    I would love more race exclusive hair styles.

    it's not about the cultural identity but the visual one, like emotes and stuff. Also race exclusive means that the devs can actually spend the time to make the haircuts truly fit each race, instead of all the new unisex stuff that often only really looks good on 1-2 of the races/sexes.

    The basic models are already so distinct that hair really can't add or take away from that. They have separate emotes and body shapes, so even if they're fully covered in armor and have overlap in heights, it's obvious what you're looking at.

    Also, I'm well aware that hairstyles have to be fitted to each model and that takes time, but that's a completely separate issue from the one you originally chained your position to and the one I was addressing.

    My au ra looks like an au ra because he has the bodyshape of a coke bottle, runs like he's an action movie, and has horns that look incredibly impractical in day to day life. Giving others the option to use his ponytail would hardly invalidate any of the above identity.

    Yes spend time on all those exclusive race hairs/emote they've been adding lat.. oh no they haven't, they don't add any new exclusive to race stuff after it's completed development put into the game.

    You would have a point if the simplest of haircuts were not race exclusive like shaved head is male lalafell and female elezen exclusive.

    I agree.
    Races are already such a carbon copy of each other, I'd like to see more racial specifics rather than homogenization.

    Yeah I can hardly tell the difference between a miqo and a roe. :v

    I felt bad just making this just a sarcasm post. Really I think there's room for both parties to be happy, there should be more racial specifics but maybe not so much in the hair, especially when there's such general hairstyles lock behind races. So many of them feel locked arbitrarily just for the sake of having locked hairstyles instead of actually being race specific. The best example of hairs that take their racial element a little seriously would be the Fem roe's unique hairs because it makes use of altered hairlines to add to the femroes features. Even then there's two shorter ones would looks perfectly fine on any other race as well.

    More tattoos and facial features (Scars, accessories etc) should be added and be unique to each race, but hair needs to be pretty specially designed to be for a specific race or else you just have Au Ra having straightbangs/hime cut while other races have to settle for an altered style or not having it at all.
