Please unlock all hairstyles for all sexes/races

Furthermore, assuming you only play race X: How much value do the hairstyles or exclusives for race Y generate to you? Typically very little to negative value, because you cannot actually use them. They might as well not exist and you'd be no worse off.

So u want more based on what? The stuff u cant get holding no value? Y is it ok to ask for someone elses stufff just cus u dont value it? I certainly value it, they look amazing. Why cant u?

The current segregation of hairstyles to races/sexes causes all those individual groups to have a samey look. Opening everything up will make everyone less samey.

I disagree with ya. Lots of hairstyles are made to look pretty around certain features of the face and people flock to those. Making the same hairstyles for everyone will make everyone use the "samey" hairstyles all the more.

That is SO great because by opening them up to everyone, you will see it far more often and thus get an even greater enjoyment out of it!

And the people who do not value content they are excluded from are happy too, because they are no longer excluded. I call win-win!

Is their some Eorzean law that says "insert race" can only style their hair in a certain fashion? Doubt it.

No. Its called culture.

Good to hear, so if some wish to abandon their culture it shouldn't matter all that much now would it?

Or is self entitlement of having something unique is what gets in the way?

That's kind of what Fantasia is for. Or the obvious fact that you choose what you prefer when you make your character. People seem to take that lightly, but then believe they apparently care about customization later, like it's something that shouldn't be taken lightly... lol. What you refer to as "self entitlement" is exactly what gets in the way of getting what you want.

It's obvious that some people apparently prioritize customization in this game over all else for their things to complain about, but customization is clearly NOT the focus of this game. The longer it takes for people to realize this isn't some Skyrim clone, or whatever game offers a potential to prioritize visual customization, the more ignorant they become. Potentially heating up over this matter for XIV is not going to help get you what you want.

I daresay it's possible you may never get what you want, just based on what I said, and that's fine here... despite what you may believe. If the devs want there to at least be some aesthetic identities between the races, they can. Coming from an old school mentality, they probably should too.

I said this is a previous topic about this and I'll say it again. I'm really against this because it removes race/gender identity. It's bad enough that each race (minus Lala) were created off the Midlander body design and slightly modified. At least with the hair restrictions, there is some form of identity. It's just as bad when people ask to hide the tails from Miqote/AuRa. If everything looks or has access to the same thing, what's the point in having different genders or races? I rather SE add more to body customization because it's been severely lacking for about 3 years now. We need more diversity in this game. As it is, people want gear to look the same between male and females. That's just a very pointless idea because as mention before, it causes the Dev Team to focus on one particular gender, to create short-cuts. How about more designs that make the races and genders shine, then having them look all the same via copy-and-paste?

You sound like a politician fighting against individual rights.. lol

Nah man. It's just that hair is important. Just ask that Pink haired Elezen guy that does your hair.
