VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Fukuro]

Now hear me out, they could design more outfits/ armors/ helmets/ headgear around Viera & Hrothgar instead of trying to force them into gear that wasn't really intended for them

You simply cannot expect that from Indie developers! /s

Viera head geometry isn't even that different from non limited races.

I think it's actually the crown spikes. "Quality control" seems to only matter if it means fitting a headpiece to viera or something like that.

That would be a dream. I did have a thought about a week ago; what if SE brought in a Hrothgar and Viera NPC to hang out in major cities as a 'hat maker' who are able sell headgear to Viera and Hrothgar? I'm not talking about an extensive variety, but at first just the basics such as RDM hat, BLM hat and then they can continue from there... If our heads are as 'unique' as they keep saying, and if they are persistent on flaking out on our race-exclusive hairs, I don't see why we can't have a fair compromise. Just so we can at least look the part of the classic FF classes. I'd still like my ears poking through though - the level 89 reaper hood made it look so perfect.

I know the whole scenario of us getting more headgear is unlikely, but I still like to imagine.

Viera would be the perfect race if they got the attention they deserve. Custom headgear, custom hairstyles, more heels, etc. What could be..

Oh I agree. I know it's a bit premature, but I sincerely hope whenever there's a new Final Fantasy MMO they'll do the Viera's and Hrothgar's justice (If they appear)... Like, completely go all out on the whole 'beastial' aspect of them. Digitigrade feet, proper race-defining outfits and really make them stand out.





I know it's a random image, but I remember loving how the Viera NPC's react differently depending if you play Fran or the humans. I loved the little details like this in games

I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing, continuing to ask that we get what we deserve in this game, regardless if I think they will actually ever do it or not. It seems they will relent, like with hrothgar. If we came together and asked for custom viera styles, we could get them. Maybe even more custom headgear. It isn't impossible. Hrothgar players rejected their new hairstyles, and Yoshida, even if he says it will take time, is willing to do custom hairs due to the backlash. I can be pretty negative at times, like earlier, but I actually just want the best for the game and the race.

I still catch myself saying "we" with viera. I guess I still consider myself a viera player, no matter how much I try to cope with the situation. I probably always will.

I like those little details as well. I still remember the Kojin questline, they remark about your race. I think the viis tribe on the first will also do the same if you are a viera.

Still sad both genders couldn't get those feet and the inhuman short waist and long limbed proportions... the feet I can see being troublesome, but it's odd since Elezen/Elvaan are known for their long limbs and long necks and they got those carried over just fine. The male Au Ra manage just fine with their body type as well. I can only dream...

I keep pining to be Viera again, but them and hrothgar just need to go back into the oven and rebake, a whole patch dedicated to just fixing the issues derived from the race coming out premature, it's especially concerning with the wanted update to the graphics of races and such they are looking at long term.
