But Boy, I sure should be proud that the devs screwed my race so hard, it took them 3 YEARS to give me a basic cosmetic customization feature that every other race already had. Totally wasn't because they cut so many corners, it could be a circle.
Yeah, also it deprives viera and hrothgar players of iconic job-related head gear, precisely like a red mage or black mage hat (or really any other artefact head gear). What if you want to live your job fantasy and proudly show off that you are a red mage (or any other job), or even better, that you are a viera/hrothgar who is also a red mage (etc.)?
For example, by adding head gear that also shows our ears (like they do for some elezen or miqo head gear).
But even if head gear were to "cut off" our ears you'd still recognise we are viera/hrothgar... So this idea that we are not "proud" of our races and want to "hide" our features is silly because those races are clearly not just their ears, esp. hrothgars. (As for vieras, even without ears they still have very distinct features and poses.)
