VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[XiRon]

No for only worgen, but for all races that suffers from the "savage/wild race must be hunched" issue, way before blizzard gave option for orcs chose their posture. Even GW2 where Charr have lore reasons for that (only shamans from the Fire Legion stand like that and they don't want to look like their old oppressors and demigods believers) and the model torso is a feline one, people request that since day one bc how amazing the arts of non hunched Charr are.

For Hrothgars makes no sense at all being like that not only due the model they uses as base (Roe) but also due the race they are inspired from (FFX Ronso) aren't hunched + lore wise Hrothgars are maybe one of the most civilized and developed races on the entire star. If we use the ridiculous "savage/wild race must be hunched" rule, Miqo'tes should be the ones who have lordosis, for example.

Seven hells, even the ingame race that is the combo between Charr and WoW's Orcs in terms of lore, values and civilization, the Amalj'aa, have no hunch LOL

Yknow its funny I saw a guy hoping we'd see Kimahri in game in a future Blue Mage questline or if we go to the New World in 7.0, and thats valid because boy despite visiting Ilsabard, wherein hrothgar are native there is...one...in garlemald...and hes a slave living in a shitty ice tunnel.
But considering how badly they screwed up making Ronso we ain't ever getting Kimahri. And its so upsetting the base lv1 Hrothgar Newbie gear is the stupid trash leather corset it is instead of Kimahris ffx outfit meanwhile Viera get Frans outfit for cosplay straight away like the bias is so much.

Had to Google what Kimahri is but yeah that definitely would've been a cooler outfit. That said tho as someone who's never played any other FF games and didn't find anything about the Fran in FFXIV particularly interesting (other than how hilarious that bike she had - if I'm even remembering right on who that was - looks on pretty much every other race) I'd have preferred a different starter outfit for fem Viera too. The lil fake tail on the chest piece is godawful and the metal pseudo underwear look SO uncomfortable I swap off them ASAP if I ever have need of a throwaway alt for an off server wedding

Anyway I'm also not a fan of the hunch, never was in WoW either. All I think when I see it is neck and shoulder pain. x.x

I should have never fallen in love with the 2B hair...Here's to hoping they fix the headband for Viera. It looks so...unfinished right now.

I was messing around in the aesthetician the other day to change things up, and funnily enough there are a couple of 'new' hairs that give Viera something of a peanut shape as well. Not at my PC to grab screenshots but man. I can't unsee it.

The weird thing is I think they did actually do some work on that hair for viera. The question is really where is the quality control?
