Dreadlocks?! Really??!!

Finally seen the new hairstyles for my Hyur and Elezen characters and I have to admit. At first I was excited when I saw a hairstyle with long hair and hairband. Judging by my Hyur character reference that I wants that hairstyle......loe and behold at 2.4 launch, SE holds true to their usual, and best hairstyle reserved for dem catgirls....as is pretty much anything that may look good. Elezen F, Hyur F, and most likely Lala and Roe, we get get these ugly ass dreadlocks?! Seriously, SE? This XI all over again?!

You do have other races that DON'T have furry ears and a tail. Stop s#i++ing on us in terms of aesthetics! Last somewhat decent hairstyle you gave Elezen F, now all F has it it seems. That new one you gave those cats...give it to the other female races as well. If you do it to one, do it to another. Those dreadlocks were a slap in the damn face.

Shit, pass them over then. I'd love to have some dreadlocks to spice up the male hairstyles.

Don't know if you noticed, but the previous updates give one race a new hair, then later update the hair gets given to the other races, 2.4 was Miqos turn. The hair will probably given to the other races in 2.5.

Anyways, whats wrong with dreads!? Was jelly with 2.3 and it wasn't available for Miqos. Now it is.

You should wait for 2.5

I'm not sure whether you want the dreadlocks or whether you want some other hairstyle.
Which one is Miqo'te only? The one with the hair band (Nashu's hairstyle I think)?

I mean, I think dreads look displeasing myself, but some people really like them. There'll be other patches with hair styles you DO like. As a manqo'te, I've gone about 3 patches of hating every new hairstyle, no need to make a kerfuffle.

She wants the long hairstyle with the hairband. It'll complete the Ultear set up.

Not everyone wants loreal hair commercial hair in an RPG.

SE took a while to make a cat specific hair...
They did Midlander(twin tails), Roegadyn(side cut), Elezen(french braid dealio), Highlander(dreads), and just now got around to Miqote(hairband)/Lalafells(long ponytails).
This is literally the first time a new hair has been released for cats only, so I don't know what you're spouting on about it being the 'usual'.
They chose races that don't get played often first to try to attract more players to them, and make those already playing them feel better.

SE has been giving one hair to a specific race each time and unlocking the last race-specific hair for all races.
And while the twin tails were technically already in game before aesthetician, SE took a hair to get the ball rolling for this pattern.
You will get this hairstyle the next time a hair is added. It takes time to convert hairstyles for each race, be patient.

Some of us want MORE dreadlock styles. Not all of us want long flowing bouncy hair... -_-
I want my male miqote to have some.. not all that UGLY Poofy Poof hair....
lots of people hate ALL the male miquote hair updates... too much poof...

God forbid... people have .. you know... options?

Dreadlocks were added in 2.3 for female highlanders.

Now in 2.4 they're available to others, I'm wearing them and loving them. They fit my own image of my character personally and that's all I really ask for. Sorry if that displeases?

You're getting the miqo'te-exclusive one in 2.5. Chill out.

I like the locs too :D Would love to see them for males also.

As a miqote....I do love the new less clipping long hair with the band! I would also love the lala buns ^^

I just want the braided up-do that male highlander/roeg and female elezen have.

Oh wow, I'd absolutely adore to have male locks on my man kitty. Saying that, I'm glad they included the very long hairstyle for male miq'ote in the recent update. However, the clipping... oh dear, the clipping -cries- ... it's a beautiful hairstyle for me, but it just looks terrible on most of my gear due to the clipping. SE... sigh

I love the dreads, it makes me look like an amazon :D

Clipping is my main issue with most female hairstyles since about half our choices are long hair. QQ Please SE less clipping.

I have no clue what's the reasoning that HAIRSTYLES are race locked?!

I mean... It's hair! It can be bent to any shape the owner wishes!

QFT @_@
I based my current glamour around the fact that it clips very little with my hair and my body.
Anything with a skirt below the knee and I clip into it with knees, feet, hair, you name it! It's terrible!
>_<
It's a shame but if ever want to change the glamour I really have to consider how it will clip before anything else.

My main issue w/ the dreads is that they move and highlight awkwardly so... as cool as they are I didn't use them. =\
Maybe they are less awkward on smaller races?

i want dreadlocks on my midlander ._.

It's my heartfelt wish that male characters, especially male Highlanders, eventually get dreadlock options. I wouldn't have believed that SE would actively provide styles for different textures of hair beyond the afro/kinky styles at launch for Midlanders but now that female characters have the choice I'm filled with hope for the future.

As a former Hyur gone elezen you want crappy hairs? Id KILL for my shoulder length bobs back that only hyur got. Know what elezens rare hair is for women? Bald. lol

I wanna try the new hair too so I support this thread. xD

More people who don't know of the "hairstyle rotation", so here it goes again:

Each major patch:
1) ONE race gets ONE unique hairstyle that others cannot have yet, like in...
2.1 Roegadyn
2.2 Elezen
2.3 Highlanders
2.4 Miqo'te

2) ALL others races (with the exception of the race that obviously already has it) get access to the "special hairstyles" from previous patch, meaning:
In 2.2, we got access to 2.1's Roegadyn hair (with the exception of Miqo'te for graphic reasons);
In 2.3, we got access to 2.2's Elezen hair;
In 2.4, we got access to 2.3's Highlander hair (dreadlocks, and that headband long cut for males).

So calm down, you'll get them "damn catgirls"'s hair in 2.5.

All I want is a low cut fade or even a afro...

Adding the dreadlock hairstyle to male characters would require adjustments to the current dev. schedule so this may take a while, but the team is looking in to it.

They may be able to add a male version of the dreadlocks that were added in Patch 2.4, but they will need to account for the adjustments that must be made for the different physique and shape of the male skulls.

Can we get Body Tattoos (character customization option, not tied to an equip)?

Skin Color Change at Aesthetician?

I know of this rotation and I'm not gonna fight about it but I DO wish they start passing around the older hairstyles to other races to each patch. They did do it for launch (miqote got the pigtails from lala, miqote got the 'payne' hairstyle from midlanders, lalas get the midlander hairband style, etc). I want those pigtails on midlanders. The 'shantotto' one.

What I want to know is when are they going to start making the hairstyles unisex!? I want some of those male Highlander styles, damn it!

I really wish they would open up some of the already existing hairstyles as well. Specifically, the long, fluffy, Jessica Simpson hair that Hyurs have.

The fact that the Dev team is even considering it is a great step towards offering the player base a greater diversity of hairstyles. I understand that any new addition to the game takes time, especially comparatively trivial cosmetic options, but I'm overjoyed at the notion that the Devs are listening, thank you for bringing it to their attention, if that is indeed the case.

Dreadlocks are cool, but man canthe male characters get an Afro? I would attempt to kill Titan EX in severe lag for an Afro

I like the dreadlocks. Female Miqo'te have enough girly girl hair styles, more scruffy and or short styles please ^^

I can't believe this game doesn't have an afro yet, and I'm being serious. Every japanese game I've played that has character customization has it as an option.

I like the dreads. Although I agree the males should have a fro. Maybe borrow some from a certain FFXIII character.

Why no dreadlocks for Male lala? I want mine to be a lil rastaman already.
