Current state of Viera and Hrothgar

[LinaAkayomi]

There was ZERO mention of hairstyles for hrothgals in the patch notes and usually they show a pic of something. Are we legit getting NOTHING in 7.2? That seems insane to me, that for almost all of 2025 barely any hairstyles will be added. I want the dreadlocks!

7.1 mentioned new hairstyles:


But on 7.2? Not a single peep, not on the LL, not on the patch notes
Most likely? Nothing new at all


Please look forward to it!!!

Cosmic Exploration and Occult Crescent are both going to need glam rewards and both are likely to include hairstyles. So it's probably all coming in 7.22 and 7.25 instead of 7.2 proper

Thankfully with new hairstyles everyone gets them now, but as for more past hairstyles it is going to have to be wait and see.

I really hope they give us the winning hairstyle Gold & Locs made by Efan soon. That one would look amazing on female Hrothgar.

My fellow hrothgal ladies, thanks to fellow PC folks, the 7.2 patch has been datamined, and I am thrilled to say we have seven new hairstyles coming our way (dreadlocks is one of them which has me stoked).

Really!? YES!!! Strange that it wasn't listed in the patch notes. Maybe they are holding it off until the 7.2X patches. Either way I'm so happy right now.


Edit: I got into the game. So happy right now. The Rainmaker hairstyle looks amazing! With how long 7.2 is going to last, I may grow to attached to use modern legends in 7.3.

This is correct!
I just validated this leak in game, and we have some new hairs to try out
I know someone in the thread wanted the dreadlocks on Hrothgal, guess you lucked out!

Bumping so the good-ish news spread

Viera got some hairstyles added as well about 4 I think, none of the cash shop ones though.

A certain goddess's hair (and outfit) was datamined and is useable for all races but is likely cash shop.

The Viera and Hrothgar situation with hats is completely ridiculous, so I decided to do some math.

As of writing this comment (27th March, OCE) it's been 4230 days since the release of ARR. it's also been 2095 days since the release of Shadowbringers and thus the release of Fem Viera and Male Hrothgar.

In 40 days, we're going to hit a magical event where Shadowbringers will have been out for half of ARRs lifetime (4270/2 = 2135, 2095+40 = 2135) and Viera/Hroth will have been in the game longer than they haven't been in the game. and in all this time (5.85 YEARS as of this event horizon) they still have not done the bare minimum to get these new races on par with the others. Hroth and Viera players should be mad about this, it's absolutely ridiculous that a game as popular and profitable as FFXIV cannot fix issues with player characters that has almost been in the game longer than it hasn't been.

I guess the silver lining for me is I never wear hats, and in games I can turn headgear off, I do. So, it ends up being no real difference for me. That being said, the female hrothgar heads aren't all that crazy, so not sure why headgear is so difficult for them to adapt.
