New Female Highlander Hairstyles... got the shaft

Well, they fixed one of the old female Taru hairstyles (the one with the little braids in the front and the bun on top), so I switched to that. I would have chosen it at launch, but the braids disappeared when wearing headgear previously.

Seems all races got the shaft with hairstyles. I don't really understand why all hairs weren't made cross-race compatible to begin with, and why female Taru still have the least amount of choices I believe (one of our options is the same hairstyle four times).

And where are my damn freckles? I was promised freckles!

I just wish they would add more options like: Skin-tone, Eye color and tail choices... They didn't give us a whole lot of options for creativity.

As for hairstyles, I never expected a copious amount to begin with.

Hopefully we'll get the midlander ponytail next for the Miqo'te master race.

This has been another let down for 2.1 that I found... I was psyched to be able to change up how my character looked and would've happily sunk gil into changing it every week or 2. But I only got 1 of the male Miqo cuts which made me /facepalm.... maybe by the time 3.5 rolls out I'll get a decent selection

I have the best hair in the game.. no care

True, especially looking at the icons on this thread ha. :P But still, you'll get new hairstyles later. If you're bored of yours now, as said before, swap to a different one. I'm sure there are much more important things for the devs to worry about~ Though I do agree I was disappointed with the lack of new ones this time around.

what a let down, and here i thought getting my toon a miqote hairstyle and none

Wait, does this mean there are no plans to unlock previously existing styles? You only say that the ones added recently will be selectable for other races.

The barber shop, in addition to PvP, was pretty much THE thing I was looking forward to with this patch. And it's been a complete let down. :\

I was pretty disappointed with what we got too. At the very least I found the twin ponytails actually worked for my miqo. The bangs look nice. But I think they just threw this hairstyle at most of the other females for each race. I know the lalas got it too. -_-;;

Sigh... I haven't even patched my game yet and I'm already disappointed, I was so pumped with the hairdresser and PvP but so far it seems it's just a huge letdown.

I was rather disappointed as well. I eagerly looked at the hairstyles for my Midlander female, but couldn't find anything that wasn't already in character creation -- am I missing something? Aside from the Lightning hair, of course (I didn't do that quest).

Don't get me wrong, I am pleased to be able to swap my character's hairstyle to something shorter when I feel like wearing my favorite gear without clipping, and the quest to unlock it was fun. But I was really hoping we'd get some additional/new choices.

Oh well, I would like to get a Fantasia for my character anyway, and that seems to be a ways off too.

What about the pre-existing hairstyles from other races being available to races that can't currently use them?

well, I'd rather be able to change my appearance than not. so I'd say the patch was a plus in this area.

Kinda off topic, sorry. But could someone please tell me the location/quest giver be able to change hair styles please? Thank you. :)

I love it, Though I have only seen maybe one or two styles? I think I have the snow head wrap from FF13. Im not sure about other options but its mostly a barber right so everything to do with hair not,
eyes, eye color.
body type.
race, sex.
skin color.
mouth shape.
eye shape.
you get where im going with this...
Those would be a total cosmetic thing and that will be nice when they add it to the game for purchase I think is very fare.

So since Yoshi did mention that they will add more stuff to our barber guy which is cool. what's the problems?

hvinire if the Devs used the already available data of each races hairstyles, and gave all races all of each other's hairstyles, that would feel like the addition of a lot more hairstyles than just designing 1 brand new one each patch. I would rather have the option of 50 hairstyles than just 1 extra brand new one. At heart character frames are basically the same. Only the skins are different. Coding all the hairstyles available for all races would be the Devs most bang for time invested.

I want Garnet's/Tifa's hairstyle please! But maybe that's too long, clippings and all. I noticed they didn't really make any long hairstyles..

I believe roegadyns got it as well, and it looked hilariously out of place on my character :P

please add more hairstyles so not everyone defaults to the SINGLE NEW HAIRSTYLE....I swear 50% of female characters now have lightning hair. cool game square enix

More are in the works. Y'all need to seriously take a step back and look at how much content they did get pushed out on this PATCH....

All the time spent making a post where if you'd just did a little more reading you would allready know the answer...

Simply carrying the hair data over to other races might work for some races, but you're playing the very race that can't have that data dumped on it. Mi'qotte's have their ears on the top of their head. I don't know if you've noticed but they have to design all the miqo hairstyles to cover the complete side of their heads, because the human head looks kinda weird when missing ears on the side. If you look up the innumberable catgirl anime characters there are, they all have special hair deisgns to cover where the ears should be. So SE can't just throw another races hair on a Miqo and call it a day. They have to edit the hair to cover the side of the head, and make room for the ears at the top so there isn't weird clipping. And furthermore, since each hairstyle has a particular way it's displayed when wearing headgear, they'll have to design each hairstyle to cover the place ears should be even when wearing hats.

beep boop beep. I'm a robot!

Don't forget the Yoshi-fro, everybody and their brother changed to the Yoshi-fro or Snow hairstyles.

So glad I changed to the pompadour, hardly anyone has it.

I was really looking forward to this in 2.1 and it was a HUGE letdown. Like many, I play mi'qote, and with the launch of the aesthetician, only getting access to 2 hairstyles (1 if you didn't do lightning event) is very upsetting and not what I was expecting. Giving us access to all the other races hairstyles is something I would have considered significant. I was really hoping to get the bun-style look from hyur on my mi'qote, instead we only got Light and the twin-tails which I'm not fond of. Please give us access to ALL the other races hairstyles on all races.
