VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Yencat]

Actually I checked which legacy we had left and it is only the sidecut and the one with the hairband left so hopefully we get those. I really like the sidecut one.

Probably the semi-long center part hair that has a fringe and no fringe version.

I could see them maybe skipping the hairband and Moenbryda hair because of where the ears are positioned, but we'll see

Yeah, I'm anticipating both versions of that hair (middle part and fringe) plus the basic ponytail. Maybe one more if they count the first two styles as one, which they may - they were added in the same patch. They already skipped the headband style because it would have clipped irreparably with ears. Miqos don't have access to it either for this reason + they already moved on in the hairstyle list without implementing it, so my educated guess is that one will never be ported to Viera. Just like the "bald" styles.

As for the modern aesthetics I don't know what the third will be. Saintly Style and Adventure are confirmed. The third could be any random wild card. I haven't noticed any pattern. My money is on a popular style like Plait or Form, but it could be something like the Bozja mullet or the other pvp hair.

As for what base game hairs Hroth get it will be Jesus cut with the forehead band, Atoriel's and the one in the preview. Modern aesthetics will be Both Ways, Rainmaker (as seen in the preview) and Fashionably Feathered.

I hope they will add this one, it's really cute ♥

I'll be a prickly bi*ch. Someone ought to. But not because Square needs to hear negativity, Square needs to not be so meek about this topic.

This is really well done, hairstyles that actually start to fit the Hrothgar frame and concept more over 2Peanut. This is refreshing to see and I HOPE they don't sleep on us now for another three years.

That said... Square still needs an earpull. Because we didn't get these hairstyles mentioned or presented in fanfests or live letters. Which is just downright silly. Because we want them to know that they're doing a good job. We want to give them praise for the stuff they get right, and have that level of detail keep coming. This is a good thing, a definite step-up from "meme faces" or "Peanut skull" and "chopped off ears". Honestly solid hairstyles in comparison.

So why are Hrothgars again being left out of mentions yet again? xD Because they fear our reactions? Well, these are cool hairstyles. And we should give praise where there's stuff to praise, we're not always going to be negative nancies. This is one such case where praise shines through. And it's by seeing the fans' reactions and know whether or not they're on the right track that Square can feel confident in their skill to present stuff that's good like this more often. To further nail on what fits our race versus what doesn't.

Understanding the difference between this and April 1st is key for future updates imo. And Square shouldn't be so afraid of their fan reaction. This is a good thing, and this is only the beginning of what people actually asked for. There's a lot more that fits and meets this level of acceptance over Karen Hair 2Peanut.

The takeaway, Square, is that you're starting to nail it. And rather than feeling so uptight over poor reactions about what you yourselves know were garbage attempts at memes, actually take people seriously and feel good when you actually think things through and present stuff that fits.

Now. Wind Caller and Styled for Hire next, yes?
Because those also fit Hrothgars very well and are hairstyles that MIGHT also fit Viera too.
I'm not too sure about Wind Caller fitting Vieras due to the massive forehead, but I've seen modded versions of Hrothgar so I do know it can work for us.

10/10, I'm happy, I'm satisfied, keep 'em coming, please don't be afraid to try again with your community. We only want you to succeed.

Does anyone know the name of the 6.1 viera hairstyles hroths would potentially be getting? I'd like to see if I can get them

or did they get added automatically to charather creation, so its not modern aesthetics?

If I remember it right in 6.1 Virea got:
- Dreadlocks
- The loose braid one
- The 2 ponytails at the back one
- The Rain Maker
- Both Ways
- Basic

Some of these look really nice on Viera so I am curious how they will look on Hrothgar.

I thought about it, the sidecut one is probably quite hard to transfer to viera bc of the ears positions, I agree. The hairband shouldnt be that hard though...? If they did the nier one?
I had forgotten the ponytail!! That would be lovely and quite simple for them to add compared to the sidecut. Idk which hairstyle you mean with the semilong centerpart....?

The braid, ponytails and dreads are female exclusive, these are the male equivalents Hrothgar will (probably?) get.

These are the 3 "base game" styles male Viera got in 6.1.

Yeah they did do the Nier one, kinda poorly though and they probably thought so as well because like Caro said they skipped over it in the release order to the next in line.



This is the one I'm talking about

Hurrah to a better selection of hairs for Hrothgar! Sure, they're the Viera hairs from 6.1, but the quality is getting better.

Don't get sloppy, SE! You're on the right track.

I'm also glad that I farmed Saintly Style from that tombstone event a while back. I don't know if it'll look good on my Viera, but it's worth trying it out.

Edit: Just realized during my lunch break that I could've made a "Sloppeh!" joke, and now I'm disappointed in myself.

[LuciaMirain]

Ah yeah, those would be lovely though. I think they would look great on viera. I went through all hairstyles that my miqo has and there are alot of them to transfer to viera (20+something). I had just forgotten bc alot of them are short and boring.
