VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

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

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

Cats asking for more glam options is pretty funny. They have literally every hairstyle and glam option in the game styled to fit them. A few things they can't have won't kill them.

Ah, yes. The swirling mass of pure hatred that is Twitter. Go for the art, stay for the drama.

I mean, you asked for pictures and a source! I'm just here to provide. I don't feel comfortable sharing usernames or threads (can be found easily), but yeah, just wanted to prove that it is happening. Of course it isn't every catgirl/hyur/whatever, but the sentiment is out there.

Ugly rabbit?? Um. Have they ever seen Viera? Far from ugly. But if someone wants to refer to Viera as ugly. I'd rather be a Viera than Catclone#4896221

They are being catered to though, it's called literally the rest of the game Hrothgar and Viera do not have access to!

All the hairstyles, headgear, representation, NPCs, story focus, proper lore (bonus points if your lore doesn't amount to "but you can ignore this because everything got destroyed by fascists/you being outside your city means you no longer abide by it")

:P Funny how they only remembered we existed and actively supported us when their own racial traits got axed.

Yeah, I dunno. I don't get it. Just took screenshots of what was said. I obviously think Viera look gorgeous. Their flaw is lack of headgear options and hairstyles. They have beautiful faces and eyes with vibrant colours, detailed textures and some of the best default racial hairstyles in the game. They also have the most beautiful darker skin tons. If they had launched complete (full headgear, full hairstyles) I'm sure more folks would have swapped and stayed. How popular the race is even with the shortcoming and being locked to an expansion speaks volumes.

Not gonna lie, the "ugly rabbit" made me chuckle. I thought it was universally accepted that Viera are pretty. But sure, the "mere catgirls" played by 48-year-old dudes need more catering too! It's not like everything in this game is already catered to them, from glam to mount poses. But sure poor little forgotten catgirls got a total of 2 patches where they were not the epicentre of attention. Not like all the new hairstyles added are also available to them, as well as the hats, but let's forget about that, k?
And the racial hairstyle thing is pathetic honestly. You cannot have any other race-specific hairstyle if it's not your own's race. I remember them making the same kind of bickering when they realised they cannot have the F.roegadin-specific hairstyles. I am one of the people who like the Viera racial hair a lot, but I will never ask for it to be made available for other races, just like I didn't do it when female Roe were hated on for having cool long hair while the catgirls had didn't. (Jealousy much?)
Grow up, Viera and Hrothgar deserve this quality of life update and they deserve the future ones too, which will continue until the races will be completely implemented with access for both hair and headgear. Just like everyone else.

The poor thing must've had COVID, complete lack of taste.

Quick search on twitter and I haven't seen those tweets around... but given the immensity of the FF14 community I doubt they'd have any relevance.

I do agree with this tweet though.
