VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Raikai]

I do hope there is more than just that; something desirable. Otherwise I won't be using that. I like that more is still being made available. I haven't read through a lot of the threads since this morning, does the new hairstyle look to be made available for viera,?

I mean, so far the new style added in Endwalker (Lyse's) works, so I presume that any hair from now on will.

As for those, they only showed one Viera-enabled style last time, but added 6 (corrected myself from above poster)... I'm also thinking they're just doing batches of 3 every patch.

I know we are mainly paying for the book here, but I would still like if things like this that you have to pay premium for worked on all races. And considering how huge the hat is, it shouldn't be that difficult to fit it on viera or hroths anyway. I honestly like the game and its lore, but it's getting exhausting to be constantly punished for playing a race I like the most (hrothgar). Fantasia'd to a roe with the free vial I got waaaay back in ARR, it's cool to wear hats now but my enjoyment of the game is taking a serious hit because this is not the character I love and went through the game with.

If I'm remembering right thus far the history of Viera hair additions has been:

6.0 female: Mid length fluffy with bangs
6.0 male: Emmanellain
6.0 Shared: Controlled Chaos, Gold Saucer ponytail, 2B, 9S, Lightning/Snow cash shop

6.1 female: Twin tails with bangs, mid length side part with half ponytail, long dreads, Lyse hair via cash shop update
6.1 male: Pippin's style, feathery short, middle part Hippie
6.1 Shared: Fashionably Feathered, Rainmaker, Both Ways

I don't love all of these hairstyles but I have seen people using all of them. 4 base game for each gender and 8 Modern Aesthetics + Lyse's for fViera and not counting today's patch notes is decent all things considered. In terms of hair selection Viera have already come a long way in a short time. Just have to be patient that everyones' favourite styles will be added eventually.

Huge thank you to SE for fixing the ears on the Hrothgar. Also, big thank you for continually adding hair. I know we have the Lyse hair, but I'd love the pretty ponytail that's already in the game. Preferably with the bangs being long - I know some hairstyles with Viera suffer with a larger forehead.

Either way, thanks again SE for listening to feedback and fixing it

Yeah, I'd like to think that, but I just can't. Also, the Lyse style was a cash shop item, although it's not like they make much of the cash shop headgear available, regardless they definitely made more money from viera players who could use it specifically. There was a profit incentive there.

Still barely the bare minimum for hrothgar.

In all fairness to SE they have added a number of modern aesthetics to Viera and only 2 of them are from the cash shop (and Lyse's is brand new and was cash shop exclusive for all races). This was also the very first Mogstation hair that has functioned for Viera on launch. It isn't like they're only porting hairstyles that cost real money to squeeze out all they can from Viera players. In fact, they've even added base game hairs so Viera players have more options from the get-go that don't even rely on in game rewards or gil. They absolutely could have focused on porting cash shop hairs first for monetary incentive. I know plenty of Viera players who would want Y'shtola or Minfilia's hairstyles but instead they have put much more attention on in game availability. I don't feel they've gone about the actual process of expanding the hair library in a stingy or backhanded way.

I'm still naturally as skeptical as you. I was a Viera throughout all of ShB and watched plenty of hairstyles get added while Viera and Hrothgar were told "be patient it'll take time". I hope the new ponytails work.

Still barely the bare minimum for hrothgar.

Yeah. I mean, I'm glad to see that particular issue addressed, but it does absolutely nothing to sway me. They're gonna have to try way harder than that before me and SE are on even remotely civil terms. Until then, I will be giving them crap when and where I can.

meanwhile, there are already mods to make this hat work on both races.

I know how you feel. I had to pick between feeling like myself but being denied part of the game or be someone else that was almost "me" but have access to everything. I have found loopholes though with alts but ofc....the best would be to get both worlds.
