6.35 hairstyle

This is proving sufficiently controversial that it needs its own thread rather than half-taking over others.

The new hairstyle released in 6.35 is a very short crop:

I've seen people saying it is based on the chaos-killing Jack from Stranger of Paradise, but have not confirmed.

I think it's just one of those things that is going to work for some faces and not others, and it's a good thing to have in the game for variety.

I'm guessing some faces can make it work...definitely looks more appropriate for male Hyur (possibly Roe), though.

EDIT: Just reread your post and saw that you said the same thing about faces as I just did. That's what I get for posting before my first coffee in the morning.

Hah, all good.

I think it works well on the female Highlander in the preview pictures, and maybe the Elezen (I don't know what's happened to the quality in that screenshot; it's like that in the patch notes).

Still waiting to get into the game and see what it actually looks like on characters. Probably won't buy it at day 1 Materia marketboard prices.

Probably not a hot take, but I think it only looks good on Hrothgar which means this is an elusive Hrothgar W even if it's not my cup of tea on any other race. I hope the cat dad's like it as much as I do on them. Really suits their proportions and fills a niche that has been sorely lacking: a very short style for every face shape.

I honestly do not think we have too many very cropped hairstyles. We haven't received one as a modern aesthetics in many expansions in favour of medium length and ponytail styles. It's just not super well fitted for the races that aren't Hrothgar in my opinion. Big forehead syndrome all around.

Not a hairstyle I will be trying hard to get. Wish they added a long hairstyle with it.

Nope. All I see is a failed attempt by your significant other to cut your hair when I look at it.

Looks really gorgeous on female highlander in the preview. I think it's a good hairstyle to have as an option, though I assume it will be mostly used for male characters. Though, I think it's nice as a more butch style for females also.

I think its a nice change of pace especially for male characters. There aren't enough masculine options for males vs. Females

So now you too can punch chaos and not give a fuck who they are.

This is the first actual short hairstyle we've got since 4.0, can't wait to see how it looks on my chars.

Yeah I am stoked about a new short hair style to be honest. I admit I might hate it once I try it on my character, but at least its something different.

It's funny. Ironically, I think it looks much better on girls that it does on guys. For girls, it's a great option for a more Butch/Andro look. But for guys, it just makes me think of the crying Brendan Fraiser memes.

There's definitely a lack of complexity on many faces that makes that haircut look weird.

I love it. Can't sign in right now but how do you get it?

We've had years and years of consistently only long or feminine hairstyles.
I can count the number of masculine or short hairstyles on one hand.
Let us have this please.

Yeah, like I sympathize with people who want more long hairstyles, since we're on the same boat, but for everyone who says it's ugly and not worth it, etc, that's how us who wanted short hair have felt for years of getting Karen bobs and braids (and more recently ponytails) one after another, and another, and another.... Take a backseat for once, cutesy brigade, I bet the next one will be a salon hairstyle again.

I might actually change to a fem highlander for a while once I get my hands on this style, looks so rad.

I think its cool tbh
breath of fresh air compared to pony tail number 15 or braided style number 10

I find short hair to be better than long hair, but yeah not every hairstyle is for everyone.

On a fem Highlander, it gives me Joan of Arc vibes, so yeah, I agree it looks good on them. I can definitely see it working for Elezen. Lalafell, too.

I wish they would give us the option to preview additional hairstyles before getting them. Maybe one day. I won't be getting this hair (not for my main, at least), but I'm glad it offers more variety for customization. :o

If it is Jack's haircut then I hope they were also able to port over some of the armor sets from FFO:SoP for later use down the line (7.0 etc). Some of the sets would look amazing on my Roe.

From the picture posted earlier, it looks like the same vibe but not the same actual model.

just like irl, some haircuts look better on some than others.

exactly i prefer short hair myself and i also prefer woman with shorthair more then i do longhair

It's great to get something other than another long hairstyle for waifus of which we already have 8 billion in the game.

Super excited to finally have another masculine hairstyle. I think the last one we had was in Stormblood. Every other short hairstyle since then has a braid or long bangs slapped on it.

"of all the long hairstyles in the game" Yeah. If only we had actual long hairstyles haha.

Ngl it kinda amuses me how people are reacting to the hairstyle. We get mid length cutesy hairstyles all the time and everyone either likes it or just rolls their eyes, now that the shoe's on the other foot everyone acts like it's the worst thing that ever happened - how dare people like stuff that aren't cute /tea

Wish the forehead was a lil smaller but it’s kinda cute on the fem highlander

When I said I wanted short hair I meant i wanted GOOD short hair, not the I just came out the womb cut.

We have no long hairstyles- that's why there is a megathread requesting them. (It also requests male highlander eyebrows & beards.)

We only have medium/ short length hairs- all are just flat hairstyles.

NPCs though get long wavy hair so it's def a middle finger to people who want long hair

Yeh I agree there's too much forehead, more so than normal, at least. Kinda reminds me of that meme of shonen protags getting bad haircuts as adults lol

https://img.ifunny.co/images/df0b035...cc64d78b_1.jpg


But a lot of people hate on it because it's short and/or not cute, the big forehead is just the cherry on top. I'm just happy we got a short hairstyle at all, instead of the 6th ponytail in a row.

I'd say there's actually as many 'actually long' hairstyles as there are 'actually short' ones, which is to say.... about 5 or so, with the overwhelmingly majority being between ear and shoulder length (not counting racial ones)

Looks like a child got a hold of some scissors that cut your hair in your sleep and then you had to get a proper hairstylist to get it fixed but you ended with bare-bones result and says "best I can do".

this is the worst hairstyle ive ever seen irl or game
