VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[excitableemu]

I know these hairstyles are kinda not 100% great examples for Viera
But Tactics had some great designs regardless

I would like to see more viera specific hairstyles (as well as reward & mog station hairs)
but for the best result I think we should band together & ask for Viera specific hairstyles

I don't mind clipping, I don't wear clothes that clip
I play a miqo so don't mind my tail even if it does clip

Long hair please

I really like all of these especially the second one with orange and the purple
+1 Viera and Hrothgar are mostly ignored and I for one would like further clarification on the direction Yoshi-P plans to take these races and what kind of updates can we see
I was a hrothgar since Shadowbringers and only recently became elezen because hrothgar have gotten zero updates at all, only word on possible updates but with anything relevant everyone has been in the dark

It halfway feels like they are milking the lack of updates for these races so people will keep using fantasia

Please give Viera more Viera-like hairstyles - with the viera tiaras and long, wild hair (to further help without the need for hats, give them better hair than what they have)
Please, PLEASE shed more light on plans to fix hrothgar

I found this photo on HeyMcfly's forum post. They have a megathread on hairstyles and I just love this photo - SquareEnix could really gather so much inspiration from their thread.

Mjrn's hairstyle from XII would be easy to bring in due to no threat of clipping. I guess Jote's one is like a Viera hairstyle we have now only much less puffier.

I only went back to Miqo'te cause literally ALL of the in Game available Hairstyles for male Viera look feminin. The only one that doesnt is from the Shop and it only fits certain glamthemes.

The upper left one and the bottom left is something I could see myself rolling with.

I've been thinking about it and, at this point, I would agree to the idea of not having ALL the head gear, but just some of it? Like they could choose certain items that fall into a specific theme (I.e. a cowboy hat, a tank helmet etc.) if they're so hesitant to adjust every piece in the game. Can't believe I'm begging for less because I don't even have the bare minimum lol.

Also, the fact that we're not getting seasonal items from events is just absurd. It really feels like a spit in the face and I'm actually kind of shocked it's not being addressed widely. Like, do they really just ignore it and dont really talk about it on the Japanese side of the forum?

I thought about this... First of they need to actually design the hat-friendly version of hairstyles for the Viera exclusive hairs.

With that, it would be possible to unlock many more head items, most of them just letting the ears clip through, like simple bandanas, caps, pot helms.

I do agree that there are some items that would be impossible to adapt to Viera because the item layout would clip horribly with the way our ears are positioned on the head, but it would be nice if, knowing this issue, they could see to at least adapt one of each basic shape, like you suggested, one cowboy hat... one pointy wizard hat, etc.

Realistically, I feel like bringing all the aesthetician hairstyles to viera is a more reasonable ask than completely new styles that could only be used on one race and one gender. Just my feeling on the matter.

As for the hats topic. It may be almost cliche at this point, but modders have done it. Able to turn hats on and off with the changing of a checkbox in the item metadata. Not all of them are gonna look right, with how viera ears float on the head, but a majority do. On top of that, they've also created hat compatible versions of base hairstyles.

So it's not impossible, it was just most likely work that was instead sacrificed at the alter of the MSQ. (In favor of the MSQ and other major features)

Of all the hairstyles to pick from, why did we get 9s (ugly) and karen (speaks for itself)! On top of that, one of the few new styles added to viera is at this point store bought only.

Form and Function? Gyr Abanian Plaits? How about some hairstyles that people have actually been begging for? Or better yet! How about just adding all the aesthetician hairstyles and not this less than half-assed method we got so far?

At least yall get hairstyles <_<

Dont worry Seven, you'll get your new hair apparently in 6.1, hopefully you wont have to pay 10$ to change it.

I think it was said thats being worked on.
And that All face options will have access to all the hairs previously tied to each Head.
Now I just hope both A...we get some good new styles. And B that I can use the Unicorn horn on more then the 4th face.

Mjrn's hairstyle would be gold. I dislike how 2B hairstyle, which is a bob, looks because (besides the awful hairbandbutchering) you can't see the face of the character. It sits like a helmet a bit. I just want some softer hairstyles, some waves. With that said, I don't think they will bring in more raceexclusive hairstyles. as someone else said it is probably easier to adapt existing hairstyles than make new ones, even with inspiration.
