VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[einschwartz]

Bro, re-link the twitter if you have it. I know this artists work has been posted before, and I cant remember it or find it.

I gotchu.

Just here to echo the sentiments of the OP. I LOVE my Viera so much that I'll continue to play her despite the limitations. No other race does it for me like these beautiful bunnies. Going forward, I'd really like to see some improvements here though. Future content should include all races and genders. My purchases on the store should buy just as much as anyone else's characters.

That's disappointing for sure. Sad having to do this but changed race today. Miqote it is. Hopefully in the future they will fix Viera, maybe 7.0.

I hope you had some spare free ones on you. Otherwise that's more money to SE over this.

Much Love <3

A thought:

If Square Enix are going to continue with this neglect for much longer, they should bring in a 'warning' when Viera or Hrothgar are selected on the character creation menu. It's extremely unfair that new players join the game and pick either of these races only to discover down the line that they're severely restricted. I understand, from a business point of view it's most likely in their best interest not to do this, but if SE want to retain their reputation for being a highly respected company, they should at least give people a warning that these races are being worked on at a slow pace. In the live letter, SE only briefly mentioned Hrothgar receiving more hairstyles in 6.1... But how many do we think they're going to get?

The next Live Letter will be on 4th of March, I'm hoping we'll get a look at the hairstyles and I'm praying they will finally disclose their future plans for these two races.

Unless they've recently removed it there is actually a warning when you create a Hrothgar or a Viera saying that certain hairstyles and headgear will be unavailable, it wasn't there originally but they added it a little while after Shadowbringers launched after complaints about it.

EDIT: Just tried to create a Viera and there was no warning, either I'm starting to lose it or they considered those 6 hairstyles they added enough to remove the warning.

Maybe it's only after you use a Fantasia? I could've sworn it was there after character creation as well but it was so long ago I took the screenshot I honestly can't remember. It mentions "changes" so it may well have been after a Fantasia use.

I agree it should definitely be there during character creation though, even though you get a free Fantasia it's not logical for a new player to think they'd have to preemptively Google about playable race issues with hairstyles and headgear.

Just here to complain a bit more over all the hairstyles I have gathered that I can't use which makes it harder to make glams since the few hairstyles we have clip with alot of gear.

Also still confused about the chosen 6 hairstyles (although I love the karen one). Hopeful that we will get more soon, please gives us more soon I just want what I paid for like everyone else tyvm!

*frustrated noises*

I'ma sad already to changed from Viera but honestly refreshing all these hats I saved and hairstyles. Bunny my favorite still, but happy to change until they get fix

[Allegor]

Optimist: actual new hairstyles, and Hroth CC is overhauled and their hair and face are completely separated and can use the aesthetician freely

Pessimist: face 2, the most popular face/"hair" gets copy pasted into the other 3 and call it a day. Still need to Fantasia

Realist: still need Fantasia, but all 8 hairstyles are copied onto each of the 4 faces, making a total of 32 "faces" to choose from.

I am feeling the itch as well but I always regret it when I fantasia, I just love how my bunny looks and no other character I have created comes close. I just wish miqotes and au ras were taller. Would love to be able to use the hairstyles I purchased for real money at least.
