We need longer hairstyles

This "stopping at/above the shoulders" trend with all hairstyles is getting to be old; there's absolutely no variety to be had in length. You're stuck with either short hair or shoulder length; or down to the scapula in Female Au Ri's case and the hime cut.

Like, I don't see a reason as to why we need to have such short hairstyles, and I highly doubt it's an engine limitation at this point. Personally, I feel that many of the hair contest styles were greatly diverse and should have been heavily considered over others, but instead we essentially got the same tired and true "short" styles that we continue receiving to this day.

Something genuinely unique; and of varying lengths, would be a godsend.

If I had to guess I would say that longer hairstyles would have significantly more clipping issues to deal with. We already have some clipping problems with certain gear with the hairstyles we have now, but a longer hairstyle would clip with just about everything. This might be why the developers haven't included any exceptionally long hairstyles yet. I don't mind having to work around clipping issues if it means more variety, but I know there are those who would prefer as little clipping as possible.

I work around clipping as well, having played games like Mabinogi, Pangya and other older Korean MMOs, I don't see clipping as much an issue as others. Goodness knows our weapons and everything else clip right now, (As a NIN player its very obvious) but that's just the way it works when a game doesn't use more robust physics. It'd still be nice though, since most hairstyles are really... Lackluster, for lack of a better word. I find myself sticking to Lightning or the hairstyle your currently see, but even so I still get bored with it.

your wish is granted

Clipping is the reason, although a bad one as many people really don't care about it. I wish they'd at least release one really long hairstyle and see if the player base like it. Support this thread.

The devs should make gear where we don't got absurdly huge collars. Those always annoy me when I wanna use long hair.

I think another reason might be because the hair probably won't move as much as you would like it to, which would look bad on MNK, DRG and NIN.

I'd love more longer hairstyles too, also something simple, a simple braid with no side bangs or silly things hanging down on your front (like one of the braids we have, which the male version lacks those silly sidebangs). Long hair, nothing fancy, just plain loose hair, simple braids/ponytails etc. Most of the hairstyles are too "worked up" for me imo.

I know someone that's tried to pull off a Shantae Cosplay before, seemed to have all the right clothes, did not have the right Ponytail.

That said, I'd love to see a Ponytail close to that length if not as long. :D

I would absolutely love longer hair styles, also more mid to long length over the shoulder styles. Clipping or no, the clips that happen on my favorite glamours don't detract at all from my love of the glamours anyway, I'm all for hair!!!

I for one would love some longer hair. I try to make my characters like me in real life but there is no hair that is even close to the length I have. The longest one I have tried clips way to much with my armor though. So we would need some better physics options with that longer hair. While I would greatly appreciate this I just don't see that happening.

Yes for longer hairstyles! I want Platinum level of hair!

I would loooove longer hairstyles. I think I've gotten my fill of short hair.

Cute, long pigtails would be amazing ;)

Final Fantasy titles using Luminous Engine

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn: (described as using a scaled-down "branch" of Luminous, optimized for high numbers of player-character actors on screen simultaneously)

So in other Words, all they had to do is update parts of it (Which they probably have done so far looking at the DX11 Features) and add some Realtime Hair Physics.
This would result that Hair is not simply going through Clothing anymore yet rather would find it's own way.

In case someone didn't knew, FFXV is using Luminous Engine too, yet it is far more Updated.

The longer ones we currently have already move veeery awkwardly IMO. Like that one with the hairband.

I mean, it's a bit better than in WoW, where the hair was just completely glued to your back and wouldn't move one bit no matter what you did and instead, had the part near the neck stretch and bend, but...ugh.

I like long hair too, but this game has a serious problem with clipping, even on short or mid-long hair.

Need fix this first, before add longer hairstyles.

