SE, We want more hairstyles in A Realm Reborn!

I would love more hair option that African american males would wear but that won't happen don't see me making 100's of threads about it.

Aside from the cornrows I hate every hair style in this game.

OOOOOOOOOH those are cornrows lmao i thought you were bald and you just combed the hair over the bald spot.

Thanks OP for this. We really do need more hair variety!

Based on Yoshi-P's response from the Letter from the Producer, it transcribed loosely as "We're seeing about distributing different hair types across all of the races" or something to that extent. Which leads me to believe they're just going to implement those hidden data files from 1.0 of ported hairstyles. Which leads me to feel disappointed.

I hope something was lost in the translation of that transcription and he meant something else. :/

All the more reason to bring it up.

Addressing the thread in general, there are more than a few folks in this thread that have become accustomed to knee-jerk "oh, another complaint thread" anytime a thread comes into existence. (>.> ) I think folks should back away and consider the validity of the complaint again, objectively, instead of simply saying "oh, it's the forums, it must be dumb."

Familiarity breeds contempt, and sometimes that puts you in the wrong. An objective mind is always good. ( >.>) Let's not ever forget that.

For my part,

I'd love to see this for hyuran girls. Favorite hairstyle ever. (>> ) Bit different than what we have at the moment.

Asking for more hairstyle variance is a far cry from complaining about low-res grass, by the way. <.<

I interpreted that response from Yoshi P in the same way, and I was quite disappointed to hear it. (>.> ) I'm no game developer to be sure, but amongst all the things they are doing, surely coming up with a few new hair designs would not be a great difficulty. Few days of brainstorming and development. They can even use designs from older FFs. This isn't a major difficulty, and should not be made out to be one by ostensible white knights (I say this as a Paladin) because it's really a remarkably basic and easy thing in the grand scheme of MMO design.

Didnt he answered like that? "its not that easy to implement new hairstyles because they need to be modalized for each equipmen/helmet as well?

I... I just want my old FFXI Elvaan's hair back. :( I was so disappointed with the hair they replaced it with, too many bobby pins/hair clips! Although... I hope if they do bring it back it's more like the mod that people had used.

It is quite possible that I missed that. With that caveat declared,

this is Final Fantasy we're talking about here.

Big hair is what we are all about.

I know it's alpha and we will probably see more, but it's good we have threads like this so SE knows what to focus on a bit more. As unimportant as some people may think it is, I think hairstyles are very important in an MMO. It's one of the first things people notice about your character after they've laughed of been amazed by your gear. It would be nice to see every 20 people I see with my hairstyle instead of every other guy on the server.

More hair styles would be great! I agree with the above poster, hair style is one of the most important visual characteristics of our characters and it really helps distinguish you in a group. Currently, it seems to me that:

- there are a few hairstyles that are super popular
- some races have extremely limited hair options (poor Lalas!)
- there are few enough hairstyles per race that even the less popular ones are still seen a lot with the more popular races (ex: Miqo'te)

So, I think we could really use some more hairstyles to reduce the feeling of sameness and give players more choices. :)

As for simply making hairstyles usable across races . . . I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I could get cute pigtails on a Hyur! On the other hand, I feel that having race exclusive hairstyles gives people more incentive to play races they might not otherwise choose ("oh, forget Hyur, I can get have those cat ears and a cute curled hairstyle!"), and to help further differentiate the races visually.

For 2.0, I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the female Miqo'te that I am planning to play will have a zillion hair-twins running around. But perhaps, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Hi-top fade or bust.

Enough with the anime influenced hair. The hi-top fade has it all. Aerodynamics, a throwback-vibe. Women hate it, men love it.

Negative. Hats and helms are. Seriously if SE got rid of "/display hat off" these stupid threads wouldn't exist

Give me Nanamo's hair and I don't care if we only have 1 choice~

I expect from any MMO released today to have at least 15-20 hairstyles per race and gender to pick from. FFXIV has very little variety, especially in some races.

What's more, in FFXIV all hair styles are lazy: they're short (presumably to prevent having to make realistic animations) and they have very little complexity.

More colors, more styles. Also~ NPC Barber.

Aion does not distribute them between five races though.

I agree ARR need more hairstyles but I hate the comparaison with Aion which does not offer any real races, so you have more choices obviously...

one npc with long hair vs. many player characters with long hair has different technical challenges, It's like adding a mithra tail on the head, would there be clipping issues? where does it go when you wear a hat? how does it move when you swing a sword?, cast a spell? do the sexy pose? can the PS3 handle it? can we make it not look like clumps of Guado hair?

