    The only reason I haven't popped the free fantasia yet is because I haven't decided what to switch to yet. Having either made an alt or a fantasia of every race, it's down to going back to either my old Au Ra or my old Miqo'te, but I'm waffling on it. I dunno, what do you all think?




    Probably have to make a few tweaks because of the graphics updates anyway, haven't really looked into it yet.

    I love the colors on that Au Ra, she looks awesome, very Mystique.

    I am a biased person who really likes the Viera aesthetically and in terms of lore (which is why I don't change). But if I had to choose something among the other races, I would go back to Miqo'te. IDK, I don't like Au'ras.

    Fun fact: I used to play as a Miqo'te before SHB, and thanks to a joke made in my old FC (when we didn't even know there wouldn't be male Viera), where they said "imagine a muscular male Dark Knight tanking a boss with bunny ears and tail," it made me look into the race and fall in love, especially with the mysticism around the males being reclusive.

    Okay see this is actual bs to the point I'm bumping a thread from like page 4. Who in the blazes okayed that actual Artifact Gear that SE themselves holds as this sacred iconic gear but then turned around and decided that Viera and Hrothgar don't need to be able to show the helm. Like what the hell? It sucks even more cause I like the DRG set, but without the helm it just looks goofy.

    I'd say the fishy Xaela. But I might be a bit biased because my main is a blue fishy faced Xaela.

    While even the new hats that work for other races still don't work for viera/hrothgar, I wouldn't say no progress has been made.

    Instead, when you take a gander over some other other races, particularly at elezen ears and miqote ears(tails too!) being chopped off it seems evident that there's been a regression as far as tailoring gear to races goes.

    They did give them a few hats through holiday events. Not to defend what they haven't done though, but they raise the questions of what they should do about ears.

    The little ladies' crown is just a tiny little crown and is placed so it doesn't interfere with ears.

    The Wake Doctor's mask just lets viera ears poke through.

    The Phoenix Riser helmet encases Viera ears in sheaths. Some didn't like that, I thought it was great.

    The Thug's Mug can be worn by Hrothgar but not Viera, which is weird because it's a full head replacement, but it also accommodates for ears on many races, though somewhat weirdly.

    It feels like they may be testing the waters. Whatever they do is going to be criticized.

    The issue is similar for Miqo'te. While they can wear all hats, many don't accommodate ears and I find them useless. When I put on the Pictomancer's baret I thought her face looked weird and squished. I realized it was because the ears were just chopped off. It would be even worse if they did that to Viera.

    My thought always was that they were waiting for both genders and the graphic update to do it. Like, why make all these hats in low-res to have to redo them anyway later ? Or come back to them for the release of the other gender when you could do all of them in one go ?

    And now it's really disappointing to see that the issue still remains even on the new DT gear. They really need to tackle the subject in the PLLs for 7.1.
