Vierra hats?

I need E as a mount now. Just jump into a giant hat and fly away.

Just found this interview from rpgamer site.

Suzuki-san: Whenever we introduce new races, we want to make sure we feature their unique elements. With the Hrothgar and the Viera, because of their unique head shapes, the team actually drew a line in the sand that helmets are going to be a huge challenge to represent and so we don’t want to display helmets. The helmets not being visible is not just because we wanted to show their faces, but more about trying to work with the limitations that we have and work around them. There are elements that are pieces of headgear such as glasses or circlets that people still want to see on their characters, so we did our best in accommodating those elements as well.

So most likely it was a cost and design(limitation?) decision and probably we will never get helmets/hats on the 2 new races.

According to Square, it would be type D.



There are some arts floating around of which I could not verify the source (if official or not), so I stick to the official sprite sheet.
It must hurt to wear hats like that..

Ah, that's the explanation I was thinking of earlier. Thanks for the exact quote/link.

It seems like it was a choice between "design them how we envisaged them, but hats won't work well with it" or "adjust the design so they wear hats but are less unique" and they went with option 1.

I am not sure if that was terrible or brilliant...

On topic: I'm still astonished that some hats and helmets introduced in this expansion are not wearable, like Eden gear, Pixie hats, or AF gear.

Yeah, this is a big sticking point for me.

Sure I expected old stuff to not work, but you'd think at least new gear would take Viera and Hrothgar into consideration.

It's honestly kind of annoying I like my Viera as much as I do, I want to go back to Miqote in protest...

Honestly that's just some really bad spaghetti code, no other game has random limitations like that.
