VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SturmChurro]

I like it that they start to adjust more hairstyles. But to be honest the lack of headgear is the much bigger problem, than die hair. For me it felt always like 'not belonging to', because so many things does not work.
For example most of the fun-glamour from little events does not work, also some of these Garo sets, which look really weird without the helmets.

I gave up and switched back to my Miqoboy. Miqofaces are not so well designed yet, as vierafaces are, but at least I feel like 'being part of the gang' again, and can use everything.

I am excitetd how my boy will look after graphics update.

Male viera is arguable, so I get it, but female viera simply look better than the other races, so it's better not to be a part of that "gang" anyway. Ever since viera came out I always felt the opposite when I wasn't playing viera; I was a viera player, even when I wasn't actively playing it. Since day one, part of that "gang" instead.

It would be nice if viera could use event headgear, and I think they should make a different variant if they aren't going to fit them, otherwise viera/hrothgar players effectively get nothing. Not that I won't admit bias, since I don't really like hats anyway.

Don't know if this has been posted, but found this on Twitter:

Makes me wonder/hope if that implies both races will get new hairstyles 'on time' from now on, or that was just a one-time compensation for 6.1 (yes, I am rather cynical)

As for helmets, even as a Roe I always just used glasses anyways, so I'm not too bothered by it. That said, I think store and job gear, at the very least, should always work on Viera and Hroths

I don't see why not... IIRC they mentioned that Viera males were built without the modelling limitation that females had when it came to adding new hairstyles, and they fixed the females eventually (I assume that Hroth too), so I presume that from now on they are going to be included.

Lyse's hair got added for Viera girls too, so there's that proof as well, even before these two.

I'm glad we got our ears fixed... Even though it's not so much a fix and more just allowing them to show which honestly wasn't difficult when modders had it working in like an hour on day 1.

That said, I'm glad they listened. Although this doesn't really make me feel -good- it does at least satisfy me a bit. So, thank you for listening Square. My only other request would be to make it so we can wear the behemoth helm and get one more masculine-adjacent hairstyle, really.

I was just looking at new Rinascita sets and headpieces and I thought of something.
Do you guys think the dev team could swap the way headpieces with a /visor feature work; or maybe even add a new feature allowing both ways to work simultaneously
what I mean about that is toggling headpiece and immobile visor; that way Viera and Hrothgar could at least wear that sublime Venetian mask.
Just created a vote/discussion thread on ffxiv reddit and got downvoted to the abyss, as usual

No, simply put they would have to rework the hat system and ontop of that adjust all hat models with visor that's infinitely more work than just giving the hairs ( viera male + female + hrothgar is around 111 ) the missing component ( parts getting hidden and deformed ) necessary to enable hats on viera, plus the occasional hat model that might need adjustment.

they don't have to. The only thing they need is work. If a bunch of game design students can make helmets work, with hair, with visors, and without changing any systems, a bunch of seasoned designers can.

I posted this in the other 'complaint' thread, but for Viera I would love to have this option for hats that just won't work with ears.

What has become of Judy?

But yeah, while I like the idea in general, I feel like that would be a complete mess in XIV. Can you imagine the clipping? lol. SE doesn't have it in them to do that properly.

She got rank9 in island sanctuary.

Honestly I think the clipping would be minimal. There is already hair models that go down the front pretty far, and the back ears wouldn't be much worse that ponytails already are. /shrug