I'm just glad we don't have horrifying hair physics like in DoA, where each piece of hair would crawl up and over the character's shoulder like it was a snake or something. o.o

Long hair is gonna clip, I don't know how many generations of gaming we're going to go through before it's ever fixed, right now it's just a fact. I don't even have to worry about armour because although I love my char using either of the two female Roegadyn exclusive long hairstyles, they clip... with my boobs. No big collars required! :rolleyes:

From the back, it's a similar length to many of the longest hairstyles currently available.

I'd pay a year's worth of subscription time for her hair and outfit ;)



(well, not really, but I'd definitely get it if it's on Mogstation)

This is the very problem I've been having with my Miqo'te. Due to the jacket i'm using for my style, I am dangerously limited to a few (at best) that don't clip through its collar. It's hard to enjoy a glamour like this, when anything beyond the neck just skewers the jacket. I'd have no problem if they added longer hair styles, it's just hard to find a proper mesh of glamour pieces that look right on her whenever I apply said hair styles. The only ones I've managed to get this to work with is my Black Mage pieces and White Mage pieces. >>

If nothing else, we may actually better from implying the need for a project to make the current hair styles more versatile, to adjust to not just the hat, but the body piece as well. If hair styles really are a touchy subject in regards to clipping and the like, they may benefit from doing this sooner rather than later.

Give us guys (all races) this:

Honestly, I'm ok without more longer hairstyles - I hate how the look with some gear options makes it appear as though the hair is floating in suspended animation above the shoulders like an entire can of hairspray was used...

Agreed, we need more longer hair styles, and do something to alleviate the clipping. If games running wire frame graphics on 8-bit 2MHz CPUs with 16KB of RAM in 1984 can handle hidden line removal, then how is it we cannot do a better job with gear/hair interactions in 2016 with multiple tera-flops and 8GB of hyper fast memory under our TV? Either that or create gear models that allow the user to toggle off the huge cowls and hoods that clip hair.

I need those side bangs, or just bangs in general. My character looks weird without bangs to me.

Yes!! we have like what? 5 or 6 long hair styles and 2 of them are locked behind a race. Au ra female with the hime cut and roe.
Guys have it even worst, I think only the male au ra has a true long hair.

All males have one long hairstyle with a headband, while certain races have a slicked back style of relatively long hair, and then Au Ra males have a longer pony tail and another long hairstyle that looks soaked. Personally I would highly prefer the all race style to be without the headband, and I would like a long hair style that didn't look like it was wet. Thankfully I have access to the long ponytail, but I would still love for more long hair options without accessories.

considering this is the publishers that brought us Sephiroths epic hair the hair in this game has been a bit.. disappointing.

I'm good with current hairstyles and tbh I find most of the long ones a bit ugly, alas the clipping issues doesn't help. But I would like to have some messy buns, more braids, longer ponytails, wavy hairstyles and so on. I would ask for more variety in the hairstyles than lengh.

^ Yes please!
Most of the miqote hairstyles are ugly, so I end up staying with a single style for ages. Please fix.

I also wouldn't mind if they were to release longer hairstyles, getting a down to your waist or to your knees hairstyles would be interesting despite being really impractical due to our character's trade ^^.

I think we have enough hairstyles in the game. Think the game could use more face paint options. I do think they should make more hairstyles but more aimed for the release expansions rather then every patch.

I don't know... hair all the way down to the waste is just a bit much to me. I'm okay with halfway down the back. I like my hair shorter though anyway and never wore a long style xD. So I guess my opinion can't count. Veeeerry few(like 3 hairstyles including my current <3) look good on my character. Textures, shininess, whatever.


To your knees? You mean past your butt? 0.0... @.@. The thought is making my back itchy.

They joked about adding Sailor Moon's hairstyle. Imagine those pigtails flowing in the wind! (and clipping through your whole body...)

I'm on the boat of generally prefering short cuts, but I can't see how more variety is bad.

Now if only that nice, braided ponytail could have an option without those ugly, Aeris ringlet curls for ladies, too...
