Shared hairstyles, new hairstyles and changing them

[Nakiamiie]

That's unfortunate.

You'll get over it quickly and probably end up swapping hairstyles xD.

Woah! Where did you got those?! I'm missing something. >_<;

Lol yes!! Someone who knows about Toshiro Mifune ^^ - You are right not traditional but very appealing “ヽ(´▽｀)ノ”

One of my favourite actors, although I have to say I prefer him in samurai movies. Somehow he looks out of place in other movies, although that's probably because the first movies I saw with him were all samurai themed

Back in uh I believe October 2010 people found data pertaining to races being able to use other races hairstyles and that if you know how to work with XIV's data structure you could activate the feature yourself. It was kind of glitchy however. The pictures been around forever but recently was thrown back onto 2ch lol.

The download was mainly hosted on a site where you could get XIV bots however, so that's usually why a lot didn't know about this.

This kinda disappoins me if all they are doing is giving all hair styles to all races and clans. It kinda defeatss the purpose of each clan and race having their own lore and culture. I mean look around the world differnt races and cultures have different styles, wish it would happen in the game, plus it helps add variety to the game if different races and clans have unique hair cuts.

How your hair is cut isn't genetic. Anything to add more customization to each player is a positive IMO.

I am not talking genetic. I am talking culture. Each clan has it's own lore and culture, seems like they would have their own unique hairstyles. Mind you I am not talking all hairstyles, but atleast a few that are unique.

I sympathise... but where do you draw the line? For example colours would fall into the same trap and if all purples are only available to Elezen M+F the general populace will ask for the colour to be available to all races. In a time where all races live together there is no real excuse not to have shared styles.

If anything I would think the styles should be divided by region, eg. Gridanian (more free flowing) Ul'Dahian (More regal/fashion thinking) Lominsian (Tighter bonds to combat sailing winds and salt)

But overall, we are sacrificing lore for customization options.

First, freaking love your region hairstyle idea..


But through the barber in that particular region it would be nice to get access to it cross region wise.


For racial hair styles though... I hope some are staying particular to that race.

That's just not fair! It ruins my immersion!
