I 100% would have bought her outfit if it had her hairstyle
SquareEnix can absolutely fix the hair so it conforms better to the body & not clip.

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

This hair would look sexy as hell

I would like some more feminine warrior hairstyles, I get that making sidecuts can be hard but there are variants where you braid the hair to look like it. Having long and strong ponytails that are far from the head also avoids clipping.

And also a romantic one. Similar to the one already ingame but the braid is more front which means it wont clip with any ears.

Those would look ravishing on female Viera.

Agree, those would be super pretty. Medium long length hair isn't going to please everybody who wants floor length locks, but we've received nothing but short styles since early Shadowbringers. Yeah, a lot of that has to do with what styles won the hairstyle contest, but now that they've all been released I want more emphasis on black hairstyles that include dreads and micro braids. There was a super cool one with a bandana that made it into the finalists of the contest 84 years ago. I've noticed they have implemented finalists as well as winners so seeing this in the game one day wouldn't be too surprising.

I already know many people will not like this response, but it is not my intention to bash anyone in favor of these glamours. However, it is about what the dev team considers a priority, and the time needed to do it, and it is player demand that dictates that priority.

We can also add Lord Hein's hair to this list as it is also really high in demand, and Hilda's and Hein's hairstyles wouldn't cause much, if any clipping issues. Hair is also one of the most difficult items to work with and/or around. With characters like Hilda, Hein, and Gaia, they only need to worry about making it work for them, and not thousands of moving players on the server.

It also isn't just reworking existing gear to loosen restrictions. New hairstyles and gear is also something they feel takes priority over releasing NPC hairstyles to the playerbase. This has a high demand as well, and all of us love to see what's new with every patch release. My own personal take is that one-piece outfits should always come with the hairstyle. They have done this before, so I have no answer on why it isn't a standard. It's very easy to adopt the mindset of 'minimal effort, maximum profit' in cases like Gaia, Ryne, and Omega F.

Or just maybe, for whatever unfathomable reason, they don't want to release Hilda's hair and have moved on to other requested features that they are willing to work on. It's certainly not being neglected for lack of requests – I've seen more for those hairstyles than for gender-unlocking anything besides maybe the bunny suits.

Sure, but there was a clear reluctance with the bunny suits, and I am sure they knew as I did that was a slippery slope. I base that off of the clear as day resentful, "Fits EVERYONE" description they tagged them with. And now here we are. The push for gender neutrality within FFXIV is everywhere. They can't release anything gender specific without someone coming around crying about it afterwards, and you know it. That being said, I would definitely say the speculation is much lower with gender neutrality than it is with them just not wanting to release Hilda's hairstyle. Not saying you're wrong. I am just less inclined to believe that's the case based on my own observation in game, and here on the forums.

Considering the fact that they're even making a move to lift restrictions on swimsuits from past summer events (according to the game's files) I think the ship has long sailed when it comes to the devs perspective on the removal of gender restrictions. We can speculate all we want that the devs did this out of obligation or felt resentful over it - it really doesn't matter anymore. It has become a key priority to remove gender restrictions on a huge batch of items every major patch and new glamours are launching without gender restrictions at all. Are there going to be some things that remain locked? Yes. Are some folks still going to complain? Yes. Is it still an undeniable truth that those pushing for neutrality have won? Absolutely.

Is there a reason they haven't released Hilda's hairstyle? Who knows. It probably isn't that they don't want to, but that's as viable an justification as any in the absence of a better one. It could be somewhere on some long list of requested features, it just hasn't been treated as a top priority by XIV's devs. Right now implementing the duty support system, expanding the Viera/Hrothgar hairstyle roster and lifting gender restrictions on gear are being given the biggest emphasis. As those projects reach their conclusion maybe we'll see Hilda's hair in an upcoming liveletter. Or not.

They probably can, but the question is if they even would?

I think they would, seeing enough people request it!
Heck, they intended to add the one ponytail from the island sanctuary awhile ago but "forgot" & added ardashirs ponytail

I'm hoping there is a hairstyle contest soon- I know I'll be submitting long wavy hair along with other hairs that have braids that actually look mature enough & not like it was intended for a small child- like some of the hairs we've gotten as of late.

