New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

This was posted in a discord I'm in.


We were told the ears are part of the hair...

No they aren't. I don't see any ears.

If you look (or let do it), you will also notice, not only the ears are still part of head, but also that the new facial features are... separate meshes - or at least (more likely) new assignment definitions. See the Lion whose face you can split in half by giving 2 scars.

Or in other words: More complicated than needed, and just another corner they might code themselves in later.

So too were the males of your race. You don't see anyone complaining. Maybe your arthritis will catch up to theirs one day honeybun.

Seriously. This community needs to stop saying this crap. It just exposes the bullshit lie you keep feeding new players that the game is inclusive.

It's all so tiresome.

Right? I'm just... I'm just mad now. Like a lot of my posts have been me trying to use my toddler-tier Japanese to at least help explain why the Japanese patch notes and interview(s) seem so distant and apathetic in an attempt to at least be like hey, they aren't trying to be cruel...

But the fact is that it took modders less than 6 hours to add ears to the new hairstyles followed by information like this that entirely contridicts what Square and Yoshi-P told us. Like, just compete and utter fabrications on Square's part.

Like, what the hell? Just say you didn't get around to it! Don't lie to our face!

Can confirm, just saw an image of an Au Ra with it! Hope it's not a fake-out.

To be mor eprecise, they are in for all female races. Miqo even have some extra fluff around the base ear mesh, as needed. So no exceptions.

Hroth only get cropped ears and old styles, sold as completely new features. So, congratz to all others.

From what I read they did add a flag to the ears that makes them disappear with the newer hairs, but it just feels like more work for less, at least the fantasia fiasco is fixed, but damn.

I'm not clear on the terminology, but aren't the new facial features a completely new thing that they've built to replace the old thing (selection of hairstyle bit) that they don't need any more? All character models get five options, so they had to make something to fill the empty space. Are they not being handled how the other options are handled?

Despite this obviously being a joke, I can agree with your last statement about inclusivity

We got a ponytail! Except no ears...that was the one hairstyle where it doesn't make sense to have the ears hiding, THE HAIR IS BEHIND THE EARS!

[Alenonimo]

I think the biggest issue here is that the devs thought that having the ears clipping through the hair would look WORSE than having no ears at all.


The game even has a toggle on/off for the ears in the aesthetician. Why not let the players decide if they mind the ears clipping through hair or not?
