Request: More than 1 hairstyle implemented per gender from the Hairstyle Contest

It's simple, can we have more than 1 hairstyle per gender added to the game?

Considering how bland the latest hairstyles SE have introduced and the amazing quality of the hairstyles submitted, we should at least have the 3 most voted hairs per gender added, even if it is distributed and implemented over future patches.

Some of the hairstyles on that thread are better than what Square Enix came up with lately, so having them just thrown away after the contest is over is a waste, why not just make use of them?

I agree.

Yes, please.

only one per gender? I thought I read it somewhere that they'll add 2.

Two hairstyles, as in 1 per gender. "Grand Prize: 2 entries (one from each category)" In this case, male and female. And who knows, they might pull from the pool of entrants down the line. We don't know, that's the future and this is the present.

Did you guys read the Lodestone post?

*In the event that an entry other than the grand prize winner is deemed to be excellent, there is a possibility that it will be implemented in the future.

If the team likes it (or maybe the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. most voted ones ) they may implement them in further patches.

We can only dream.

I've been wondering about that for years on pretty much every event and promotion Square has done to date...

They plan to add just 1 new hair?! lol.........

I expected 5 per gender!

I'm seriously disappointed in the selection we got- I thought that at the very least we'd get some variety among all regions but not only did it look like most of the entries came from the Japan side, but to not get more than one implemented if they were doing that? Not saying that the ones selected were terrible but at least give us a little more in design choice.

I think they said somewhere that if any other hairstyles besides the winners prove to be popular they may implement them at a later time.

I agree 100%. I'm excited that #16 finally surpassed #21 (in raw votes, so doesn't mean anything, especially since 21 is after 16) because I hate that one, but obviously a ton of people like it or they wouldn't be neck-and-neck. I hope they at least implement the top two hairstyles per gender, that way double the people can be happy.

This is an awesome idea!

like it was said " there is a possibility", not guaranteed, so i want that SE knows there are people that liked a lot of the hairstyles displayed there

Honestly I think it's a likely scenario, because any popular hair that doesn't quite win would be a ready-made idea that they could immediately start work on rather than taking the time to come up with an original concept. It would be easy for them to use the fact that it was a close runner up as an excuse to spend less time on designing future hairstyles and more on other parts of the game, so with the fact they said it's possible I tend to believe it's probably very likely.

I agree. There are quite a few couple of nice styles. Just picking one for each gender is, to be honest, quite foolish and disrespectful to the artists who put down the hard work into them.

I'm all for this

having the new hairstyles for sale on the saucer would be good way to use all the mgp i am not using because there is nothing new to get there

Please look forward to it!

They'll likely add new gear in 3.1, or at least I hope they will. I'm sitting on a ton of MGP, and I'm never going to blow them on TT again. 100k and I get one semi-rare card, and all the others are duplicates... I'd kill for a different 200k MGP mount, or a new gear set. The NIN weapons on there looks like a plastic toy, but I suppose that could be said for most of them.