Hildas hair I feel is going to be implemented but is on the backburner as someone already mentioned priorities with other customization

Yeah, I'd hope so. I want longer hairs. I hope they are picked then! I do feel like SE is really hesitant to add them though, and it sucks.

I agree. However, time and resources are still a factor, and that was my main point as I was responding to a poster who was wondering why Hilda's hairstyle has not been released when she feels it is well within their means to do so. Everyone here knows they can do it. Whither they want to or not is not as relevant as what they consider priority.

You can't read tone from that text. It could be passive-aggressive resentful, but just as easily could be a cheerful "fits everyone, hooray!"

I'm glad we're in kind of a half agreement here. I'll concede as well, and say the cheerful take is possible also. Where I think we can agree 100% is "More hairstyles please!" Hilda's, Hein's, longer styles, updos... Whatever must be done, please give us more.

Just bumping- Don't lose hope!

Hairs many of us want to see from NPCs:
Yugiri
Ysale
Hilda
Hien
Emet-Selch
Hythlodaeus
Nanamo's hair
Raubahn's hair
Gaia's Hair




Other things we want to see:

Eyebrows for male highlanders
Beard/ Stubble options for all male characters
Stackable face paint (EX: wearing more than 1 face paint; eyeshadow AND blush)
Scars like Raubahn's (currently, scars look painted on & were made by a pen)
Body Tattoo's/ Henna paint
Separate eyebrow colour

Long hairstyles
Curly hairstyles
Masculine hairstyles

I think Yotauyus hair wold look awesome on a viera or Miqo’te

give us gaius' hair

It’d be nice to have a shorter female hairstyle that doesn’t have a strange spike across the forehead or really quite vexing clipping issues with mask headpieces.

Yes omg this

I ran monastery yesterday and noticed Fran’s hairstyle, it was mega long but in a high ponytail, wondering why can’t we at least get that in long? It wouldn’t clip if the base keeps the hair lifted.

It was a bad idea because now everytime anything is genderlocked they cry like the world is ending. Its so annoying and wish they would grow up and stop whining so we could get new items instead.

The top one is also worn by female Elezen. Curious to see how that one looks on female Viera, too. :3

Also wanna see Y'shtola's on female Viera, too.

Yeah, that has always been my biggest thing when it came to them fitting gear like that: the resources spent. I'd rather see more items created. Hopefully when all that is done, and hairs are fitted for viera and hroths, we can see a bump in both..

We see all these requests for hairs,clothes etc but we can’t get them it seems. But the community would rather have men in dresses. I remember I myself put many pictures in this thread a long time ago. Not sure if we ever got anything close to what people put in here. It is also an issue where I feel the community managers only relay certain things that are similar to their views and such. Surely we cant have 67 pages of hair requests and never see them? Plenty of these would be easy to make. But as we agree on they are using resources on stuff that could be better spent elsewhere on things many people would enjoy and not a small group.

If we gotta have men in dresses, then give me Crystal Exarch's robes already, damit! I have a certain cat boi clone that's ready and able to dawn the Exarch's robes anytime now.

I don't particularly think a male character in a dress looks very good, but it's nice to have options for players who want that. It is really a matter of priorities. I've never really thought there was a huge demand for it.. Hopefully, all the fitting is done soon(er) than later to free those resources. Of course, this has also bled over into them charging more for select new(er) mogstation sets, that have pieces of fitted gear. I digress.

I'm sure the devs know players want hairs like Hilda's, long hairs, and some of the other major requests. I am not sure why they seem to be ignoring a lot of them. It is pretty disappointing. I would very much like those hairs, especially long hairs added - don't care about the clipping (glam around it)! I don't think we fully agree actually, and I do think viera/hrothgar definitely deserve the resources being spent having hairs fitted after being seemingly ignored all of ShB.

I agree with the hair thing for all the races but no to the clothes so we partially agree. But they will never be freed up as now they expect every single piece in game to be unisex. That is alot of going back to old stuff from years ago to fit and fix them.

True enough, it is a Pandora's box. But I can't continue this in this thread. Suffice it to say, hopefully hairstyles will come back in force come next expansion at the latest.

I just want long hairstyles, clipping be damned. I'll find glams around them myself.
