VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Allegor]

Square Enix: "Ugh, making animalistic characters is such a pain... Let's just pretend they don't exist for a moment, let's focus on the same old human races. Screw the players who like them, they barely exist anyway."

Blizzard and Bethesda: "Hey, want to see a high-res version of our plot-relevant beast people? BECAUSE NOW YOU CAN!"



"What, not many people care for them? Well tough, they're a part of the world we made and they actually make it interesting. Imagine only caring for humanoid characters whose differences are eyebrows!!"

It's funny cuz the one time Hrothgars were kinda relevant was in that one 'anime' promotional clip, and even then they were mostly in the background




Fun fact: that hairstyle doesn't even exist ingame

No one gonna say how male viera got to be a event npc before hrothgar?

Hrothgar been in the game 3 years, 0 event npcs.
Double mastectomy viera been in the game 4 minutes and gets event npcs.
And I somehow, Idk why, just really dont think valentines will be good to hrothgar either.

If anything, maybe Square will acknowledge how hroth players often /dote each other and will play on that in some way!

Exec 1: "Wacky Elezen in formal attire?"
Exec 2: "Wacky Elezen in formal attire."
Exec 3: "Add in a Hyur for extra *sparkle*"

And still the Highlander Bert is considerated a joke in that questline, because all highlanders and roegadins are aways meathead jokes in this game.

I would like the length of this hairstyle, pretty please, and not the version we have in-game that looks like they just had a near miss from a guillotine.

Speaking of hairstyles, has there been any talk about Hroth and Viera getting consistent hairstyle updates in future patch cycles or is it going to be "whenever we have time" (and/or remember you exist)

Also still curious if 6.2 was a one-time-only as compensation for 6.1, or if it means both races will get new hairstyles on par as everyone else from now on.

There won't really be any news on this until the 23rd when the Live Letter shows any new (or lack of) hairstyles, along with what percentage of the new gear these races can fully use in 6.3.

Yes actually! On the 6.2 live letter Yoshi-P said now that hrothgar have ears on the hairstyles they're going to keep adding the other hairstyles on the following patches.
Unless you want to be reeeeally pessimistic, expect that to be the case every patch until we get every hairstyle shared by the other races, for both hroths and viera. And every newly added hairstyles as well, of course, barring gender locking.
