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

"The worst foe lies within the self."
We ARE mad, the problem is everyone that isn't a Hroth or Viera aren't mad about it because it doesn't affect them. (Either their race isn't one of those or they don't wear hats anyway).
But, it does affect everyone because if they are happy to keep cutting corners with stuff like this, they will find more ways to cut corners (aka no ears on Miqo hats). They are testing the waters with what they can get away with not doing and they'll get away with it because not enough people care about how viera/hroth are getting royally screwed.
There are PAID ITEMS we can't use.
There is CONTENT IN THE GAME we can't see.
We pay just as much as everyone else. This isn't like, "oh waahh, I have to do content for the hairstyle that's still available with gil" this is, "I spent money on the Yshtola outfit back during Stormblood and now I can't use that hairstyle at all." It's, "I bought the art book and got Matoya's Hat but I can't wear it at all."
Every single player should be f*cking disgusted about this because it is seriously gross that it's been nearly 6 years and we STILL CAN'T USE SHIT WE PAID FOR PRE SHB.
But they don't care cuz they've got their RP hubs, they've got their free trial races that don't have this problem, they don't wear hats anyway so f*ck the rest of us. They tell us if we are so mad about it than to unsub, but that's not going to fix this because SE tells people to stop playing the game all the time. There isn't a way for you to communicate with them that the reason you are leaving is because you can't wear a hat or use items you have purchased. They don't listen to feedback from the community unless it's damaging and not enough people want to hurt them.

Viera got a couple new hairstyles in the aesthetician, one of them is a long hair with a headband that I think OG races have already, but the headband is bugged and disappears under the ears and center of the head. I can't seem to find anybody else posting about it though lol
It's the same with the 2b Hairstyle. They don't care and only remove the bit between the ears instead of the whole thing.Viera got a couple new hairstyles in the aesthetician, one of them is a long hair with a headband that I think OG races have already, but the headband is bugged and disappears under the ears and center of the head.

I honestly have no idea. There are a lot of questionable things they do. Maybe the part between the ears was more noticeable so they removed it.
Maybe there is something about Viera ears that the space between them makes it easy to remove details from the hairstyles like the hairbands or braids like with Form and Function.
Whatever the reason they halfheartedly worked on them and left the bottom parts of the hairbands. If they truly cared the quality would have reflected that.
Could have replaced the bottom bits of hairband with a patch of hair for example. Whatever the case it is what it is. Sad.
It's soooo bad, it makes me itch just looking at.Viera got a couple new hairstyles in the aesthetician, one of them is a long hair with a headband that I think OG races have already, but the headband is bugged and disappears under the ears and center of the head.
