New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

I'm just wondering if he'll even acknowledge it, it would be nice to at least get a "We are working on it" instead of radio silence.

Wouldn't be FFXIV if they didn't leave every issue until the last minute and then beg us to "please understand".

"We've already "please understood" for 3 years. If this is the best you have after giving us a whole new race and adding options to their counterparts that worked on them, then I'm sorry but there's no understanding this."

I was going to say that's the more likely thing we'll get "Please Understand" you know, small indie company who made the most popular Final Fantasy game (well Expansion) twice in a row doesn't have the resources to give Hrothgar ears.

Weren't these hairstyles delayed too?

They didn't actually say they were gonna release them for EW but when asked they did admit they had to push it off. So, yessss technically.

The best analogy that I can think of when it comes to this situation is this:

You go to a restaurant and order a steak, the waiter says it will be done as soon as possible. After a few moments, you can see a lot of waiters bringing food to the other tables and everything looks amazing. An hour passes and your food is still not here, you ring the waiter to see what's wrong and they say they will bring it forth to the chefs and look forward to it. The second hour passes, you try and ring the waiter but he ignores you, meanwhile, the food for the other tables keeps coming. Three hours pass and you get ready to request to talk to the manager when the waiter comes out with a plate of food and comes toward you. But there is a problem... the steak is raw and the vegetables are burnt. You ask the waiter "What is this?" and they say to please understand and pretend the meat is cooked and the vegetables aren't burned. You get angry and demand to speak with the manager, they come with the chef in the toe and start to explain to you that this was a hard day for the chef, he lost 5 dollars on the side of the road and his pet cow keeps farting in the living room, as well as the stove that they used to prepare your meal doesn't work. As a human being, you empathise with them and say that you get it, but you are a customer who has been delivered raw food after being put to wait for 3 hours. You get that the chef had a bad time, but this at the end of your day is not your problem to solve, it's the restaurant's. You didn't receive what you requested after waiting for more than 3 hours, meanwhile, everyone else in that restaurant seemed to get good food in a timely manner.

inb4 people saying that he should stop crying on camera, he's a grown man and should act professional and do his darn job than wasting time acting overly emotional.

exactly. crying doesn't fix anything, really.
players will still be unhappy and many will relent simply bc a few tears were shed from a guy most of us like, even though he allowed this to happen.

which is not only absurd but a ridiculously easy fix which is why it's so strange they decided to just... lop them off. it isn't that difficult to just pin them to the top of a hairstyle.

but i sound like a broken record at this point.

Maybe it's because of the model difference or something and that they would had to make them from scrach ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well anyway we get the short end of the stick like always

I remember reading a comment a while ago that said "Why do I feel the devs are suddenly very busy getting ready for the 6.1 launch". Seeing the overwhelmingly negative wave of backlash this has received, I wouldn't be surprised
