NEW COOL HAT ? Guess what ... ?

Miqos might be joining you in the same boat soon, with how many instances there already are of hats and helmets that don't have ear slots for Miqos, or the Vanguard Fending armour that cuts off Miqo tails and being labelled as "Working As Intended". Now I look through the melee job sets for Chaotic and despite being modelled with tail armour - No tails.

The quest that you get it from even has dialogue suggesting putting it on Nitowikwe. They've got to be aware of what they're doing

Yeah I literally came here to post about this.
The NPC that gives you the outfit asks you to try and get Nitowikwe to wear it, as a nod to the glamour system for the custom delivery NPCs. But you go to do it, and the hat can't be seen....

Actual clown company lmao

I think dev are regarding this as a very minor issue. Why?
Just look around, most people don't wear hat (they turned off the hat visibility or hlamed it with glasses).
So why bother making hat compatible with the few races that have this issue? they must think that's a waste of time.

I believe you have a point here.

Hrothgar and Viera's lack of headwear is most likely due to the same reason that male Midlanders cannot combine scruff and beards and in most cases can't even have a beard.

SQEnix and the Japanese playerbase probably do not think it is important enough, but as a westerner, the fact that there is only one mature-looking male midlander face and the rest look like early teenagers is rather perplexing (and bizarre to me) in comparison to what other MMO/RPGs offer.

I'll give them a break because the game is old but other MMORPGs have worked on updating their character creators over time, and I believe it's a crucial aspect of an MMORPG to have a diverse cast of faces in todays day and age.

It's my belief that they just make the gear for hyur and slap it on everyone else. Alot of races lost unique features and became more 'standardized' due to their 'fancy' polygon? unification.
It's just laziness really.

My male Viera can't wear the hat either. It's just...baffling at this point, really.
I actually can't understand the thought process behind releasing a new item in such a state.
There is no reason for this hat to be unwearable. Not a single one. It's new. It should be usable by every existing race there is.
Them always repeating the clipping issue, don't make me laugh, as if that hasn't existed before Viera and Hrothgar were a thing. Just look at Miqo tails, and that's just one example. But we learned to just accept the clipping. It's maybe annoying but it's fine. And it's no reason to just keep wearable stuff from two races.

It's almost offending at this point how little they care and how they lie in our faces (and don't even try to hide it).

How they can make this decision and not feel utter embarrassment is beyond me.

The only reason I didn't wear hats was because I wanted to wear glasses. Now that the eyewear slot is a thing I've seen more people wear hats then before. Seems a bit tone deaf to introduce the system and then still have two races not being able to wear it.

The new years letter that went out from Yoshi was all about Fan Fest, so I think anyone going to fan fests need to go wearing bunny ears and chanting, "WE WANT HATS" because they can ignore all the internet crying they want, but disrupt their precious circle-jerk event and maybe they'll listen.
