Welp... to keep playing devil's advocate. While shifting canals might be 4.x content, any drops that can be sold on the MB would have to be "2.x" content, which would be a possible explanation for that. I actually went back and looked at some old patch notes too, and this seems to be the case.

In fact, more direct on these notes, where it says "New Chocobo barding added" and shows Suzaku barding, that is marked as "2.x" content. So while the Suzaku fight itself is 4.x content, the crafted barding can be sold and bought on the MB by all players so it has to be 2.x content.

My hopes just got crashed ;-;

It’ll most likely be completing all of the following UWU, Omega Savage, all SB EX trials completed with each doggo obtained, 5 finished Pagos relics, 100 million Gil in coffer, lone hero & necromancer titles obtained. Shouldn’t be to difficult, can’t wait!

So.. SE tells us to play other games, when the content is low, yet they lock stuff like this behind waaay to much time consuming stuff?
This feels like some kind of Dejavu.. wait.. is this turning into WoW? O_O

If you ever feel like something reminds you of WoW in this game just keep in mind that Yoshida mentioned that he was heavily inspired by WoW when making FFXIV :')

Now if only they took actually good things from WoW

Honestly miss the days when we just got hairstyles and emotes.

Now it's like "you want that 'wiggle-big-toe-ever-so-slightly emote?' you're gonna work, boy."

Can't agree with this and everyone stating the same opinion enough. I can't stand it when character creation options are locked behind content, way way less so when they're locked behind RNG lootboxes. It's not just that either, we used to get this stuff instantly when booting up the game after a major patch, we used to usually get 2 hairstyles per major patch, maybe 3 if we were lucky. Now we get a single one, this is terrible design, taking away something we used to get automatically and then locking it behind content to artificially add to the incentive to keep doing it. Like was already said, unique glamours and mounts that you can sell on the market board should be plenty incentive to do the content.

And of course this is all without taking into account the absolute garbage quality of content Eureka has been with Pagos. For reference with this stuff locked behind Eureka lock boxes, the shiver emote is selling for 14-18 mil on Ragnarok, I will never pay that much for a damn emote, you can pretty much get a medium house with that kind of money. A hairstyle would sell way more.

id rather the ability to work and earn for it instead of just handing it out.

Me too. Just not customization options. If anything, make them all purchasable via MGP at the Gold Saucer. I feel if customization options are needed to incentivize new content, then it tells me that they have not been able to establish more effective means to do so; including the content itself. Not good.

If I designed a hairstyle or armor set in a contest and won so it is put into the game, and then SE turns around and actually makes it really difficult for players to obtain, I'd be freakin pissed!

I don't like those two weird braids on the new hairstyle. Without them it would be fine.
I'm looking forward to the one the new wedding NPC has though. But in the end, I will only be disappointed in it again anyway because the songbird hat, cherry blossoms and other hairpins will only float above the head with it on female Au Ra. There are only like 5 different hairstyles where hair accessories don't float that much.
The biggest problem with that is that when it's locked behind RNG you can't really try out if it would look good on your character and how it clips with things or how much the hairpins float above it.

Where did it say that the second hairstyle will be available in the next Eureka anyway?

Other than that, when can we finally flip hairstyles like facepaint? I'm waiting for that feature ever since I began playing FFXIV.

Watch it cost million at golden saucer for it but knowing SE might be a Mog Station item.

Things that go on Mog Station get announced as “new Mog Station items”, sometimes out of the blue.

This has been announced as a patch 4.4 item.

It will be in some form of content delivered in the game during patch 4.4.

I bet it will be unlocked by Grand Company rank. Sadly im a step behind.

Just read full patch notes and it doesn't seem to be the case, mostly just weapons are added to this rank
The mystery of the hair still remains

I swear if it’s locked behind something difficult I’m gonna be so sad.

maybe the gold saucer jump puzzle thingy.

hopefully it looks good on my miqote or au ra

Complete all squadron missions ? Lets hope not ...
The A.I. are already pitiful as it is ....

From what ive seen it looks like one of em is pvp again

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/cceddf1f241/?patch=latest

Just wish there was a picture to confirm which it was.

The one I want seems to be locked behind PvP. Why didn’t I expect that...?

Well, can't find it either with our hair stylist nor as reward for mgp :c

pvp again sigh

The one thing I didn’t prepare for. Now I need to farm Frontlines and accidentally make people lose again.

It's only one of them, and it seems like it might end up in Eureka.........................................

It's 18,000 pvp marks. . .

They're trying to force incentivize pvp again.

I'd rather get it through pvp, than Eureka and HoH. I miss the days when new hair automatically went to creation

friggin pvp, really!? e___e; I'll attempt it but I'm not good at pvp, I feel bad that I will be dragging whatever team I may be on.

PvP? Ah well no hairstyle for me unless I can force myself through the daily enough times.

The notes specifically said "a new hairstyle", so there's only one this patch, the one with the beads. The reason people think the short hair with the braid across the top is going to be available was because it was datamined on an NPC, I believe. That probably means it will be coming - likely with Pyros, since it's not in yet.

Someone that has it should post a screenshot to confirm which it is.

PVP 18k wolf marks
lucky i capped out before patch

I really like how it looks. I do have a question regarding it, does the hairstyle clip at the back? I was a bit worried when i saw how long it goes down the back of the neck, high collars were a killer with an old style i used to use... D:

It can clip with collars a little bit

Eh, it's quite nice. Gonna get the mount first though. Lots of stuff purchasable with Wolf marks this patch \o/

Oh thanks for the screenies! Not too badly clipped like some styles... That's a relief, may give it ago. I just hope it looks ok with a bandana. >.< (I Don't suppose anyone who has the hair could try one on!? D:I really wish they'd let us preview hairstyles.)

I've actually been waiting for years for this hairstyle since the player contest in 2015. It was in 2015 guys! I was hoping for it to be released like the other runner-ups. The precedence with the others was either to drop them in to your barber shop for free or to make them easy to get like the Adventure ponytail with leaf for like what? 14 MGP? What is this? People already put time and effort in to the contest either to make hairstyles or vote. No way, dev peeps. You ought to give that to the players who you asked to create these for you.

I have contributed to, and won, contests in the community here and I can say from experience that if I found out one of my designs, which can take hours to draw, ended up in a place like this I'd be p----- er ... I'd be unrepentantly angry!

I'd like to politely request that the dev team reconsider this placement especially because this was a player-created and community-rally event. These should really be perceived as rewards for effort already expended.

The Heaven on High one which still has a decently low RNG rate and a decently high price (a few mil) on most servers was also a contest winner. And unless I miss my mark, the next one (short hair with a braid across it) will be Pyros lockboxes - and if it's at the rate of the shiver emote, it'll be neigh impossible to farm (granted, I'm 100% speculating on that one.)

You can petition, but I'm pretty sure that the nail is already in the coffin for us to get these any other way than grinding =/
