Every time a new glam set is added where Veira and Hrothgar cannot wear headgear-

[BurningSoul]

Hi, everyone. Did you miss me? No? You know what did miss me? Zero's hat in her store attire.

FYA, I am not gonna post pics anymore because half the time they don't work and I'm not doing this to advertise for them. I trust you all to find them yourselves more than I trust the team to make more hats wearable at this point.

Tbh, I had a feeling this set was coming sooner or later and I was 99.9% sure we would not be able to wear the hat. This one hurts especially because Zero's hat is low-key iconic and it's a great hat honestly.

I really wish CBU3 would address this. At least say there is work being done in a live letter, but I guess that would be a lie. Wouldn't it?

Sarcasm and jokes aside. Please address this CBU3. I have heard that your team has downsized again. In case this is true. I highly suggest doing some outsourcing.

I understand there are technical limitations related how these particular races work, but they've had years to work on it.

My hope was it was going to be part of the graphical update, and they didn't want to do the work twice... but instead we get a Fanfest where they kept going on and on about how hard they worked on a lalafell's face.

And still the made my beloved potato look awful different because of the new weird mouth, creepy sharp edged smile und dead eyes because their new eye highlight feature does not work well for dunesfolk. :c

I will post my complaints about it to this thread. I am aware that once again, despite the fact I am paying the same sub fee as everyone else, I am getting access to less because of the race I play and I am not being compensated for it in any other way.

Before any or the usual rebuttals or excuses inevitably show up, I promise you I have heard and read them before. This is yet another thread expressing my disappointment and frustrations that this has yet to be addressed outside of shrinking certain hats or simply moving away from them in recent gear sets.

CBU3 please be aware we are very much aware of the smokescreen every time anyone posts new glam/armor photos in the shop or promotional material that don't feature Viera or Hrothgar and/or don't feature any new headgear on them that other races are wearing without any modifications (Fallguys).

After so many years on behalf of players that genuinely love and appreciate this race. I ask for compensation via unique headgear, unique hairstyles (since some have already been given to other npcs in the game of different races), or small incremental additions of old headgear being wearable during patch cycles.

At minimum, make unique headgear for the races and make new players aware of the limitations before they pick that race to start the game before they suffer the slow burning disappointment as I went through ARR through EW as I remained dedicated to my Viera and realized that no additional support in the mentioned areas seem to be being made. Dawntrail was partially sold on the addition of putting hats and eyewear together. Much to my shock and dismay there aren't many hats/headgear we can actually test this with.

Fellow players, feel free to voice your opinions and additional concerns with Viera and Hrothgar. I will keep this thread alive alone or we can do it together until action is taken. I am tired of saying nothing. If there was development time to address the state of feet in the game there is for this issue in the foreseeable future.

Thank you CBU3 I love and appreciate all you do for this community despite what I may say each time this occurs.

I said the same thing nearly 6 years ago when Shadowbringers was released. I was flabbergasted by the fact that they implemented a new race, knew they were doing so for years at that point, and then did not take that race into account in their gear design plans going forward and STILL released gear that they couldn't wear... it's inexcusable. It was inexcusable 6 years ago, and it's still inexcusable now.

I understand there are technical limitations related how these particular races work, but they've had years to work on it.

My hope was it was going to be part of the graphical update, and they didn't want to do the work twice... but instead we get a Fanfest where they kept going on and on about how hard they worked on a lalafell's face.

THIS. My man went on for like, 15 minutes about Lalafell faces and I was like, "My dude, I cannot tell the difference. You are ranting about something that literally no one but you will notice, while everything else you did looks mediocre or terribad." The longer it ran on, the more it got on my nerves. Even Lala players I know can't tell the difference, after the "update". It reeks of misplaced priorities and wasted resources.

I still can't forgive them for ruining my Middie's facial expressions. All her expressions used to look so cute and charming, and now half of them look like a sociopath trying to emulate an emotion instead of actually feeling it.

All they needed to do to player characters was update the body and hair textures, something that modders can apparently do easily, and have done a FAR better job of doing. But no, CSIII had to waste time and resources doing something no one asked them to do and was not necessary.

Hello everyone! I hope you all are enjoying 7.2 from every aspect.

Unless you like wearing things on your head and you happen to play Viera or Hrothgar. You don't get to enjoy things.

There is tiny good news. To my current understanding we can wear the crafted hats...well some of them when it comes to the combat gear.

Regardless, we still cannot wear most of the new head gear introduced. When it comes to the Fending Tome gear in particular it seems Hrothgar can wear it at least, so a small win for some. It's still not acceptable, but I am happy for my feline siblings.

Many moons ago we were promised that funds towards FFXIV would not be withheld from the game. What is happening in this regard? We desperately need an update on CBU3's progress when it comes to addressing the Viera/Hrothgar hat issue.

It's not even disappointing anymore. It just makes me angry.

Honestly it's surprising the new helmet doesn't work, since I don't see why it wouldn't
I have to assume it's intentional as to not have the ears show and thus be unprotected

[LittleArrow]

There's no excuse for this. It's been years. We've waited enough. All the races are finished with their opposite gender. Players were able to fix this months after Shadowbringers launch, absolutely the developers should have this fixed. LET OUR EARS CLIP THROUGH! Everywhere helmet that let's us do this so far looks great. We don't need armored ears, we don't need a whole new system to fix this issue. Just let our stinking ears clip. It's crazy this is still a problem.

Since this game has another 10 year plan...

What do we see first... The colonization of Mars or Viera/Hrothgar headgear fixed?

As much as I would love to give the devs the benefit of the doubt there's plenty of headgear that leaves ears exposed on other class types too. But a funny thing to think about is only certain gear types get ear protection lol.

I would honestly be okay with just letting the ears clip. Tails already clip. Other body parts clip. Just let them clip and let us wear everything.

Looks like we'll be colonizing several planets before we can wear headgear. Also due to limitations Viera and Hrothgar cannot wear Space Helmets, so bye oxygen.
