For clarity, here's Ardashir:

He was complaining about some perceived quality slight because it's a male hairstyle. It's one that's been in game for like 7 years, that was all I was pointing out.

Perceived? The slicked back texture on his head doesn't look normal compared to the female version.

It's a completely different hairstyle.....

Have you seen some of the early female hairstyles? They also look like garbage...

I have nothing against what they chose for male Viera (I think the ultra-feminine look is a niche that was unexplored for the game), but I don't think I've ever seen a consensus on their desired look. We had everything from actual kids to rugged half-naked hunks.

This isn't a defense of why we are getting a 2015 hairstyle of low quality intended to serve as the male counterpart for the female version. Both of them aren't satisfying what either gender wanted, not short hair or long hair. People are tired of this.

Both of them are not gender locked....


And you keep using plurals for your own opinion. A lot of people I know wanted a short ponytail that wasn't race specific.

I also want a long braided ponytail.

People are tired of short pixie cuts.

Agree with OP. The amount of boys pretending to be men have gotten too high. Its not even how soft they look, its also how young.
Auron is one of the best characters they(SquareSoft) has ever made. It is impossible to make anything remotely close to him with the game creator.
"Old" people in xiv look like raisins. They don't look experienced they look decrepit.

Please please please please please SE.

The requests have been drowned out bc they've been small threads I'm guessing
Or bc the japanese playerbase hasn't requested it, it's not a priority. They like their femboys

The SE team seems to have a hard on for stubble or faint chin hair but nothing else -

Cid Garlond in XIV is the only man to have a full beard & eyebrows. super sus

The funny part is that the JP side says the same except Yoshida only caters to the west. lol
