VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Dhalya]

Guys, you don't even want to know how much money they made by keeping hrothgar and especially viera races so limited for all this time... So many people fantasia to them, get annoyed and fantasia away. Adding more half-assed races like male viera and soon maybe female hrothgar is much more profitable for them than actually fixing what's already there.

The more amazing character you can create, the less often you are likely to buy fantasia and SE knows it, that's why its probably not a priority. It's so sad actually...

As sad as this is, its probably a true fact

I've only changed off of my hrothgar a few times since I've created him back in ShB, but you are right. I ended up getting several friends into 14 who wanted to play Hroth

They either

1. Switched to hyur, Au Ra, or Miqo'te
2. Quit all together

Which is sad because I was really looking forward to play with the ones who quit. When glim glams are a huge part of the game for a game like XIV, its very disappointing when they refuse to deliver for some of the races (Im looking at how bad roe's look in a lot of things...more specifically Male Roes. I mean, who wants to dress up a refrigerator?)

[Adamantini]

It's probably for the best not to expect much for that patch, and most likely nothing for viera. If anything releases for viera it'd be a surprise really.

It was quoted and already talked about a few pages back in the thread. The hrothgar stuff sounds to be just the already existing styles fitted for other faces, and nothing was said about the fantasia issue.

It would be VERY disappointing if they only add old hairstyles to all faces, but not fix the fantasia issue.
Disappointing, and a joke... a bad joke. But sadly, I will not be surprised if they do this.

Or worst case, they’ll go the same way as for the hyur stubble: they’ll code one face per hairstyle…

I really hope I’m wrong !

(Drank a lot of fantasia because of F Viera too T____T)

[Divinemights]

Worst scenario for SE: abandon entire Hrothgar project.
All Hrothgar players will be offer free race change when log on.

[Hreland]

I guess I'm the only one, who enjoys playing my Hrothgar?

However, I do wish there were more head pieces for my character to wear.

Honestly, this is 100% what I'm expecting them to do, since you can also semicustomize the hairstyle through the facial features tab, so unless they take out those options entirely, I highly doubt they'd be able to ever separate face from hairstyle.

My main concern though is whether the hairstyle will be edited to fit each head accordingly, or just go the "one size fits all" route without bothering to look whether they actually fit or not, like with the Bozja npcs



Sure, one can argue that's because it's an npc and not a player character model, but if this was supposed to be a glimpse of the feature, it didn't really leave a good first impression

I guess I'm the only one, who enjoys playing my Hrothgar?

People do enjoy playing Hrothgar, but after a certain amount of time the lack of customizations and £5 to change a hairstyle gets boring. I have quite a few friends who play FFXIV and selected Hrothgar as their starter character, they couldn't believe a race could have such limitations and exist to stand by and watch the other races get access to more hairstyles and hats... In the end, people do end up wondering "Why am I playing this race when I can just play a Miqo'te/Au'ra/Elezen etc which has access to all the headgear and hairstyles"

It's not that we don't enjoy Viera and Hrothgar, it's just that we should get what we're owed and were promised 3 years ago. I'm already witnessing certain people fantasia'ing from Male Viera back to their main races... The novelty's already wearing off.

Got to sadly say I gave SE my money for a fanta. I adore Viera, I do, but waiting for female Hrothgar (which are going to be limited, I understand) on another limited race is eating at me.
