I'm sure there are a number of people who would like the clippies or want them if they weren't there, but I like the rugged medium length hair warrior and clippies don't really help look rugged. He looks ready for a fancy tea ceremony lol, which while maybe a mix of elegant and warrior I would like more warrior- just an imo ofc.
Not the end of the world or anything. In referencing OP's side photo and another FF game, it would be nice to see more wispy wavy hair styles like Basch in FFXII.
Anyway- the new hair styles look neat regardless, more good options is great.
