New hairstyles please

Can we please have new hairstyles? For Viera & Hrothgar as well?

Add NPC hairs too; the contest hairs which were just lackluster & looked really similar to one another (and also don't look great on either male or female) No more mullets either please!

Hilda's ponytail hair
Yugiri Mistwalker's hair
Gaia's hair
Emet-Slech's hair
2B Hairstyle
Hien Ponytail Hairstyle

Curly hair
Dread-lock hair
Box braids
Better mohawks
Elegant bun/ updo's
More hair variety please -
Better short hair, not copy-paste anime cuts

Hairstyles with ribbons, feathers, hair pins, combs, beads, dyeable headbands, bandana's, etc.

Maybe take a look at solo FF titles & add both male & female hairstyles- like Reno, Zidane, Wakka, Zell, Irvine, Tifa, Yuffie, Aerith (ribbon too please) Rinoa & Garnet, Terra, Rydia, Yule, Yuna, Lulu, Quistis, Rikku

Also, thick eyebrows, stubble & beards for all male races rather than a select few

Not happening, if anything we just get those short spiky unisex hairstyles which we already have like a dozen or so

They could start by unlocking some of the already locked hairstyles. I know I've seen a few NPCs with race specific hairstyles, that aren't of that race.

It's not a matter of

'unlocking' them and simply copy pasting them all on the races.

Au'ra have horns.
Miqo'te have ears
Elezen have ears


They all need to be shaped around the different sized heads which pretty much means making them from scratch

Then there is the decision behind hiding it/showing what to peek out for different helmet skeletons.

We've got a lot of neat hairstyles and they all come at a good rate.

It would be nicer to have more actually short hairstyles. Not long hair that reaches your shoulders, not bobs or messy hair that reaches your chin. Non-hyur races have like 3 actually short hairstyles and most of the time 2 of them look like crap. I've had the same style since SB came out because the rest look awful.

Oooo! Please bring back the Rainmaker for those of us who don’t have it!!

I don't mind short hairstyles, only they all look generic & the same so far. If it's a long hairstyle but an up-do like a ponytail or a giant bun or something, that's creative- not another ceasar or half shaved buzz cut - but I think the originality in short hairs is severely lacking

If you don't want hairstyles, just put that instead

I don't think we have any neat hairs since most of them look almost the same.

I would love another hairstyle contest & would hope vastly different hairstyles would be chosen, rather than simple cookie cutter ones

There's alot of hairstyles npcs have that players could use!

The TRUTH THO.

I feel like that some of the design staff at Enix is still stuck in the 80s/90s and likes mullet/single anime bang hairstyles a bit too much, I wish they'd hold 2 hairstyle contests. One for Viera/Hrothgar and the other for all the others.

I think they should also add Rinoa, Yuna, Ashe, Fran, Dagger/Garnet, Terra, Irvine, Squall, Sephiroth, Basch, Lenne's hairstyles as well and not "knockoff" versions of them. Also, port some racial hairstyles over to other races like Mother Miounne's hair to humans and Au'ra. We need longer hair, or at least the illusion of long hair styles (sideswoops, ponytails that have a long trail, long braids) and long flowing hairstyles that don't get wider at the bottom like it's bottom heavy. I would enjoy seeing curly, coily hairstyles. More real world, practical hairstyles (nothing frou-frou or overdone) but like a normal looking ponytail maybe two, one that's obviously aimed more for male and the other looking more feminine and no weird hairline. top knot buns, normal braids, hairstyles with normal fringe, windblown, short dreads and so on. The majority of hairstyles are short, boyish hairstyles and the rest are just anime/Cloud knockoff hairstyles that are shared between all races aside from Viera/Hrothgar they each have racial hairstyles that are really the only decent ones outside of the feminine contest ones. Viera customization is a massive disappointment, and Hrothgar are goofy. I don't think they'll ever be updated and what we have with them is what we will always have.

Speaking of bobs, I really wish for a Android 18esque style bob. A real proper bob that doesn't have baby fringe. There certainly needs to be more variety and not 4x of the same hairstyle from different angles or a different accessory color. Why they didn't just add a slider that changes accessory color is beyond me. offtopic on that though.
There needs to be better short hairstyles that don't involve looking like a fucboi for certain.

I second this. As a Roegadyn male, I find that I only really like the hairstyle I currently like. Since it's a race exclusive, I'm just lucky it happened to be on Roe.

I think it'd be cool if we could get some male hairstyles that have the sides shaved with tattoos on the scalp. Granted I'd be happy with any new masculine short styles. All we've been getting is long and feminine styles. That last one was real bad.

