Then you've got Viera and Hrothgar still with minimal helmet support, and the Hrothgar hairstyles that were "added" look... I'm gonna be honest, they look bad. I don't know one way or the other, but they LOOK low-effort.

Now in fairness, I haven't really done much since finishing the MSQ, and I've heard the "Myths of the Twelve" content is some of the coolest content the team has ever put out. So I don't mean to sit here and pretend they aren't clearly working very hard.

But cosmetics are a huge driving force in the game, and I worry when it SEEMS like the cosmetic additions all seem like recolors of existing gear.
Ultimate weapons have always been shiny versions of previous weapons with a special effect added to them.
UCoB: Bahamut weapons
UwU: Stage 2 ARR relics
TEA: Stage 2 HW relics
DSR: King Thordan weapons

I wasn't expecting any changes to Viera and Hrothgar as that's what they announced when they were released. I do find it funny that there's someone out there that has made a mod that allows them to wear most headgear. If a random person can do this in their free time, why can't SE?

You should check out the gear from the alliance raid. It's really nice, in my opinion.
