New Hairstyle (Ponytail) Consideration

Some backstory: I have an obsession with ponytails (ask anybody who knows me).. and I've always wanted a ponytail that looks something like the one linked below.
Would it be possible to have a hairstyle in an upcoming patch for all races that looks something like this?

With the main aim of the design having the ponytail reach the upper part of the mid-back-ish, the ponytail start from the top of the head, the roots being dyable, and no bangs (all hair pulled back)?


I LOVE the linked one's root color too!! If you guys were able to make it happen, I'd love you forever! ^.^

NOTE: The current ponytail design is SO close, but I don't like the bangs!


Thanks in advance!

Probably not, the devs have talked about long hair before, and if you notice from the picture, it would very much cause clipping issues with a lot of armor pieces. Unless the devs radically change the way hair is rendered, and give it proper physics and collision detections (so basically never), we won't see this kind of hair.

Shorter ponytails yes, long ones, not likely.

There is already a style with hair about as long as that shown in the picture, it's the long princess style hair with a headband and bangs, an it clips many things (it's Kosmos' favorite style as it's similar to the hair that KOS-MOS has). The Samsonian locks are about that long as well and have no bangs. A ponytail like the one requested would seem to be within the realms of possibility.

I'm all for the addition of new hairstyles (especially male hairstyles that don't make me look like an anime protagonist) but I personally find it hard to use longer styles because the clipping drives me crazy. I'll never say no to a new hairstyle, though, and that would look very good with certain glamours.

I'd really rather they work on making hair more realistic first. It drives me absolutely insane how blocky a lot of the longer styles are.

Am with you on that one. Every MMO out there has the same 'problem', blocky sticky hats with hair texture. Not sure if you are familiar with Alice Madness Returns, awesome hair tesselation. It is possible, game developers could at least make it a local setting, so only the 'driver' can see it... Oh well, maybe one day....

I'd love to have more ponytail options though. I'm still hoping they'll add Hilda's hairstyle for us plebs one day.

well, they have considerably enhanced how the hair moves when the character moves, so anything is possible.

Omg give us Hilda's hair please SE

I would DEFINITELY settle for this. *thumbs up*

Considering it's already created.. they already have what they need, it's just getting it to fit to all races, then BAM. Community morale boost!

Kinda wish we could have Cinque's hairstyle, but without the side curls. A simple braided ponytail style would be great.

Would not be surprised to see it on the Mogstation for like $14.99 or some other overpriced number.

Probably, a pack with her armor.

Her armor isn't unique though. Unless her pants/boots are. Top/gloves are just Archaeoskin(or however it is spelled).

I think we all need this, even male characters. Please SE.

I would love to have Hilda's hair.

I'm so attached to my current hairstyle. I haven't changed it for the longest time now, but I would change to Hilda's hairstyle in a heartbeat if it was available.

Please SE!

Bumping,


Square Enix, would you be able to confirm if this (releasing Hilda's hairstyle) is possible?
I'm sure you'd have people willing to pay if that's what it takes to make this possible!
Guys, like this comment if you agree with me!

Let's see if the community can get the ball rolling by making our requests known!
