Yes I love the hairstyle, especially the front, its one of my favourites. I just wish for a similar front without a ponytail, something thats for “special occasions”.

I would love to see a few different dreadlock styles. One example would be the main character from Vikings, or Michael B Jordan in Black Panther.

There would be some very good options to choose from.

Thank you,

I feel like I'm going against the grain a bit, but I'm also tired of the bows, curls and braids they keep throwing at us. Like... this haircut for example:

https://ffxivcollect.com/hairstyles/66

Why the hell did you put a knot in it? It's... (<beginning of personal lament) ugly and so damn girly. Just... give me more simple options, that don't look like the person just came out of an extra elaborate blowout, or a makeup session with their 15 year old girlfriends.

In the same tone, a little more attention to hairstyles for men. Especially for beards, which don't have enough options.

Edit : ah, with one exception : Hilda's hair, I'm a fan as well.

This hair isn't even girly in a good way, its messy and tomboyish and then they slap a braid with a little bow in it.
I'd love more actually girly short hairstyles, like Nashu's.

And I, of course, want longer hair as much as everyone else! Something like Great Lengths but with pretty bangs would be neat.

hoo boy, i have a lot of requests for hairstyle, but i will only show 2 of them

The poof hairstyle generally looks great from the front, but the back is a whole lot. It would be nice to have a variant like that, for sure.

I love the one with the fringes but yeah never wear it because the back makes my character look disproportionate

Yakuza, Goro Majima Hairstyle. I want dammit!

Just saying, the dev team should take a look at other games and take notes, even if they REALLY want to stick to straight hair only (kinda sus but let's play) there's so much more they could do other than "unisex*" bobs.

* Hot take: we often debate hair isn't gendered, but let's be real, there are hairstyles that aesthetically favor one gender over the other, hence "gendered" - I'd rather they release gendered hairstyles that either male or female chars can use and it's up to the player, than releasing "unisex" styles that get mixed reactions (too long for men, too short for women - by western standards, at least).

It's quite annoying that a lot of great facial hair options are limited to one face on one race, when they would work on several others, such as the ones above.
If not for 6.x, I'd like a separate facial hair option on character customization with facial hair options ALREADY AVAILABLE in the game for all races and faces to use (sans perhaps aura, maybe hrothgar).
Perhaps that's a pipe dream.

Can we make Krile's hairdo available to everyone please?

https://i.redd.it/dm2svmv1mk381.png

Probably not for a while, given she's (allegedly) finally making centre stage in 7.0?

I seem to have 7 new hairstyles as a viera now

I just wanted to wish everyone here a belated happy new year and to personally thank everyone for your continued support of this thread!

I really like most of the hairstyles that show the forehead but they really need to work on our character models foreheads- even catgirls with some of the hairstyles have huge foreheads. is this a thing in japanese culture? (genuinely curious) or have they just not cared enough to portion the hair to the heads properly. Viera have it so bad male and female.

...as someone with a very large forehead irl I never noticed the Viera has having anything wrong and in fact I dislike quite a few hairs in game - several of the racial specific FemRoe hairs which makes me extra sad- for having what looked to me an unreasonably low and ugly hairline. But I want more styles without fringe/bangs or more options to have the style with them removed.

I also have a big forehead, and in a fantasy game I play to have a normal or cute forehead. I've dealt with jokes and rude comments my whole life because of it. Not sure why people would want that in a videogame.

As you all know, many hairstyles are short, anime protagonist & practically clones of one another.
The character customization itself is abit outdated & needs some additions- This thread is solely for Hairstyles & Facial hair you want ingame or accessible to the playerbase that we do not currently have.
I myself, want to see longer hairstyles, NPC hairstyles, hairstyles that have braids with a purpose (Like a halo braid) & more medieval/ renaissance female hairstyles, wavy & curly hair as well more male oriented hairstyles.

Another feature that should be implemented for character creation is Stubble & full beards & facial hair variety. Cid & Meteor/ WoL from the cinematics shouldn't be the only ones who get decent facial hair in all of Eorzea.

