So.... About Prishe's Hairstyle(s) and Outfit(s)

I kinda want both her hairstyles. I really want her boss fight version, though obviously modified to a shorter length for playable characters and I just want her usual hairstyle because I'm a big fan of Prishe ever since playing Dissida Final Fantasy and would make another character or retainer with her look.

It'd also would be cool to get both her regular and boss outfits as glamour, too! I really want to get my hands on her gloves because I like how outrageous and poofy they are with the large spiked knuckles at the ends. xD

Yes please, I would love to be able to wear her cute hair pin and her hair :3


They should also either allow Elezen to be as short as her or create a smaller race of elfs kinda like how Miqo'te and Hrothgar are feline based but unique in their own ways.

That would be awesome!!! We do need another short race to complement the Lalafell , so there's always a potential possibility.

Yes

Also give us a Nullifying Dropkick emote. :D

Oooh, that would be very nice and a fun emote for Monk players! :D

I hope y'all get what you want, but for the influx of players who came in on the COVID wave, it's telling that the positives we're hearing about constantly reference "Prishe" and "Beatrix." Characters we have never heard of and who we have zero interest in.

Meanwhile, the player count drops.

Nostalgia can be a powerful driver of engagement, but for players who possess none, the net result is simply a less coherent, less interesting story.

Edit: Here's an analogy. Suppose you gave a writing room the plot outline for Cinderella. Then you added notes requiring the presence of three bears, a gingerbread cottage, some magic beans and a giant, and three little pigs with different house-building philosophies. How would that work out?

"We"? You don't get to speak for everyone, and it also doesn't seem like Prishe is what's causing the population to drop. On the contrary, the only things I've heard from folks about the FFXI Alliance raid have been positive overall. If anything, I've been seeing questions/interest pop up about FFXI lore and story thanks to the alliance.

This also isn't anything new. We got FF Tactics gear and two character hairstyles with the Ivalice raids and that was back in Stormblood. I've never played any of the Tactics games, but I still enjoyed the experience.

The "we" is referring to those of us who recognize how the FFXIV story is being weakened.

There's likely some overlap between that "we" and the "we" that is thoroughly unimpressed with yet another child squeaking in that miserable Mockney accent. I've no doubt this sparks interest in XI. Great. I'm worried about XIV. Making it an advertisement for other SQEX products does nothing for me.

As I stated, I think it would be fabulous if you get your hairstyles. Everyone has priorities. But we (in the global sense) can have cute hair without compromising the XIV story.

FWIW I thought Ivalice was quite good in the way it enhanced XIV. The Nier raids on the other hand were a narrative disaster.

The team that works on glams is separate from the actual main development team, so them working on and releasing glams has no impact on the actual main development of the game. If anything, the glam team is the one that has been consistent unlike the main development team dropping the ball in 7.0 and 7.1.

Nostalgia's been slathered into this game since ARR, I don't see how suddenly now it's a problem. Where was this critique when we had Omega raids chock full of FF6 references, many of which were probably lost on people who never played FF6? All the FF4 content from Endwalker, the the FF3 stuff from Crystal Tower, so many characters and/or their names, locations, borrowed lore, there's tons of stuff that's not specifically from FFXIV that has made its home in the game and that's just how it operates. I do agree the Nier raids were very much shoehorned in there, but there were a ton of people playing it when it came out, and people liked the fights, the glams and the visuals. This game has always been a magnet for various cross-promotional content that it's practically part of the game's foundation to constantly nostalgia bomb the player. I saw something earlier where someone was even asking for FFXV content to make its way into the game, lol. FF fans just really love any excuse for more FF in their mmo, whether that's a good thing or not. If you don't like nostalgia/advertisements, you might be playing the wrong game?

I totally think criticism regarding the quality of the main story and the increasing recycling/homogenization/repetitiveness of content (which is likely what's actually causing the player count drop) is totally valid, but I honestly think you're aiming at a target that is not the real cause for the population dropoffs.

