VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Yencat]

In my expirience as an animator and rigger for 3D models. It wouldn't be hard at all, literally an axes tweak. The problem would come in remaking almost all animations for them. And even then, it would be just the personal emotes and idles cause the rest, like all job idle animations have a straight back. And they put our backs straight in almost all cutscenes, minus walking.

My secret wish for 7.0 is that with the addition of Female Hrothgar they will also tweak the male posture in such a way that they would stand straight and keep 1 of the idles hunched (like male Miquo'te). Everyone happy!

Oh I don't think it would be hard for them to do either if they wanted to do it, but for male Viera it was a relatively small change that didn't impact their emotes or idles and was done before they even released vs. a more involved change on a model that's been out for 3+ years.

But if they couldn't make it a toggle for some reason then a hunched idle sounds like an elegant solution.

For what it's worth I think your WoL is absolutely gorgeous and Great Length fits her perfectly. Ironically the newer hairstyles mostly have more natural hairlines, it's just hard to separate our brains from what we all got so used to on Viera because all we had for 2 years were hairstyles with low hairlines and deep widows' peaks. Anyway, yeah, she's super pretty and perfect.

You're very sweet! Thankfully (since it's my favourite hairstyle) I don't have an issue with how Great Lengths looks on either Rava or Veena, it's mostly the ones that already look a bit higher up that look slightly worse on Veena because of the brows. It's unlikely they'll go back and change them though so I'm not too fussed, but I wouldn't be opposed to them lowering the hairline on the worst offenders ever so slightly.

Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to a few hairstyles being adjusted, but that list is very small and I think they should be adjusted on every race, not just Viera. As it is right now to quote one of G'raha's best scenes all it means is we're "the same as everyone else."

I DO have one request for Viera character customization for 7.0: a new tab for ear decals. I absolutely adore the fawn spots and other patters Viera have in FFXII, and I would love the option to add these to my own Viera.