Ppl will say that i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure that PS3 will limit (or it's already limiting) ARR development

Think about for example a massive pvp 100 vs 100, or even a pve event with hundreds mobs and character on screen, or more complex hairstyle, "sliding options" (and not default) , a PS3 simply can't handle that, it's just not a graphical issue, but a gameplay, it will limit complex and big "events" :mad:

I think that we should be great full that we have can choose the hair styles we have. And, with everything that needs to be properly working and functioning just for people to play, you are asking for HAIR STYLES? How much has the present lack of hair style variety impacted your enjoyment of the game so far?

You people are complaining over a video of a screen that you will likely see once and never again. It frightens me to think of what you will say when the game arrives.

And Dragonheart, the PS3 can handle sliding bars.

Maybe, (in single player ofcourse it can) and what about massive pvp/pve in future? Yoshi P said many time that the development on PS3 was a big challenge and they had to cut a lot of thing (sub hd, crappy texture, low draw distance, less character on screen ecc ecc).

If PS3 is already limiting the dev team now, i can only imagine how problematic it will be.. Well, i suppose we'll see.

I'd be really happy if they just added the hidden hairstyles... that'd be a start ;XD

How long have you played video games for exactly? You are sounding incredibly naive.
And to answer your question, every time I look at my hairstyle I think : "I wish it could be different". That's how much it affects me.

And that long hyur hair above I want it on my Miqo'te. :D

ARR needs to introduce more hairstyles.

(o.ô ) You say this while playing a munchkin.

This is a riot. XD

/Sigh, lost all hope in the current community of this game. Really?! I don't know about you guys, but I would want every second possible devoted to refining content of the actual game, better environments and gear design...not a hairstyle that will be covered up in a few moments when I log into the game. Yes I know there's an option to not have head items displayed also. Seems like people are just itching to find "problems" with the game even at this stage in the development. I know a large portion of the community could play a freaking potato and have awesome content and be 100% fine with it. Just stop..fairly sure that they have more important things to work on than hairstyles that only 5% of the games community will care about for the first three days.

AMEN!! my friend :D

For hair style for teh races will be post beta test version and we have a plan to add new ones which doesn't exist in current FFXIV. Also once the content where you can change the hairstyle in game is released we are planning to add even more hair styles at that time. Regarding the amount color we are looking into it right now to see if we can increase them.

Translation JP Thread, now we can all rejoice on more Hairstyles! ( Please stop making 10 threads of the same thing) >.<

Y'know, that pic really warms me up to the idea of just adding all the hair styles for every race. And it'd be awesome if they made some of the hair styles unisex . . . a lot of the Elezen ones in particular would look great on both genders.

Of course, hair is nowhere near the most pressing issue of 2.0, but I figure there is no harm in politely letting our thoughts on the matter be known. :) For some people, character looks are very important in an MMO.

EDIT: why thank you for posting that, Starlord. ^^ -rejoices-

hay um geyz I wan moar hair stizels

(Goes an makes a thread for Starlord cringe about)

:D


Dont forget that when they plan on adding a barber to the game we will probably be able to change ?(colors/makeups)?.

The irony is that most wear a hat most of the time so you won't even see this hair you're wanting so badly unless you just keep your head slot free to admire it....

Oh you strike me right in the heart bro! XD

hehe.

How people can be against more options is beyond me. Bringing the same beaten excuse of them better concentrate on refining the content is silly at best. They have different teams for each aspect of the game, so if it slows down the progress, it's only for that aspect of the game, not the whole development process. Besides, the definition of "actual content" varies from person to person. Customization is part of the content, and us getting a barber NPC and more hairstyles later on (as per Rein's translation thread) is the proof.

@yoshiP: thanks for listening!

If it goes to the extremes of Huge/tiny heads or overly Fat/skinny bodies, then no.. not that far.. but more options is always nice =).

Ohhh I didn't know about that! I suppose that helps the cause to add more hairstyles. Though I still think if you stare at the same hair every day for a while it'll cease to be interesting. Barber shop is probably the cure for people who get bored with their hair frequently.

With Hair Styles (Long Hair too please) add more beard styles! The women get a boob sliding bars! I WANT A BEARD SLIDING BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
