New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

Bunny boys launching first is proof enough which of these two the devs care about more.

I fail to see how bringing in a gender counterpart is showing preferential treatment. Did I actually get anything from male Viera being implemented? I can't wear them as a hairstyle, nor as headgear, so... Can you elaborate your thought process please? I'm confused.

I did not ask, neither did I want male Viera implemented, at least not until female Viera and male Hrothgar were fixed and up to date with the other races.

Yeah, Male Viera got in first because ... Male Viera whiners are the ONLY reason we're getting both Male Viera and Female Hrothgar. Shockingly, the loudest wheel got the grease, seeing as everyone assumed bunny bois would be their male body type fetish and female Hrothgar would just be furry "dudes with boobs" but supported them mostly outta fairness.

I kind of feel that nothing will be mentioned at all, just swept under the rug essentially and it'll happen again.
I HOPE NOT, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did this again to Hrothgar.

I definitely have to chime in and also mention how disappointing these look, I changed to Hrothgar only somewhat recently after how cool they looked, but these are just so.. off. Having the ears just culled off makes it look really strange outside of the one with a hat, and even then it would probably still work with the ears too.

It is nice to see a discussion about this topic getting some support and active conversation. Truthfully, when I saw the unveiling of the new hairstyles, I thought it was a trick, especially with the April 1st date and laughing that was occurring during the reveal. Still, after seeing the preliminary patch notes showing the same hairstyles and the fact that the Hrothgar ears are still missing, I realized that it likely wasn't and felt disappointed.

I'll reserve final judgment until after the patch releases, as I'm hoping that we will at least be able to freely select between the hairstyles currently tied to all the Hrothgar face options and that we won't need to use a Fantasia to do so. If we, at least, get these additions, I will be happy enough with the changes, as it will be a significant step up from being able to use only one hairstyle. If we don't, it'll be disheartening. Except for the Snow hairstyle, I honestly don't see myself using any of the options shown, especially since the ears are gone, so it'll feel like the entire period of waiting for new hair, and the excitement over the addition was just a waste.

Just to add a little humor in here...

Yoshi-P and the devs should feel shame for this, but on the bright side the memes are glorious, lol!

And now we wait.
24 hours.

Neither viera or hrothgar are getting racial styles and instead get copy pasted shared hairstyles, that are seemingly barely altered to even look good or work with either viera or hrothgar models. I don't think SE ever intended on giving either female viera or male hrothgar much support after their release. The difference between the two is hrothgar, most likely, requires much more work than viera in regards to styles and everything else due to how they were built.

Well.. they did say they were planning on updating textures & character customization in 7.0, so Female Hrothgar should be fine. It's not as if they're going to design female Hrothgar with 6.0 textures and then exclude that race out again while every other race gets the 7.0 update. They wouldn't be so daft to do that and then take another 2 years to update Hrothgars again just to be up to par with everyone else in 7.0, right? Right?

Goodness. I'm really starting to doubt the ability of SE's basic decision-making as of late...

Final patch notes are up, they added:
"Regardless of your progression in the main scenario, these changes will be available when creating new characters, editing your character's appearance using Fantasia, or hiring a retainer. Otherwise, these options will be available when visiting the aesthetician."

We're still earless with those new hairstyles BUT we do no longer have to use real money to change hair. Extremely glad they completely cleared that up.
