Changing hairstyles with gearsets

I was talking to my fiancée today, and she casually mentioned that she wishes you could save hairstyles with outfits. That made me curious as to whether or not it was discussed, and it seems to have been a couple years since anyone's brought it up.

Personally, I think it s a great idea! Some hairstyles just don't go with some kinds of gear and I think it would be a nice little quality of life improvement. The two main means of implementation that I saw were a slot on the glamour plate for a hairstyle, or a wearable wig (or both!). What do you guys think?

I think that would be cool! But I dont think we can expect it to happen any more than adding a minion to a gearset : (

Or a title. Can we please change titles with gear sets too?

Hair, minion, title and chocobo Barding tied to gearsets please!

Few days ago same thing came to my mind. Totally agreed. Yoshi-P, make it happen pls. ^^

It's come up before on the forums, don't think it's ever been officially addressed. Something something memory limits, please understand.

Are you trying to leave the Aesthetician without a job? he need that 2000 gil.

This is probably why it will never happen, regardless of how much people want it. Unless they can code it to take that 2k gil every time you change without going to the Aesthetician.

You can do both of these things via macros. I have separate titles for each gearset, and used to change minions too before it got annoying and I wanted other ones.

Unless they make it require an item costing 20k or something to set up. Then they'd get a decent chunk of gil. Plus people swap out glamours/hairstyles all the time, they'd get their gil.

Boy, I'm glad I did a quick search before creating my own thread since there are many threads about this issue. I decided to bump this one since the OP had the most votes among the other threads :P It'd be really neat to have this feature added. Like many people mentioned in the different threads, some outfits work with a specific hairstyle and sometimes we want specific/different hairstyles for specific/different job plates. I don't know how difficult this is to implement, but it would certainly be an awesome QoL feature to have ^^

I'd like to see this too. I think what it would require essentially, in part, would be a re-working of the glamour plate system. Wouldn't be rocket science for them to do, TBH.

Personally I don't think I'd ever use it. :P I like my current hair too much, I've tried checking out other options but always end up coming back to the old ponytail. We'll need more good hairstyles to be added in before I have a reason to use a feature like that.

If they wanted you to pay for it, I'm kinda wondering if there'd be a way for them to do so upon swapping gearsets. The way I see it, if the game detects that you're switching to a hairstyle that's different from your current one, it could prompt you to "pay X amount of gil." That said, I don't know jack about programming or how feasible that'd be but I'm just throwing the idea out there.

To be honest, I don't see how this has anything to do with the Aesthetician. If you pay money the first time you link the hairstyle to the glamour, that should be enough since that's how changing hairstyles works in the game. Charging a fee each and every time we switch jobs would be insane. Sometimes I change to the wrong job by mistake. Am I supposed to pay money in this case too? Instead, they can charge you each time you change the hairstyle of the plate and that would be fair.

When I first read the title, my first thought reminded me of some unique head pieces from other MMO that changes avatar’s hairstyle that isn’t found from the character creator engine (which in FFXIV, the equivalent of this would be the hairstyles we see in aesthetician).

Other than that... well why not? IF they can provide us, that is. Either way I don’t think I’m swapping to any other hairstyles than my current ones—I love it (translation: simp) way too much lol. If anything that I’d wish from them, is more mid to longer hairstyles! And mind the clipping (super important)!! ;_;
