrictions on them

Ugh, yeah it sucks.

I know this is confrontational, but like ... Shadowbringers came out in July of 2019. It has been well over three years and Square Enix still has been unable to bring their "new" races to parity on Hats/Head items, and frankly that is extremely absurd. You aren't a small indie developer. You're a multi-billion dollar organization. I understand that time and money are not unlimited, but it is truly mind boggling for this to still be happening this late into the lifespan of Viera and Hrothgar; and the game as a whole.

Get it together, folks. There shouldn't be *any* head gear that comes out that doesn't work with Viera and Hrothgar at this point, *especially* not on sets that you have to pay real world money for. It's also extremely confusing because the Fat Cat set works with Viera and Hrothgar! They're similar headpieces to the Far Northern one that just came out!

What is going on?

The Fat Cat set doesn't work with viera, the headgear doesn't work, just like the new mogstation outfit they just put on sale.
Given how they dodge questions whenever it comes up about it for the graphical update and for those races being able to use all new headgear, they probably won't do much to fix this. Each patch will have about half the gear unusable by the 2 races, 1 new hairstyle each for viera and hroths that's recycled, and then they will say they are hearing the feedback and will try to make more compatible headgear, and just not do that.

Both races should be removed from the game.

[RyuDragnier]

What's that, AuRa should be removed from the game? Why would you ever wish that on yourself?

[Midareyukki]

Both races should be removed from the game.

Followed by yours, I'm sure ^^ Maybe that way you'll move onto something that befits you and your garbage vitriol, yeah?

-_- anyway, trashy people aside...



If Square is this willing to perpetuate this ridiculous situation, then they deserve ridicule in turn. Sorry Square, but you manifest what you put out there.

That meme is so accurate lol.
