Hairstyle Concerns for The New Races

[wereotter]

Except the Hrothgar can't - just sculpt their faces without changing hair - because they are attached to one another. My whole point is that the lions are limited already as they are and hair is the most distinguishable customizing aspect of a character, it's the thing besides race, that we spot first on someone.





Exactly this is what I mean. If this is not an option, then Hrothgar will unfortunately be gated behind 10 bucks to change one of the most important customization options that everyone else can change at will ingame (well, for 2000 gil it is).

So, this is why I believe it's unreasonable for non-Hroths to demand this.

But I guess we'll have to wait and see how they'll deliver in launch.

My point here is that if you have to pick your face to go with your hair, logically if you want to change faces to get different hair, then you’d need to be able to select different nose, jaw, and mouth options to make sure the face looks right. Even on existing races, you can’t just swap from one face to another and keep all the same options and have a right-looking face. So it follows if those options are unlocked with the aesthetician for hrothgar, they’re there even if you leave the hair alone.

That follows that some players upon learning that absolutely will complain that hrothgar could get a nose job for 2,000 gil but their race has to pay $10 for it.

I personally don’t care either way. I just have seen enough to know this is absolutely what will happen and that puts Square in a tricky spot when it comes to how the handle this.

I just don't think it's possible to let Hrothgar change face/mane at the aesthetician, because it will be using an option that isn't available there. It's (likely to be) essentially the inverse of the situation for Au Ra, who get away with being able to partly change their eye colour and scales - even though it would logically come under "body changing" and require a Fantasia - because they're controlled by settings that were already alterable in other races. But there isn't a setting that would equate to Hrothgar faces.

Your original statement did not state that and that is why i say please read your own statement before refuting. If you want to play the victim game so be it. I'm moving on.



Like i stated in my previous comment, i'm not here to discuss meoni with you here go take it up with him if you need clarification.



Do you even realize how vague that is? Yoshi-p has said that viera will get some hairstyle but he did not go into details to even state "shared hair" so i don't know where you are getting your source from.

Imagine getting this offended about hair. Some of the people in the community to need to go out more.

I sincerely doubt most of these complaints would even be a thing if everyone had something to do.

Im not sure if most are "offended" - in my case, I paid RL money for some hairstyles and well, ofc I want be able to use them. Or other ones that were a pain to grind, it would be shame not be able to use them. However, next week we all will know more and I think that sooner or later we (hopefully) will get them back ^^ If i cant use all "normal" hairstyles so be it, but atleast the ones I paid for would be nice.

Honestly. I kind of trust them to make more hairstyles/faces for the Hrothgar. There's a guy in their promotional photo that has a hairstyle that I don't think player Hroths can have currently:

Yeah we don't have that hair so I'm looking forward to the kinds of hairstyles they get! We'll see how often they start releasing them. I think they would make the Mogstation hairstyles for them too, since well people paid money for them!

That particular one somewhat confuses me. I can't tell where the actual "hairstyle" ends; it always looked like a long mane of some sort that grows out of the back of his neck even down to his shoulder blades. I only think that because he's hunching over at an angle.

Err, i'm not offended by the hair? Way to quote me without understanding the context? Thanks i guess?
