Can we get some longer hairstyles please?

My character's pony tail clips straight through the middle of her torso whenever she looks up. As in, I can see the ends of it sticking through her belly. If clipping is their excuse, they failed miserably.

The problem with long hair is that it clips horribly with 80% of the gear out there.
It's love for them to fix that first, before implementing more.

Yeah, long hair is what I usually end up using, unless I want a specific glam. Generally, I wear outfits without hoods, or something causing clipping issues because of the hair. This is probably the reason they don't make more. I would like to see more though anyway, I can adjust my outfits like I already have. The au ra hair I use primarily clips with a lot of things.

YEEEEEEES for more long hairstyles. I neeeeeed it <3

It's less about the clipping and more about how trying to render long hair properly would just KILL frame rates, especially on low end systems like PS4. Imagine 20+ people with long hair around you, the system trying to render every one of them sort of properly, yeah, slide show.

Not to mention that there is NO way very long hair would ever flow properly using that engine, it would look incredibly stiff and lifeless.

Middle lengths and decent ponytails are probably the best we're ever going to get, just hope for more of those.

Only if we can get the cross-race hairstyles on Viera and Hrothgar (when possible) first.

especially on low end systems like PS4.

Haven't played Horizon: Zero Dawn at 4k yet, I guess?

Tell me about it. 90% of the weapons and earrings clip into my braids >.<

There is also the ivalice pony tail that is long

Ivalice's haircut is a short haircut with pony tail, it's really short from front side.

While i agree with most of your point im going to say this. The whole “low end systems” is flat wrong.

Its not the ps4 thats the problem and people need to stop spreading that misinformation. The dev team and Yoshida himself has come out and said it plainly that the reason we will not get another graphical update is because many of the player base is on lower end desktops and laptops and if they upped the graphics again they would likely lose a huge portion of their player base that played on those systems. Nothing to do with ps4.

So its the fact that the majority of the player base across the world plays on older more dated computers than ps4 players.

Compare PS4 hardware specs to FFXIV's minimum PC requirements and consider who's really holding the game back.

I would love more long hairstyles added to the game. The clipping and physics are a bit unfortunate. I recall finally getting that one from Palace of the Dead (forget what it's called) and trying it out. It looked like I had a plank attached to the back of my head as it swung side to side when I ran.

That said, I still prefer this to nothing.
