Me: *Buys the Songbird Attire and realises that it cannot be equipped by Hrothgar* Sad noises...

If I remember it right in 6.1 Virea got:
- Dreadlocks
- The loose braid one
- The 2 ponytails at the back one
- The Rain Maker
- Both Ways
- Basic

Some of these look really nice on Viera so I am curious how they will look on Hrothgar.

thank youu

Ah yeah, those would be lovely though. I think they would look great on viera. I went through all hairstyles that my miqo has and there are alot of them to transfer to viera (20+something). I had just forgotten bc alot of them are short and boring.

Yeah, there's a HUUUUGE pile of short hairstyles shared between all the races/genders added between 2.0 and 4.0. A few are cute (double side fade) but most of them aren't memorable. We're nearing the conclusion of the universal hairstyle list a majority of Vieras probably care about having access to, which is a good thing. There are still a pile of Modern Aesthetics including a bunch of Mogstation hairstyles that need to be adapted to Viera, but I think we will be done with the highly requested styles before 7.0. There really aren't many left on either front.

I hope we get Wind Caller soon (Tuesday?) because that is one I know Hrothgars desperately want and the sooner Viera get it the sooner we know when Hrothgar will get it.

If you have the attire, you should get the emote to go with it.

Absolute meme hours today; there are more than a handful of comments on the Hroth/Viera hair update complaining about how catgirls, hyurs, etc. haven't had enough hairstyle focus and they're putting too much time into buns and lionmen. Worse - they're begging for Viera exclusive locked hair and have been for a while. Frigging excuse me? We had to wait 3 years to use new Modern Aesthetics or even default hairstyles, yet apparently it's now the bulk of the playerbase (that has access to absolutely everything) wanting Viera hairstyles? Like yeah, I agree Viera has some racial exclusives that are a hell of a lot better than entire list of catgirl exclusives. I wouldn't even care if they shared the full list among all races one day, but this complaint just ain't it. Amusing though, I'll give it that.

Not to say "pics or it didn't happen", I very much expected such a reaction.

But... I'm really not seeing other players complain about it anywhere. Is it happening on other forums (Twitter, reddit, etc.)?

Is this on the forums or another platform? Regardless, it's pretty funny. Like sure you can have the Viera/Hrothgar racial hairs when 1. We get access to the hairstyles you have already and 2. When they will open all racial hairs for everyone.
Viera and Hrothgar had to wait for 3 years to have access to the hairstyles the others already have. Hrothgar had to wait until 6.1 to even be able to change their hairstyles without a fantasia. We get some hairstyles added every new patch to get at the same point as they are, by no means are they new or race specific for us, they are the hairstyles already in the game that their race already has access to. So how is that a problem? You need to be a special type of arse to see people getting some quality of life improvement after 3 years of being ignored and be upset over it.

But I do want to see what delusions they are spouting on this subject. Got my popcorn ready and everything!

I can provide pictures if you want. It's happening primarily on Twitter.

Three I found again. I saw others earlier today. From Twitter.

Well, we've got one more hairstyle this time around that actually sort of fits Hrothgar on the way. Not completely (in my opinion) but sort of. Small victories. Still waiting on Wind Caller, SE.
