Can we at least get PREVIEWS.

The new Samsonian hairstyle still costs around 450k on my server and given all I do I really haven't had the time to farm the drop in POTD.

What I would like to see at the least is the ability to preview these rare hairstyles (given it appears this could only be the first in a series of hard to gets) in the Aesthetician. I've played some games where outfits and hairstyles can be previewed prior to purchasing them. You can try them but not use them until paid for or unlocked.

I don't particularly want to spend the money or the time given there is a good chance I might not even like it after I buy it. We can preview clothes, could use a better preview for furniture/housing and items like this should have a preview as well.

I feel bad saying this, bit i didnt touch PotD until 3 days ago maybe, and...this was the first item I got, lol.

Conveniently, we are on the same server, Siren, maybe we can work out a deal, maybe for like a minion, or something, that i cant get dont have. I have it on the MB right now i will pull it when i get home around 4pm, providing it hasn't sold yet.

Dammit Jo, you should have said something, I just sold an extra one a few days ago, would have given you it :(

But yeah, previews would be nice

Oh i can afford it... my problem though is that I probably won't like it and I have 4 accounts. I would like to try it on all of them. Just seems to me that making a preview of the hair available shouldn't be that hard for the developers and it would simply be an unlock that is needed to save it and use it.

And thank you. I just haven't had time to deal with POTD other than a clear. Relic and my alts rule my life and the glow stick weapons aren't a motivator for me.

Good idea indeed !
I'de also like, if they add such an option, to have precision regarding how you obtain them, maybe some hints ^^

Excuse me make your own thread. This is simply about allowing for previews for items that are in game and hard to get and which could easily be made available to preview before purchasing or farming.

I had multiple tabs open, and I didn't realize I posted my response in the wrong thread until I scrolled up and read the responses before mine. Don't worry, I already fixed it.

Woo double posts. Thanks mobile forums.

Any who, it should just show an option while getting a haircut and be greyed out or something.

I've never understood why the unlockable hairstyles aren't listed at the aesthetician with a padlock over them, indicating you can try them on but not actually use them.

HeyBunny, that's a great idea, and it can be in Character creation too that way, and that way you can also change your hair to an unlocked hairstyle with fantasia instead of also needing to pay 2000 gil in game after to use an unlocked hairstyle.

Agreed. With bonus points if there's a tooltip when you select the locked style, and it states at least the name of the item you need to unlock it, and ideally also where it can be gotten from.

If they could also put an icon, like a star, to show you which new hairstyle you unlocked. Last night I scored the samsonian locks but i had no idea what they looked like and ended up taking guesses at which is what.

Wouldn't take much development time I don't think to implement and would be a nice qol addition.

I donno, its not that much of a big deal, quite frankly I just google the hair style that I'm curious about, or any gear that i cant immediately /check.

They should bring this to the Mog Station glamour items and hairstyles as well.

I agree with your first post and also that they should show where to get them. I am not sure when they included this with the music scrolls but you now can see where to get them so its something that is possible.

@Keramory: Well not everything that looks good on one character will look good on your own too. I saw some pictures of the hair in the forum and I liked how it looked on a lot of characters. Yet when I choose it on my character I only wore it for some time and changed back to my short hair because it looked off. So if there had been a preview I would have seen how it looks and could have sold it for a nice sum of gil (got it shortly after patch) or gift it to someone from my FC. Because after that I barely got anything good from the chests and no other hair..

This with the padlock suggestion would be great and have saved me some real money. I didn't like how Ystola's hair looked on my character even though I knew what it looked like.
