Oh yeah, helmets look awful on elezen as well, but people are probably referring to hats rather than helmets.

I was mostly asking because if you really want this to be the last time you use a Fantasia it's definitely something to consider. Viera look great and their exclusive hairstyles do as well, but personally I'm pretty bored by now of looking at the same 8 styles we've had since launch with no real news on when we're getting more while other races keep getting more almost every patch.

So if headgear isn't a dealbreaker and you don't mind losing access to whatever hairstyles you currently have unlocked I'd say go for Viera, they don't have the unusual proportions Elezen do so hairstyles aside they're a lot easier to pick glamours for.
Yeah, viera hairstyles are race exclusive, and any new ones that will supposedly be added will be race exclusive.

Side note, I always complain about viera hair, but I alternate more hair on viera than I do my au ra. I literally only use one style on au ra. Because it's the long one, I can't use several glamours because the hair clips through it.
