A side ponytail but with bangs. Fit for a toddler
Sorry, Viera & Hrothgar- you get the shaft on hairstyles again :/
I'd honestly rather have Hilda's ponytail or Gaia's hair, even Ryne's hair
I just want long hair that isn't boring & has a bangs

Yet another hairstyle that I have no interest in using, then.
As for the outfit, I'm not interested in that either. The last male NPC outfit I really liked has to be Thancred's HW outfit. It came with a cool hairstyle and the outfit itself looked decent. I was eager to get my hands on Hien's outfit, but not only did it lack his hairstyle the textures are incredibly low res to the point of it being jarring. (Strange that the female outfits seem to be crafted with more care, eh?)
I wish they'd just create a long, feminine hairstyle and a short, masculine hairstyle each patch and make them available to both genders. That'd appease a great number of people, I believe. -

I’m really excited for Ryne’s outfit!!! I hope they release it sooner in the cycle than later!
I could go on and on about the hair not being for viera (really? THREE in one patch for everyone else and you couldn’t make ONE for us?) but I’ll spare this thread. A positive takeaway is that they seem to have listened - people have been asking for more updos instead of just spiked short cuts and this is definitely an updo. People (largely) don’t like genderlocks, and this is not genderlocked.
So maybe a step in the right direction? Especially with the hairstyle contest being complete (as in all of the runner up styles have been made in game), they are now free to get more creative and take the feedback they’ve been given in the last few years since the contest into consideration. -

I think the hairstyle is pretty cute, a bit anime, but cute.
But at least it's a different silhouette from yet another side swept feathery boy cut. -

More options are always nice, so I'm glad to see this! But I'm also admittedly (and selfishly) a little disappointed that we're getting Ryne's outfit for ShB before we get Lyse's outfit from Stormblood.
Ryne's outfit just doesn't match my character's aesthetic, whereas Lyse's does (and would be perfect for DNC glam)... -
04-15-2021, 02:01 AMwereotter9S's hair (at least for me) borders on long for men. And let's not forget that this is the first time they've actually done this since, I want to say Heavesnward?Quote:

Glad this isn't yet another unisex one
Nice one for females. Too bad for those who wanted new male hairstyles. -

Bright idea to leak upcoming content on official forum. I'm almost certain devs did not announce it yet, it just got ripped from game files.
-
04-15-2021, 02:11 AMTheodricTechnically, yeah - but the 9S hairstyle is very similar to the hairstyle used by the Warrior of Darkness in promotional footage for Shadowbringers. The main difference is at the back rather than the front.Quote:

Love the hairstyle!

04-15-2021, 02:16 AMAllegorAgreed. I don't really want to open Pandora's box and know technically hair has no gender, but "we're making a cute hairstyle for all you lovely female characters!...oh and males can use it too I guess" is hardly unisex imo.Quote:

Looks great on females. LMAO at this hair on males.

There aren't even any short, masculine styles that I can really think. Actually, I don't think there is even a proper buzzed cut, and stubble is the hardest thing for them to add to the game, apparently. Also, the male faces generally suck, but that's besides the point.Quote:

Yep! It's all medium length, unisex styles. They either do unisex styles, or obviously female styles. They don't make any actual short hair, the kind that would look good on males, or at least more good western styles.Quote:

Overall, I'd say they've been even in regading catering to one side or the other, and the added bonus of every style ever since ShB not being genderlocked.
My issue tho, is that a lof of these hairstyles are just too similar. They follow somewhat of a formula, and sans for a few examples, go out for different shapes and styles. -

IT'S ANOTHER BRAID DUDE!
-
04-15-2021, 07:38 AMAllegorTbh I'd say those are the ones that are truly unisex, since they look good on either men or women, but some hairstyles, like this ponytail, are clearly made with female characters in mind, and males as an afterthought (if even).Quote:

To be fair female characters look really good in the super short cuts like that one as well, depending on who you ask. I agree with needing more masculine hair but I also agree that a lot of the ones we have gotten are technically male hair styles since they were inspired by or ripped off of male characters. Alphinaud’s hair, legendary locks (? I think thats’s the name), 9S, and windcaller are all from male characters. The weird asymmetrical messy one from Ishgard was from the contest, which used a male character as the model, so I have to think it was intended to lean more masculine than feminine.
I am curious, genuinely, what kind of short and masculine styles people would like to see that aren’t already in the game. Something simple like a buzz cut across all races? Or that style that is shorter on the sides that gets longer and more styled at the top? -
04-15-2021, 08:49 AMwereotterI feel very called out by this ;)Quote:

It’d be nice to see them add more gender specific and racially specific styles to cc at launch for expansions that don’t have a new race or races taking up the majority of the character design team’s resources. That way they don’t have to think about whether they’ll work for everybody (specifically thinking about animal ear races) and more about unique styles that also fill in the gaps that cc is missing. Kinda like how WoW did for Shadowlands- adding a few new styles/colors/horns/whatever per race to give players more variety. Then again, XIV is beholden to a much stricter schedule, so it may not be possible.Quote:

I love the hair. I'm tired of watching the gap between pre-ShB and ShB races get wider :(
But I love Ryne's outfit too so I am looking forward to getting my hands on it.
