Viera Updates

[Zarkovitch]

Lol, Square Enix selling point.

"Please looking foward to it!"

I'm seriously dissapointed by them. Imagine if they add new races for the game it will be same situation like Rothgar or Viera. No thank you SE.

Easily 6.0 will see the feature's they're promise.

SE, did say they will be updating those new race in 5.X.X but till now I find no updates to them at all, unless I had missed some features currently implemented to them.

I'm expecting the pandemic to result in these updates not coming until 6.0. I could be wrong but content recently has been released later than usual and we don't have a Halloween event, all due to the pandemic. I would be surprised if viera and hrothgar updates don't get delayed as well.

Do you have an actual source? I haven't seen anything that would suggest this at all. It seemed like they were saying that these new races would be different, causing their limitation, and only the dev's effort made a one time addition of head gears being possible. But I don't think there was a promise of adding more.

They talked about the headgear restrictions of the races in the art stream and said they understand it isn't the best situation and will continue to work towards alleviating these issues and making them better in the future and finding ways to make things work.

Now what that means exactly remains to be seen of course, but they know it's an issue and said they're working on it.

the art stream

Which one was that? Was it one of the live letter?

It was called 'The Artwork of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Look Behind the Screen' from around 8 months ago, you can still find it on Twitch videos. Timestamp for the quote is around 01:46:50 if you're curious.

I just want my Y'sthola hair on Viera & Matoya's hat on Viera
As well as updated foot gear- You can't tell me SE won't make male Viera bc lore but then at the same time ignores the lore about Viera feet.

I'm hoping the hairstyles we get aren't too over-the top. I want Viera quality hairstyles- the unique, pretty fluffy, feminine locks they seem to sport. Frans ponytail as well & a short cut like Mjrn's

No male Viera isn't because of lore, it's because they wanted to do Hrothgar as well as Viera, the lore is simply the in-game reason given for why they're not available or seen.

XIV Viera's body is made from a modified midlander body so we got the same flat feet, unless you also want limits on the shoes we'll be able to wear this is good enough. The races have bigger issues than not having perma-heels.

When I said lore & male viera, I should have added this

Either way though, I'm glad they went with regular hands and feet in the end. It would've been cool if they could make it work, but if we had unique hands and feet all they would've done is turn off shoes and most gloves as well and we'd be even worse off.
