[Feature Request] Change Hair

[Rango]

I would like to see some kind of option to change your character's hair. After 5 years of playing, I'm getting kind of tired of the same old hairstyle.

Don't mind if it's in-game or an extra service that you have to purchase.

They can do it. I think if they just get enough interest for it. Not only hair style I want a different color palette to!

[Rango]

Well I constrained the scope to what's already there so the devs wouldn't have to develop "extra" in the hopes that they can get the feature out sooner

If I remember correctly, Square Enix said they would consider and look into the ability to change your current hairstyle (sometime during 2007 or 2008?), but I suppose that idea may have been scrapped since it hasn't been added by now.

I would love this feature, but it does present a problem. The ability to change hair and/or character model (within the same race) would present a golden opportunity to FFXI's more dubious players. If dubious players could change worlds and change their character's appearance, it would become incredibly difficult to track down these players and warn others of their past actions.

It all comes down a cost/benefit analysis, though.

i would find this feature to be epic myself....frankly my taru female character has been stuck with the same green hair for a long time!>.>

While changing your hair style can probably be possible, SE can't add new hair styles due to PS2 limitations.

There really isn't any choice for character model though

Too be honest, do you look at and remember how other players' model looks? It's more for personal enjoyment than anything. Personally, I don't think this feature will make it any more or less easier for bad players to scam.

They said that for a lot of things and they still did them.
