Racial locked hairs

I wish square enix would just remove race restriction on all the hairs. That way we wouldnt have an issue with little options anymore, since there is actually very many hairs in the game. And many are soooo beautiful. I love many au ra hairs, and hyur hairs, and viera hairs, and eleven hairs. (Lol almost everyone) they all have many good options. If everyone had access to all the hairs in the game there would be much more diversity, and many would be very happy. Including me. I wish i could use huyr or au ra hairs on my miqote.
Another cool thing would be to remove gender restrictions too. Many female hairs have Short hairs that would actually look quite good on a male character, and vise versa. (With long male hairs on females) also many long hairs look good on males and Short hairs on females. This just gives people more chances to be unique and also again more diversity.

I really really really hope this can happen. There is no lore reason or good reson why hairs are gender and race restricted. Because everyone can literally have their hair however they want. If someone wants to come and say certain hairs are a part of a races «culture» or whatever then what if you are a different race that is inspired by that culture or Even have a roleplaying reason to have that hair? Like parents were that race or something. And also if we wanna Get Even more straight to the point its just a game and everyone should be able to wear what they want and look like they want if it makes them happy.

Feel free to share your thoughts and give your support if you feel the same as me.

I cant figure out how to edit the post, i ment elezen not eleven.

Yes please. Everything Lalafell has are hairstyles for Kindergarteners and all these androgyn hairstyle everyone got.

You can have my hairs when I can have hats. Fair's fair.

Not a fan of the idea, since it adds identity to a race.

But I would rather form my own identity within my race instead of being forced into a pre-defined mold.

I totally agree. More racial styles would be nice.

I think having a half-dozen or so hairstyles unique to each race is fine. Give them a bit of their own style.

Hairstyles added ig are here for that ! ;)

You guys want race specific hairstyles while we fight for our right to grow eyebrows. XD

Would only support this if they hired an outside contractor to work on this. I would rather have new hairstyles; look at how long it's taken them to port hairstyles to viera/hrothgar, almost 3 years and they're sitll not finished.

What I would love to have is more long, silky hairstyles, similarly to Xianxia/Wuxia genre

You can have the viera race hairstyles when we can use all the AF headgear for a single expansion and when viera get all the multi-racial hairstyles, we're still missing a lot.

Good idea. Unisex-fy them while you're at it, devs, I know you can do it.

It would be nice if the hairstyles already ported over were actually done better.

Miqo'te and Viera have a bunch of "universal" styles or ones picked from Hyur or even Lalafell but the ported hairstyles all have awkward gaps where normal ears should go while their animal ears just clip through the pattern of the hair.

It's enough to make me never commit to playing Viera whenever I fantasia despite FFXII being my favorite in the series and FFTA being my first ever FF. That and the way glasses float a few inches in front of their face...


I do want that Au Ra hime cut though. I can understand why most Au Ra unique styles are indeed unique. Horns, specific styles complementing Au Ra aesthetic etc., but that one in particular is the closest we have to Yotsuyu and it's an Au Ra exclusive.

Hime cut superiority belongs to Au Ra

You can ask for universal/ no racial locked hairs but they won't be ported properly- look at the ported hairs to Viera and Miqo for an example.
Miqo'te already suffered from the same issues with how awkward several of the ported hairs looked- since there's often a space on the sides of hairs meant for non-animal ears.

The continued lack of quality will continue to grow because people will accept mediocre so long as they get a share and not enough people are making a fuss about it- like removing racial features with hats and certain armors- hats are starting to remove miqo'te ears and there's an armor that removes their tails. I've seen a small handful of some people rejoice in this, but why wear a ballcap that literally erases Miqo ears? It looks bad.
Mogstation items that have a headpiece Viera can't wear should have a discount. Or better yet, The common sense thing to do: Start designing all headgear with Viera in mind and go from there; SE.
Why can't the design team just get it right? Billion dollar company with indie company budget towards XIV character designs.
I know there's a graphic update coming, but it's NOT a character creation update.

Make hats have ear holes in them for miqo'te & Viera- Or make headpieces that mostly cover the head have preset hairstyles that takes on our characters hair if hats on certain races is such an issue.

I really want some hairtsyles from other races like Hyurs and Au ras but, my problem is that the game doesnt have good hairtstyles in general because as i see in the design contest, they create a new hairstyle based on hyur head shape and dont proper adapt to the other races head shape and the result is some aberrations that every other race without ears and different headshape have.

And for the love of god, bring more long hairstyles, they don`t care about tails and aura horns clipping through everything but dont give us long hairstyles.

I think its enough "identity to the race" that they look different, no? like bunny ears on viera and whatever xD Hairs should be for everyone, since again, anyone can have their hair like they want irl. Its just unrealistic to have restrictions on them.
