VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Midareyukki]

don't worry, i didn't take it personally. i can tell you're a passionate sort of person and it's that passion from you and others like you who helped them realize that hrothgar needed more work. i'm just speaking to the logic se probably has when dealing with this stuff. they plan their patches a certain way so you don't really see much course correction until later in the expansion, and even then it's only a half measure until the full measure happens at the next expansion's launch. something that kind of bugged me about viera lore too is how coincidentally viera culture is identical on the source and on the first. they might do something later down the line is what they were doing with the raen au ra is sticking them in places (terncliff in the shb trial questline, as well as thavnair) to expand them more.

Maybe I mean, one of two options is possible:
1 - Viera lore is written around Ivalice, in which case they can expand it with further explorations of Ivalice or have more data when we visit other locations with Viera and expand how they do things
2 - Viera lore is broad and Ivalice is just their quickest example. Meaning though the basic gist of Viera lore remains the same elsewhere, we'll see more to Viera than just Golmore Jungle.

Either way? It's already been established that other races are widespread through the world. We haven't yet visited Meracydia nor the New World, so it's entirely possible we'll see different settlements there.

Question is, will they really? Because while those for sure would be lovely, and the inclusion of Raen in Thavnair was definitely new and broke away a bit from what they've established about Yanxian-only Raen, this sort of exploration would really help boost the races they've since added. Give them more relevance and story. They really just need to take the chance.

My hopes for 7.0 regarding both Hrothgar and Viera are:
- Full compatability for all past, present and future hairstyles
- More compatability for headware, even if it's not all, allowing some variety in the styles would be nice + preferably all mogstation hats
- Au'ra, Viera and Hrothgar NPC's in the starting zones, (even if they cannot be interacted with)
- More Hrothgar and Viera representation in both the MSQ and Side Quests.

Quick question, but you guys know the Legacy mark? The tattoo thing that Louisoix branded on you by accident when he teleported you into the future at the end of 1.0?

Where would it display on Hrothgar characters? Because now I'm curious: it it's under the collarbone tuft, it's just covered up.

Assuming you'd want to display it altogether, why didn't the devs just move the thing xD

It's a tramp stamp. It's on the small of their backs.

thats a mod, its on the back of the neck like everyone else.
Course if you happen to be a legacy player who enjoys face1gar, you cant use Runar racial hair bc it totally vanishes but thats why Legacy marks should be optional face tattoos or smth any hairstyle that isnt boringly short will disappear your sweet tat

'-' Yeah, Google isn't exactly helpful. Especially not nowadays. If you want confirmation, you go Gamerescape or some source that doesn't use mods ^^;
