Hair, There and Everywhere

In another post about character customization I and a few others semi-jokingly posted about starting a revolution to include body hair in the customization options. As I actually do want to see these options included I thought I would give the idea it's own spotlight.

I don't know whether or not the devs have any inclination to add any more features to character customization, but it never hurts to make suggestions.

So join the revolution: #where'sthehair

I think they want to, but have expressed numerous times the near impossibility of adding new options to the existing character creator. If we get the options for body modifications I think it'll sadly have to be regulated to a new race unless they fix whatever issue is keeping them from expanding the CC.

With that said...

X'D I love it!

I wish they could go back and redo the character creator and add sliders... something like this would make me really happy..

Add in optional eyebrows for highlanders, the WoL is a grown man and can decide if he wants to follow highlander customs.

Oooo, didn't think about eyebrows. Having large bushy eyebrows for any race would be awesome.

My boyfriend plays a Roe and I regularly tease him about how much he must pay all those lalafell to wax him. I call him a human dolphin.

So yeah, not that its at the top of my list or anything but I think this could be cute as long as it was optional.

I just wish they would unlock all the facial hairs and hairstyles for all faces and heads of all races.

I could imagine waxing a roe would get pretty pricey.

I think they're just trying to give each race their own unique cultural identifiers. Sure someone could adopt another culture's hairstyle, but it wouldn't be as prominent for that race as it would be for the original race.

I know it won't replace an official body hair patch but there is a mod for body hair on male characters on Nexus for those on PC. >3>

Do you have to be playing through Steam to use the Nexus?

No.
You can download it from the Nexus website but you'll need FFXIV TextTools so you can replace some skin textures.
It looks like the mod is for Male Roes only though (I could of sworn there was one for all male characters)... >x>()

It sucks that it's only for roes. Isn't it against the ToS to use mods though?

Yes, so stop talking about it so this thread doesn't get closed >.>

I support this movement! Hairy Lala running around let us make this a reality!

That's what I thought. Just in case though: to any devs reading this, I am not and do not advocate the use of mods in this game.

I'd like some more messy hairstyles that don't look styled.

This is actually what I was expecting when I first heard there were going to be catgirls in the game.

That face is glorious! Though I am all for changing Lala faces, complete rework required.

Obviously.

Made a huge thread about this very thing long time ago back in 2.0

I did get a response from them back then, it was not a full stop "no". But it wasn't a yes either. SHOW SUPPORT FOR THIS I'D STILL LIKE TO HAVE IT!

See, this is kind of a weird thing because I'd love for it to be an option, I think it'd look great on my ex-bf's toon, but I wouldn't use it myself since I'm way more on the androgynous pretty boy type of characters lol

It's nice to see that this is something other people really want.

I don't see how the hair could affect gear? The gear is essentially just a skin replacing the existing texture of the torso. The only gear I can see this affecting is shirts with open collars since you would have to have the hair poking out.

This would be entirely optional. Pretty boys are alright, but I'd rather be a handsome man.

The hair movement is all about coming together. We will not push away the hairless wonders of the world.

Not really. Our payoff is the scream of pain when we pull all the wax off at once. It's good for a full ten minutes of laughter.

That is a steep price to pay indeed. All the more reason for the push for going eu naturál.

I personally wouldn't use it, I like pretty boys, but more character creation options is always a good thing! Let people be as handsome and manly as they want!

And they should add more facial hair options, I think a lot of people want that too.

I literally just saw "The 40 Year Old Virgin for the 1st time yesterday and that chest waxing scene was torture, because it was really happening in real life! All the actors reactions were real! Ouch!!!