If I understand right (having admittedly not poked around at the models in the resource files to double-check this), the biggest problem are the Hrothgar; people have said that each of the Hrothgar face options is an entire head, each of which is a different shape. Which gives some nice variety in profile, but means you don't make a hairstyle for the Hrothgar to give them hair, but rather a hairstyle for every possible head a Hrothgar can have.

I know we have shorter hairstyles, but I’d like a more decent variety. I mean I know short hair styles aren’t the easiest because you can only do so much but I really want Auron’s hair. Or FF7 Cid.

I'd be especially eager to see Hien's hairstyle added to the game as well as some more short hairstyles that are designed with male characters in mind first and foremost. I don't mind unisex hairstyles in theory, yet in practice it's clear that the majority of new hairstyles are designed to be feminine or androgynous. More variety would be great, especially since globally the split of male and female characters is roughly equal.

I'd definitely like to see more hairstyles. Especially the 2B one, I'd love for everyone to walk around with that except myself of course.

MORE short styles?! I feel like at the rate they're going they're just going to start releasing bald heads. It's going to be buzzed head, bald head, bald head again but with a slight tint-LIKE PLEASEEE NO MORE SHORTTT well ok ok. For guys yes. but PLEASEE oh my god...the female hairstyles were so lame I swapped genders all together. Every hairstyle that came out was short!!

Like I get it, gender neutral, but it shouldnt be 10 hairstyles come out and all of them are shoulder length and neutral attempted. I'm sure we've all seen women in real life before, at the very least once. Me I see one every morning in the mirror so that's how I know for sure! Some of us do have long hair!!! Some of us even have medium length hair! (medium meaning to our chest, not our shoulders. Shoulders is short). Now, I know some people like to complain a lot about hair clipping, I know I know...but luckily I'm here to tell you today Square that those people will never be happy-not until you make a whole new game altogether so let's just go on ahead and slip some new more feminine styles in. NO not with 20 braids in it!!! I know you. Medium-Long, with bangs. Pick up a womens fashion magazine and go from there. Non-no, Popteen, Seventeen, ViVi-I know Japanese fashion magazines very well, they have great ideas for you to flip through in there. As for mens hairstyle, short and cool looking. Please and thank you.

The problem is the gender neutral styles. A lot of people want either longer hairstyles, or short hairstyles - NOT inbetween. These styles make neither group happy.

I would like Mjrn’s hair (including her little diadem thing) for viera if at all possible, with a bangs option. Or even a fluffier sort of bob with the little diadem thing if they don’t want to give us her exact cut. Kind of like the one hair that’s clearly inspired by Fran, but not an exact replica.

I know people are tired of short hair but viera really lack short options. I’ve actually been pretty jealous of all the short hair everyone else has been getting, as I prefer it.

Short hair? We haven't had much in the way of short hair in a while. Unless you mean medium length hairstyles?

I don’t think we’ve had a single new “male” hairstyle released since 1.0.

It’s all unisex leaning to feminine beyond the original character creator.

I agree with everything you just said.

I wish this game had Nioh 2's character creator. Pick a base hairstyle, choose your bangs.

We'll probably get 2B and 9S's hairstyles after completing the series. Like how we got Ramza and Alma's hairstyles after completing the Return to Ivalice series.

Dunno if it's fair to say that SE doesn't deliver hairstyles. I think every content patch we get at least 01 new style, and even multiple on xpac changes.

However in all honesty it's pretty valid to ask for more variety in the silhouettes provided.

A huge chunk of new style releases are either a variation of something resembling FF protagonist anime short spiky hair OR asymetrical bob straight cut.

We need different shapes, different hair textures... where are the curly and wavy hairstyles?

That new mullet with the bandana (Lyon's hair) added in the previous patch I would consider a great addition and all IF we didn't have almost the same style but without the bandana and side braid.

I would also love Ryne's hair!! I'm honestly a little surprised we haven't gotten Hilde's hair yet since we've gotten NPC hair before and she was back in HW. This game is so limited with customization the least they can do is give us more hair options. T_T

Id have toe agree with the general consensus that we need more longer hairstyles and particularly short hairstyles. I mean I sport the great lengths one almost exclusively cause its a nice long hairstyle. In the meanwhile, theyre pumping out to many "1 size fits all" hairstyles and its getting a bit old hat.

Also, I would spend a million MGP a pop to get access to 'race locked' hairstyles. Theres some on Viera, Aura, and even on Roe that are awesome looking.

The no bangs option was clearly an after-thought, looks horrendous. I like the design approach though, but only if they consider every option thoughtfully, including the no bangs option. I'll give SE credit, the way they did it for female Viera (bangs/no bangs) was 5/5 stars quality.

Really tired of the boring unisex hairstyles. I really want some more hairstyles for viera, esp since each one has a with/without fringe/bangs that really only makes it feel like there are half as many.
