Fran and Mjrn's hairstyles please?

[HeyMcFly]

Would be nice if the headguard could be added separately but it's attached to a hairstyle which isn't hers on top of it. One has to wonder why that isn't just a simple head item we could use with any of the styles. Like so much with Viera the limitations have been disappointing. One has to wonder how things will change and hopefully not at the expense of how our characters look at the moment.

I like that idea!
I've suggested in the past for Viera to have more optional/ toggle headguards for each hairstyles (Mjrn wears a diadem around her ears that should also have been an option) And imo would have helped curb the need for Hats on Viera to some degree- if the designers had taken more of a risk or creative liberty with the hairstyles by adding more Viera-looking hairs that have the ear guards/headguards

Would support this if it happened. Possibly mog station items!
Also, more racial hairstyles in general for viera and hrothgar.

I'm glad we're getting more hair possibilities in EW (especially since my main is going straight to mViera as soon as servers are up) but for Fran's style I don't think they'd give it to us because of who she is. She's an iconic character who exists in our world already, with that hair style and unique ear colorations. They've only given us hairstyles of characters that have "crossed the rift" to visit Eorzea because it wouldn't make that character any less unique (see: Noctis, Lightning) but given Fran is a person we meet and adventure with. She's too unique and iconic.

Release the waist long hair.

Breaking news. All races besides Viera cannot have big ponytail hair with metallic helmets because lore.

Maybe just maybe I would like to use cool things on more than just Viera characters? Goodness knows if there were more wood elf type hairs I would gladly go out of my way to grind/pay for them for my elezen and miqos. I'm not likely to be convinced that not only gender-locked but also race-locked hair is anything but a waste of resources outside whatever starter hairs a race gets. It would have been so great if the males shared some hairstyles with female Viera and vice versa, and it honestly sucks that it's not the case. I do not support even more exclusive stuff. Just let people have cool things.

Now you’re getting it! Thank you

So your argument is that lore from other games is more important than lore in this game, while we're taking about this game? Okay then.

That’s obviously not what I’m saying if I literally just justified why the male Viera came out of hiding due to the ‘end of the world’ storyline? I’m really struggling to comprehend why you’re trying to twist my words.

Male Viera aren't coming out of the woodwork "just now", they are retroactively being added to exist – at least by the player's presence – in the game since ARR. Unless they bring that up within the game to explain why we're seeing them for the first time, it's not a reason to say that Endwalker justifies their presence.

For all we know, they could just be extremely rare (and still will be extremely rare if we only meet one or two as NPCs) or maybe the few that do leave the woods are mistaken for women anyway.

I see your point of view definitely, but I don't think characters are just "brought in" as if they've always been there since the start, hence why in the Ivalician raid series when we meet Fran in Garamsythe waterway she speaks to us as if we're not even the same race - also Montblanc gives us a whole dialogue on what the Viera are and their way of life despite me standing there with my viera sandles and rabbit ears; it's a tad discombobulating.
