I want my damn helmets specially that old eagle one.
As a Viera I approved this video. đ and same for my fellow Hrothgar friends.
First, I think its strange that they can't simply let our ears poke through most helms. That said, I understand that they may not be able to go back and update old gear. Fine. HOWEVER, new gear not working for my viera (or Hrothgar players) is unacceptable. Also the viera ears are too damn rigid. Miqo ears wiggle and emote. It's bs.
I didn't think this was a point of conflict until I considered the following. Players shouldn't be penalized for their choice of character race. That applies not just to stats, abilities, actions, skills, story and yes, aesthetics and visuals as well. SE and Yoshi's team have demonstrated modifications can be made. Finding the proper balance between that and the results is perhaps, not so easy for the game developper. But as the situation persists, people become discontent. Never a good thing! Thank you Brian. â„
I'm still salty we keep getting these stupid tall races. I gagged when they added in the Hrothgar instead of something like Tactics Moogles or another smaller race. Need more choices for those whom enjoy playing Lala's.
Like you said, the funding could change and maybe they adjust it but I'm just glad that we have Viera and Hrothgar in the game, and I'm definitly looking forward to female Hrothgar because I think it'll be closer to the FFX version of the race.
My only complaint is that we don't have more glasses and facial gear for them to use instead of hats and helmets
Itâs worth noting that there is a mod that properly fits hats on hroth and Viera with minimal clipping and adjusted hair. Itâs not everything yet, but Iâd say it covers the majority of gear.
Unfortently I have to resort to mods for this ..
My problem is that there is a pc mod that easily lets me wear any hat no problem on both of those races. I dont need any fancy ear flaps like miqote. Just let me wear hats
It's really starting to feel like FFXIV players are becoming more and more spoiled over the last few months. Nothing seems to be good enough – they want everything just like they want it and they want it now. Between the PVP hacking and trolling and this stuff, the community is slowly becoming just like the WoW community.
I'm generally neutral about having limited hats as a Viera (and really glad to see more hairstyles) BUT I really think artifact gear hats should work with any race. If they were going to pick just a few sets to put extra work into, it seems like those should be first up. Not being able to wear the RDM hat is disappointing.
I get a feeling that maybe they're waiting on the graphical update to fix the hat situation. Idk how all that works honestly, just a thought.