For those worried about 'clipping'
I don't see clipping as a massive issue for long hairs, as everything clips to some degree. It's not about bulky armors, since most people wear slimming outfits & it's not about clipping weapons since we can hide them & there are plenty of weapon designs to accommodate players to some degree.

1. Please keep the topic focused around Hairstyles & Beards since this is what the thread is for!
   
   
2. If you want NPC Hairstyles, Racial Variety Hairstyles or Hairstyles not ingame but you would want to see- please post your requests here!
   
   
3. This thread is not limited to the pre ShB Races, please also include Viera & Hrothgar whether you want them to have shared styles with pre ShB races or entirely different styles unique to them, I encourage you post your examples so others can have a better idea!
   
   
4. Try to limit the picture spam so it doesn't flood the page & drown out others comment, just be considerate! (If you have alot of examples to show, limit the pictures to just 3-4 images per post depending on the size of the image. TL;DR post as many times as you want, just limit the amount of images per post please!
   
   
5. Post all of your hairstyle, eyebrow & Beard requests woes here! Megathreads supposedly get more attention
   

NPC hairstyles I'd pay for or want added event wise ingame
I want to see:
Hilda's Ponytail & Hythlodaeus Side braid
Gaia's Hairstyle & Yugiri's hairstyle
Emet-Selch's hairstyle
Y'shtola hair for Viera

Hilda's ponytail is constantly requested & I'm one of the ones who looks forward to it being implemented one day (hopefully)
As well as more Viera inspired hairstyles for Viera

They are so lovely. I prefer the hair with no fringe/bangs. I have long hair with no fringe in rl so maybe that's why I prefer it. It would be good if they added Hilda's but I am starting to feel it will never get here.

I know they are adding Alisaie's hair but to be honest I am thinking why? It is just the same as Alphinaud's but red ribbon and opposite. I am hoping they read this and can start to take note of what people are asking for.

Yeah I thought it was weird they're adding alisaie's hair too. It's literally the same T_T what's the point?? Give us Hilda's ponytail please!

I feel like we have been shouting about Hildas hairstyle or similar for years now, and I would really like to know why we cant get hers? I have seen the m*ds and they look amazing on all female races...I just dont see why?

Just like I feel we deserve Omega F/M's and Ryne's hair cause we got the outfits, why not the hair too? I don't get it either tbh

Going to keep bumping this thread in the hope that the Devs might look. I saw a mod of Hilda's hair so why has this not been done by SE?

I play PS5.But it does have to be said how can the modders do things but SE can't? I have the Omega and Ryne outfit and no hair was given which is really crap lol.

As a short person irl who loves playing a FemRoe in part because I get the fantasy of not being the shortest person in the room, I understand where you're coming from. But also as much I have had comments about my forehead (it's six-fingers), I stopped hiding it with bangs gladly when I was twelve, and I'm dead serious when I say that the Viera don't look at all weirdly proportioned to me. What I was are more of what we have of hairtypes with the option to hide or show bangs/fringes and more hairstyles without bangs and high foreheads as to better display the various circlet and crowns.

So we’re getting Gias outfit but not her hair that’s not cool

The clipping, please understand...!

(yeah it's bs)

Not surprising, though. We never get hairstyles that long. I don't think it's just about clipping, more likely to be about what the system can handle if everyone uses it at once.

It's more puzzling that we didn't get Ryne's, since that is similar to Great Lengths from memory, though I haven't compared them side-by-side.

Yeah I'm not surprised Gaia's hair isn't included, it's similar to Yotsuyu's hair in the sense that it barely moves and was clearly meant for a character with limited movement, it looks pretty awkward even on Gaia herself in many scenes.

I guess it would have been too much for them to add the hairstyle with the set. I would have probably bought it if it had the hair.. even with the.. state.. it is in.

I just want Gotetsu's hairstyle for my male alts and maybe my main female character if it looks good on the opposite gender. :/
