VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[HeyMcFly]

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.

I am right with you
I want to be a Viera so, so much. But, they just don't look how I had hoped- they look incomplete to me- I wish they had the same ears as they did in XII, As well as the spots at the tips.
I want them to have more unique outfits (like the ones you see Mjrn wear & other viera in XII) Many have different outfits & armors in that game. I want to see more shoes/ boots that give them their odd feet back.
The fluffy/ wild hair they have in XII & tactics art- where is that in XIV? I want to be able to choose the ear diadem/ headgear you see Mjrn wear & Fran wear on all hairstyles.

It won't happen but one can wish.

This is beyond ridiculous. They cant make previous headgear work with viera? Fine. Sure, whatever.

It's very tragic, I'm devastated as well. I did write this on another thread, but I got to around rank 11 and then I realized we can't wear the helmet so it pretty much de-motivated me.
I know it's hardly any consolation, but I think your Viera still looks nice without the helmet - mine looks weird without the headpiece. If I come across headgear that matches the armour, I'll let you know

Its the inconsistency that bothers me. Just randomly Hroths and Viera can wear full plate helmets and hoods. With ears sticking out for Viera. Just do that for all of them if you want, nobody cares about clipping for the most part. If the choices are "90% of headgears cant be used, or the headgears have clipping" then generally speaking people would rather accept the latter.

They are doing a good job with hair now with Viera. They need to move on to addressing the issue of hats and making more of an effort to provide at least some of the older ones new models so the ears can show etc. Relative to new gear it's still disappointing that some items work but most don't.

I know I generally check hats in dungeons like the new 24 man raid to see if the head gear works before rolling on it. Sadly I haven't found any that does yet.

This is mighty sweet, thank you all for your continued support and I'm really glad everyone's on the same page, it's always reassuring coming across those who have the same opinion as me on the matter Hopefully one day this can be acknowledged by the developers sooner or later, and both Viera and Hrothgar will be the standard we desire. I'll always hold out hope that maybe one day, we can get an item that gives us an Ivalician Viera appearance... Constantly wearing my claws of the beast and default Viera sandles are okay, but it's still not good enough for me to be honest - it's not convinced me that these are actually from Eruyt village.

Thank you you’re sweet. It sucks because i had a whole glam already plated and ready for the helmet, was going to use either the crypt robes or the ancient robes. Guess that idea is down the toilet now

I finally caved and switched from bunny boi to cat boi. The lack of hats was one thing, but I don’t like the male viera slouch. It makes them look awkward in 90% of glamour.

I could do without the crooked hands, but male miqo have the best standing and running animations.

So much this. The same happened to me. I used to fantasia every once in a while, then stayed F-Viera for the whole of ShB. My favourite race without a doubt and wishing for a male version. Then they release this "thing" and I just managed to keep it until I finished the EW MSQ. Every now and then I see one of them running around and think "What if..." but nah, the body is just too awkward and the limitations are absurd.

Hmm, not for me, no. I actually like their stance than the male miqo's since the latter gives off a beer belly..at least for me.

I still think they might be waiting for the graphical update with the head gear, since they'll be messing around with the models anyway.
Altho it'd be nice if that's the case if they actually came out and said it.

My dream is to wake up one day, and have news that hrothgars and vieras can now wear hats.

A curiosity to leave here is that they really messed with the male viera. The mogstation sunglasses had the "visor" option, and now it is no longer working. I'm hoping they're messing with the viera's heads just to test hats.
