If you're going to give us nothing but hats for an event, at least make them work.

This just in, very few players care! Go to any major city and take a look how many people have "hide helmet" enabled, are using "Emperor's New Hat" or are wearing some inconsequential hairpin or a flower. In the end, the demand for hats and helmets is generally pretty low on top of even narrower subset of specifically viera/hrothgar players who want hats. Heavily investing development time into them just isn't logical. Sorry, not sorry.

People will really find the darnest takes to defend the devs' mistakes.
What's illogical is creating a race in a way that they cannot wear an important type of glamour.

They can put time into viera hats. Or do something else more players will care about and enjoy. The answer seems a bit obvious?

Viera hats and hairstyles have actually been a huge topic ever since the race was introduced in ShB, arguably as big as the gender lock. Even a good chunk of players who don't play viera care about the unavailability of hats and hairstyles and it's even what's turning some people off from playing the race.

It's very ironic btw that you're saying that you don't care about viera hats while your character is wearing one right now.

And that springs something else to my mind, ANOTHER issue on SE's behalf. New players are joining FFXIV and the ones choosing viera or hrothgar completely unaware of the severe limitations because unless someone does the research prior, how else would they know? So eventually they either create a new character after wasting time or buy a fantasia and I think that's so horrible.

What a surprise, another race who can wear all hairstyles and hats has the audacity to belittle Viera and Hrothgars limitations. People like you are the reason why SE are giving minimum effort to fix our situation, there's never enough uproar about the unfairness and in result SE don't see it as a major issue so yet again, we're ignored. There are so many hats and hairstyles that I'd love to wear, specifically the job ones (like the welkin hat) or ANY BLM and RDM hat. I'm not sure why you think hats aren't in demand when everywhere I go people have them.

Even if all headgear in the game was removed from the game in 7.0 like belts I wouldn't bat an eye. And yes, I would rather get a new armor set or something instead of viera hats.

That's your point of view, you don't speak on behalf of all the players.. Just because you don't care about hats doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way, majority players DO wear hats. No one is asking SE to go back through every single expansion to fix our heads to all the hats, we're just asking for the main ones, job specific ones because that would at least expand our glamour options significantly. Also, it's quite selfish you would ask more options for yourself instead of voicing your disgust at how Viera and Hroth are treated so I'm not sure what to say to that.

Well neither do you. In the end we are all hear for some mild entertainment and sharing our opinions, aren't we? And it gets pretty boring when we all just sit in our own "happy" threads and agree with each other. I doubt anything either of us writes here will ever matter much to SE. Although I assume they do have in-game analytics to tell which proportion of players cares about hairstyles and hats. And their actions speak louder than any words.

Some people really seem to dislike the Kabuto, and I'm not sure why. I rather like them.

They of course look best with heavy armor and Eastern glamour, but they are a helmet.
It feels like a lot of people don't like helmets.

Sometimes it's nice to wear something skimpy and revealing, and sometimes it's nice to be head to toe, covered in heavy armor that doesn't show much skin.
Both extremes have their place and are valid.

I think the Kabuto look really nice, when paired with the appropriate gear. And I think every race ought to be able to wear them(and headgear of all sorts in general).
