Final Fantasy 14 players have been begging the development team for a single change, and the benevolent rulers of Eorzea have answered, with Patch 7.3 adding a massive aesthetic choice for players who rock certain species.

Final Fantasy 14 launched with five races: Hyur, Elezen, Lalafell, Miqo’te, and Roegadyn. Three more have been added since through the expansions, with Au Ra in Heavensward, Viera in Shadowbringers, and Hrothgar in Endwalker.

The implementation of some of the races has been underwhelming, but that’s about to change. It has been confirmed in a post on the official Final Fantasy 14 website that Viera and Hrothgar will now gain access to a much wider range of clothing than they had before.

Viera & Hrothgar Can Now Wear Hats

In Patch 7.3, the Viera and Hrothgar Warriors of Light can finally equip hats! This was something that wasn’t possible for the longest time, due to their unconventional head shape/ear placement.

Additionally, it’s possible for Viera’s big bunny ears to be toggled on and off with certain pieces of headgear. Assumedly, the Warrior of Light made the holes themselves, probably during downtime between saving the world and grinding for gear.

Obviously, there is other stuff being added in Patch 7.3, like new MSQs, more tutorials, new furnishings for the homes no one can buy, and fresh pieces of equipment. The Viera and Hrothgar have even received new hairstyle options, making it easier to give them a makeover for their stylish adventures.

While the addition of hats might seem like a small thing, it’s an issue that has plagued players since Viera and Hrothgar came to the game. Part of the charm of MMOs is being able to build and equip a character, and it’s not quite the same if they can’t complete the look due to a lack of fancy hats.
