VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SherlottaEryut]

Viera would be the perfect race if they got the attention they deserve. Custom headgear, custom hairstyles, more heels, etc. What could be..

Oh I agree. I know it's a bit premature, but I sincerely hope whenever there's a new Final Fantasy MMO they'll do the Viera's and Hrothgar's justice (If they appear)... Like, completely go all out on the whole 'beastial' aspect of them. Digitigrade feet, proper race-defining outfits and really make them stand out.





I know it's a random image, but I remember loving how the Viera NPC's react differently depending if you play Fran or the humans. I loved the little details like this in games

I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing, continuing to ask that we get what we deserve in this game, regardless if I think they will actually ever do it or not. It seems they will relent, like with hrothgar. If we came together and asked for custom viera styles, we could get them. Maybe even more custom headgear. It isn't impossible. Hrothgar players rejected their new hairstyles, and Yoshida, even if he says it will take time, is willing to do custom hairs due to the backlash. I can be pretty negative at times, like earlier, but I actually just want the best for the game and the race.

I still catch myself saying "we" with viera. I guess I still consider myself a viera player, no matter how much I try to cope with the situation. I probably always will.

I like those little details as well. I still remember the Kojin questline, they remark about your race. I think the viis tribe on the first will also do the same if you are a viera.

You simply cannot expect that from Indie developers! /s

MY apologies!!
I forgot 'small indie company no money' will strike again!!

We're in this together. I will also continue here tormenting SE, as I did with the male viera and the female hrothgar. At this point, my signature is nothing more than a place of protest.

It's the only way we will see change. That hopefully, some day, they will see our feedback, and listen. If we stop, and accept what we get, nothing will ever change, and may even get worse. Viera/hrothgar deserve better.

I keep pining to be Viera again, but them and hrothgar just need to go back into the oven and rebake, a whole patch dedicated to just fixing the issues derived from the race coming out premature, it's especially concerning with the wanted update to the graphics of races and such they are looking at long term.

Still sad both genders couldn't get those feet and the inhuman short waist and long limbed proportions... the feet I can see being troublesome, but it's odd since Elezen/Elvaan are known for their long limbs and long necks and they got those carried over just fine. The male Au Ra manage just fine with their body type as well. I can only dream...

[HeyMcFly]

Sorry, but after so long waiting for something, I really don't believe they will do something like that anymore. They never promised helmets for both races, true, but promised exclusive hair to make up for it. 3 years and nothing.
At this point, I just want to wear my redmage or bard hat; having my Noctis hair again; buy something at mogstation, without having to be afraid that it won't work for my race; make an event and not frustrate me because the reward is a hair or a hat that doesn't fit me...
Since they changed the idea of giving unique hair, and started making old hair, they might as well start to at least remove the restrictions on the new helmets.

I'm not against what you're saying - I don't think you're wrong BUT to add to this; since ShB, I've seen abuncha posts about people wanting unique headpieces but there were way more posts (and threads) about adding existing hats & saying "no" to folks wanting future headgear/ hairs designed more around Viera/ Hrothgar. Because people I assume, thought that if they all asked for unique hairs, they then wouldn't get hats/ mog station hairs. That should not be the case ever. It should be both that are added. That's on the devs for failing this & tricking players into thinking they had to choose.

It was alot of wishy- washy between folks though & (no, I'm not defending the devs) nor blaming the entire playerbase bc the devs can absolutely design future headgear for these races- they just stopped. (look at miqo'te hats, some have holes for their ears)
I want hats to be added for Viera & Hroth. I'd LOVE for my Miqo to have more hats that let her ears poke through (without clipping) I personally think it's ugly when hats/ hoods have the weird ear coverings.

But having future headgear designed for Viera/ Hroth is a good thing to want & something we should keep requesting- bc also, Au Ra can finally have more headgear without having the weird horn clipping if it becomes true.
AND we should also want current headgear/ hairs added for Viera/ Hroth.

I'm probably too hopeful but I also thought they'd never add Lyse's hair because people argued with me on that too (no, I don't think you're arguing with me)
But legit, people would say "no, you have enough hairs! you don't need NPC hairs" Like- uh yeah. I do. I do need them. They're unique & look better than what we have. They're pretty/ good looking hairs & I'm here requesting it everywhere I can.

[KizuyaKatogami]

This is beyond ridiculous. They cant make previous headgear work with viera? Fine. Sure, whatever. But to not even make a new helmet locked behind a grind fucking wearable by them is beyond ridiculous. People have the audacity to say Yoshi P and the devs care? Yeah no. If they cared, they would have made this wearable, or not release it until it was wearable by everyone. If they can make the cryptlurker helmet wearable i fail to see why this one cant be as well.

I am right with you
I want to be a Viera so, so much. But, they just don't look how I had hoped- they look incomplete to me- I wish they had the same ears as they did in XII, As well as the spots at the tips.
I want them to have more unique outfits (like the ones you see Mjrn wear & other viera in XII) Many have different outfits & armors in that game. I want to see more shoes/ boots that give them their odd feet back.
The fluffy/ wild hair they have in XII & tactics art- where is that in XIV? I want to be able to choose the ear diadem/ headgear you see Mjrn wear & Fran wear on all hairstyles.

It won't happen but one can wish.
