Ugh, why did you link those hairs...lol. Thanks for reminding me why I hate Sega.. v.v;

Also it's sad a free to play (and free to download) has better hair options than a sub game. v.v

The afro did they do any research?

I can at least say this women do not and not all men wore afros with mutton chops at all. this is easy to find info from any google search and pictures of my own family lmao.
Also afros are not always that huge or that god awful texture.
I didn't have hope at all for afro in game even though I liked Sazh Katzroy afro in ff13.
I understand that a lot can be lost in translation with little to no contact with black people.

I don't understand your point, the texturing on the afro is awful but there are a variety of 'fro styles and they went with this one. You talk like they went with a choice that was "wrong" so to speak, but it's quite obvious they were going for the classical and most well-known cartoony Afro style. I'd prefer they didn't spend development resources into 3+ different afros to meet all of your needs, as it's quite the niche hairstyle and will only be worn by a few after the initial hype died out. I do agree that they should offer an option without the sideburns.

Afros have been one of the most requested hairstyles among the community, they just listend to what people asked for what. What happens when they don't do that? "This hairstyle is identical to this one, bad SE!" even though it's not similar. You can never please everyone.

That being said, they really messed up the afro here.

Most requested because it would be a funny hairstyle to see people in, not because it's seriously what a lot of people want to have on frequently, long term. Novelty reasons :\

I don't think the reasoning matters, just that it was a suggested thing and SE thought "Why not?" as it seems like a fairly thing to implement. An easy way to please the player base while listening to their feedback, but they messed that up by creating the ugliest 'fro texture I have laid my eyes on. Still, people who have been craving an afro will use this, ugly texture or not. It doesn't really matter in the end, how many people would really use a short hairstyle on a female character? You'd see them around, sure, but not to the extent of every other hairstyle out there. The same goes for the afro, not to mention that the afro is technically a "bonus" hairstyle since we're getting the usuals and the winners from the competition.

@Colorful I understand what you are trying to say but going for a cartoony afro was mistake they could have gone with more realistic afro. Its not like SE hasn't done it in the past Sazh afro was awesome. So yeah I'm disappointed because it just the worse afro they could have picked.

The one on the miqote male looks pretty cool.

Afros are hella dumb though.
