New Races

[EtherRose]

Whats funny is Yoshi said he wouldn't add more races due to resources and time. Then they add not only 1, but 2 new races and you see how that went. It was mainly due to popularity of Viera and Hrothgar was a personal choice of the team apparently. You see, they do something nice for the community even though they weren't going to do it and everyone acts self-entitled over it. Mainly for Viera as Hrothgar has very, very little support.

Hrothgar appeals to me more TBH. I'd need the female option to really consider playing one though. Even by FFXIV's standards the Viera look like supermodels, and the default outfit is uncomfortably revealing to my tastes. I don't mind other players looking like that, it's just not me.

Ah yes.... our weekly new thread about how Viera still can't wear hats and don't have new hairstyles.

The lack of updates in general is probably because of 2020. Things going on around the world slowed down work everywhere so it took 4 months from 5.25 (6 from 5.2) to get to 5.3...

When they announced the new races they said they would add more hair and headgear support down the road. It's been a year now, do you expect we will see something in the lasts 5.x patches or it would be in 6.0?

Yes, they said Viera and Hrothgar would be getting their own Unique Hairstyles down the road.
but No, they did not give us a specified time for arrival or development.

They need to expand customization of Viera and Hrothgar before adding M/F versions of them, or new races. I like the idea of them adding new tribes to existing races, rather than entirely new races once they expand customization.

I hope they hurry up and let me change my hair on Hroth without paying for a Fantasia.

Not suggesting it would make everyone 100% happy but I do imagine people would be more okay, an average high alleviation solution, with Hroth's hair issue if the barber allowed them to just change the whole head. Weird indeed, but I think a more friendly solution if SE can't find a way to do it any other route. So you can't change out of hrothgar without a fantasia but you could change within hrothgar all the way via the barber.

Honestly everything should be changeable at the Aesthetician with fantasia being just for race changes. Starting in Shadowlands WoW is even going to let us gender swap at the in-game barber.

For FFXIV it might be necessary for gender change to be fantasia too though since in this game gear sets don't just swap over regardless of your gender.

Anyway at the very least full recustomization within race/gender should be doable at Aesthetician for everyone.

No customization within the same race/genger should need a fantacia... Even Rome had cosmetic surgeries so Erozea should have it too.
