    There must be a technical reason for it. It makes no sense otherwise. It can't just be that it's hard to physically adapt the hair, can it?

    They don't like to talk about their technical limitations, but I would love to hear an honest explanation of what the issue is.

    Anything from "limitations", "resources", or "patch schedule". Could probably play some bingo for whichever one, on actually anything (not) in the game.

    That's why I said "honest explanation". Though I do think those explanations are probably genuine too - they just, as I said, don't like to go into the details that would make people understand why they're making those weird choices.

    Occasionally they do - somewhere I've saved a link where one of the programmers was explaining why it is hard to add more inventory due to poor decisions in the rush of getting 1.0 rebuilt into ARR that can't be easily fixed. Combined with other things I see or can guess about how the game works (eg. the glamour dresser is clearly designed to work around the original prism system without disturbing it) it seems they do a lot of adding on, building over and tangling with a core of difficult old code that they can't alter without rebuilding the whole system - and their budget and/or schedule doesn't allow for that.

    Well I like how my main looks (who also coincidentally looks like my mom too lol), but more hair would be nice because there's only 3 I actually like out of all the default ones.

    I think it actually can for Viera, it is Hrothgar that is the problem, as their hair is tied to the face. Maybe this is their reasoning.

    I don’t see how it could be a technical limitation—at least with Viera—when they promised before Shadowbringers launched that they would be adding in new hairstyles and maybe porting some of the legacy hairstyles onto the race. Unless they were just saying empty words.

    Oh no, I bet they will, but it will either be a decent handful at once, or a few at a time. Either way, I don't think we will see either for a very long time. "Patch schedule" or some other reason for sure.

    That's good then. Not handing them extra money, you already paid for the fantasias, so at least there's that.