Yes, I understand that. The point I'm speaking to is that the insistent on shoe-horning irrelevant characters into the game harms the narrative. Hence three bears, magic beans, and so forth.

Quite possible, I'm merely sharing my opinion. I'd also suggest the callbacks were less intrusive when the story was actually compelling.

The game is considered a love letter to the entire Final Fantasy Franchise while still doing it's own thing. It also borrows from other properties, like Tactics Ogre for PotD

Mmm hmm. But love is like a butterfly. At some point you either let it fly away, or hold it captured and watch it slowly die.

Team Prishe! FFXI is my one and only true MMO love. There are lots of glams and hairstyles I would love to see in the game. Hopefully they are a part of the upcoming alliance raid fights. I really wasn't expecting Ark Angels to be the theme for gear on fight 1 so hopefully they choose something a bit more beloved this time.

i dont see how mediocre story telling and bad management desicions are connected to someone wanting hairstyles from a character thats already in the game.


more hairstyles are always nice (especially if they are for everybody)

When I started playing, the first race I considered was elezen, because I wanted to play an elf, but I settled for miqo'te because I wanted a shorter character. Imagine how offended I was when some of the first characters I saw in the opening cutscene were clearly members of a second, shorter elf-like race that's unavailable to players for reasons unknown. It took me a comically long time to realize that the twins are just young elezen.

I don't think I would use it, but, yes please! I know Sena Bryer also really wants Prishe's hairstyle as well.

Also let MNK use Nullifying Dropkick!

I love Prishe and FFXI I am unsure I would use it but it would be nice to have more FFXI outfits and glams in the game. I wish we could have Arciela's hair and also Nashmeira they are so pretty.

I wish FFXI would just do a massive overhaul graphically and a easier interface and maybe console play. I left 15 years ago to come and play the closed alpha here but I do pop in FFXI now and then and to me it still is the greatest MMO I ever played.

There are so many outfits and hairstyles they can add I hope we see more in the next part of the XI raids.

No objection to it being added, but I don't understand what Prishe's hat-hairpin-thingie is supposed to be.

omg same. My main on FFXIV is named after Arciela, I love her to pieces and still mourn the closing of Dissidia: Opera Omnia because Arciela, Lilisette, Prishe, Iroha, and Nashmeira were all playable characters. I love the trust system in FFXI allowing me to party with my favs.

If anyone ever wants to play FFXI together, let me know. The only thing keeping me subbed right now is me wanting to see where the FFXI raid goes, after that I might just be done with FFXIV and their viera/hroth disrespect.

I would like that as an option too… really hope they’re serious about adding more options to the character creator, and that it’s done sooner rather than later!

I would also like to have prishe outfit and hair. I hope they also bring Lilisette and Arciela into the raids story for their outfits and hairstyles also.

Nashmeira's hair and glam would be great additions, it would go so well with DNC.

Me too, the character creator needs a massive overhaul and let us use all features from all the different faces and such at the same time too.

They're giving her boots as a glamour item in FFXI.

They gave out the Ark Angel gear this way too.

We already have the smaller Elezens - they are kids.

Prishe's body is that of a 12 year old, even though she's closer to 40 years old. (She got stuck like a Padjal due to a crystal accident. ooops, accidental immortal....)

I'd love to have her hair and outfit one day though!

Agree 100% Prishe and Hydaelyn’s hairstyles as well as Bio Sphenes hair I like the flatter look of the style she had compared to endless Sphenes

I love to have more long masculine hair or different masculine hairstyles. 90% of males hairstyles look to similiar, gives me the feeling that SE dont care about good hair for men.

Jecht
Barret
Wakka
Amarant Coral
Edemont de Fortemps
Vincent Valentine
Emet-Selch (Past and Present)

The list can go on forever with how many good male hairstyles throughout the Final Fantasy series there are.

We also need a slot for facial hair customization, too.

Hopefully sometime after the devs are finally completely finished with the graphical update they get around to updating the character creator to add something like that.
