Bun Haircut vs Miqo'te

Once upon a time, we dreamed of a an haircut with small buns which was incredibly cute:

The hype might not has been as high as housing was, but the hope some races were crushed the same way, when they noticed this:

Which makes me wonder if someone just asked themselves "would anybody wear small buns on the side like this ? Wouldn't it better like this ?"

Excuse the rushed edit which took me literally 3mn. But. Seriously ? Would you mind saving this haircut for all the miqo'te players and makes it looks like it should ?

I'd be happy with them being anywhere else.

Ugh yes, please fix this square. I would prefer them *anywhere* else or an option to just remove the damn things. The hairstyle is cute without the buns too but kind of unuseable as is. At least give us the option to move the damn things!

Miqo'te ears sit far enough back that the buns could probably sit in front with little to no clipping (at least not any more than other hairstyles/headpieces). Putting them on the sides of the head like that really isn't flattering at all. This could have been such a cute hairstyle, too.

I'm sorry to admit this, but I've been laughing about this all day. I feel bad for you miqo, but it's too funny not to giggle.

Please Square Enix, I want look like Chun-Li not Frankenstein :c

Please, please, please fix this!
These buns look ridiculous! I was really looking forward to this cute hairstyle, but now I am terribly disappointed.
If you can't move them could you at least get rid of the buns? This is such a cute hairstyle, but with the buns like that it just looks stupid.

I honestly feel like SE is trolling us, because I am under the impression that they check out the hairstyles on every race/gender to see how it looks.
And for them to look at this and be like: THIS LOOKS WONDERFUL LET'S PUSH IT THROUGH...
I am utterly at a loss.
FIX THIS PLEASE!

I'm really confused as to why Square Enix thought that to be the solution to the placement of the buns. It looks very dumb. It's really sad, because such a cute hairstyle has been ruined. Was that really the only option?

I tried so hard to like this hair style on my Miqo'te but... I just couldn't do it. It just looks like she has meatballs stuck to the side of her head. T ^T

I was expecting to see it everywhere like with Sice's hair. I only saw it on another Elezen. Didn't know why until I saw it on a Miqo. I stopped and did a double take. At first I thought of Leia.

I love this hairstyle, but the bun placement is incredibly weak. They can go behind the ears very easily!

I mean, they don't check them as though they make one rendering of the hairstyle and then the program just arranges it however it wants, because this would have been done by a person. Someone physically used their hands to put these buns there, and then whoever is in charge of approving these things approved it.

What I want to know is who the heck were those people?

Devs, please fix his for the poor Miqo'te, and the poor me who has to see the people who are running around wearing it despite how silly it looks and being unable to take any part of my life seriously.

"Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi"

This hair had the potential to be so cute on my cat, and I was so sad at how it looked! Please give us a fix.

NOOOO! I was looking forward to this!... what have they done to my oxhorn hairstyle!?!?

Fix it SE! please! It looks so horrible on the sides.

I'm behind getting it changed. I got excited about this hairstyle but putting it on the sides like they are? Plain ridiculous.

I put on a hat cause the bottom half of it at least is exactly what I'd like and has a good length.

I was disappointed they where at the sides but i tried it and i kind of like them it looks really pretty on my Miqot'e.

I would prefer them to be on the back maybe but i do like the style it does look nice with hats...i think the drill curls one is bad but its a matter of taste and the Sice hair looks awful like a chocobo tail.
it would be nice if people could have the choice.

i think the height is kinda cute but not with them being plopped on the side like that...

Adding more and BETTER edits on different angle to prove it's possible.
Please SE, don't, just don't ignore the Miqo'te, we deserve our cute buns !!!

Either on top like in the posted edit or even completely removed would be so much nicer than their current side placement. Having them on the sides and so small is just really awful looking and impractical.

I'd love to see the hair placed so it looks like the other races. I really was excited to for my character to look like Sailor Moon, not Princess Leia!

I'd really love to see it changed too, but i think it looks silly in front of the ears too.. Why not place them behind the ears a bit, so it looks excactly like the other races?

Super bad edits to show what i mean :p I'd much prefer them to be behind the ears!

I'd like an option without the buns even if they moved their location. I like the hairstyle, but the buns look weird on my character.

I'd actually really like a version of the style with no buns at all. There's a similar one, but it hasn't got the same fringe or length. So... umm, please?

edit: Sorry for the related-not-related post.

It looks weird on your character because the set was designed to be a female hairstyle, but SE just made it unisex so they didn't have to listen to all the whining.

It also looks weird on mine and she's probably female (we can't be 100% certain with the forced underwear).

LOL. Isn't that because of the placement of the buns? The hair looks great on my female lala. The one reason why I'm not using it is because they designed it to clip (on lala at least) from the get go. The two long front strands are so long (again, at least on lala) that they clip with my shoulders.

it's kind of the whole topic, if you read like.. The first message.
Or even that one : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4435359

I don't think buns on the back works because of clipping which might have been the reason why they put them on the side, in front there is no clipping, basically where there already are the fox ears and such.
No bun is also a good option.

Nah, it's mostly because of the way the characters are styled and of course my own personal tastes and perceptions. I also have a female midlander and two female au ra - it does suit the cute looking Au Ra very well (since she already looks cute from the get-go and the hairstyle amplifies that), but the other just looks like she's gonna kill whoever made her wear that hairstyle and it just looks... off. The midlander suffers from a similar issue, she works best with spiky hairstyles like my miqo'tes.

As for clipping, the back part clips with a lot of our high collars, I haven't noticed any front clipping. I personally use it in combination with a bandana, because it hides the buns (regardless of race), but keeps the otherwise nice framing.

this was the most amusing hairstyle i ever saw when i looked at it yesterday morning....like....seriously square? who thought that was a good placement.....so i went for the ponytail instead which i reallllly like on my kitty.

I've seen this hairstyle with the buns look good on some male characters (not including Miqo'te, because the placement of them makes them all look bad imo) . It depends on the way they are designed and the preference of the player.

Please, please SE... Just remove the buns if you dont want to put them up there for whatever dang reason. The hairstyle could be so cute. I know you guys have better stuff to worry about, but I think you also care that we like the stuff you want us to be excited for!

Please, please fix this hairstyle!

My main is normally a Miqo (currently rolling female Midlander right now), and I would love to actually use this hairstyle on her when I go back to Miqo. I was so excited for it and ready to change my hair for the first time in a year and half only to nearly break my ribs from laughing at the ridiculousness of it. Was the person in charge of coding this hairstyle for Miqo'te drunk at the time?! No one would wear the buns like that!!! D:

Seriously s-e, either remove the buns or give us hairdos that fix the placement of them. I'm so sad that this looks so bad on miqo'te!

I honestly thought it was gonna be one hairstyle for the men and one for the women.
....Which one is from the hairstyle contest..?

Showing support here. Hairstyle would really be cute if it were fixed. Honestly I'd prefer no buns at all. Also great tags.
