Another year without Rainmaker Hairstyle

[Stormfur]

It is strange that they wouldn't include another way to get it when virtually every other reward is like that:

- Nobody queueing for Heavensward primals? You can pick up those lanner whistles from the moogles for tomestones by doing other events.
- Missed out on GARO? You can get the rewards from the sauces (albeit undyeable)
- Everything else has been chucked up there on Mog Station

I want to think that in the midst of the pandemic + everything, they simply forgot or didn't think there was such a demand OR perhaps they'll include it in some other thing like the next iteration of Bozja. I can't imagine there's any other reason why they wouldn't release it. In any case, I hope those who want it can get it and rock the look

I'm pretty sure the gold saucer Garo rewards were removed as well. That was a limited (though long) time thing because of a licensing agreement with whoever owns Garo.

The rainmaker hair is a weird thing though. It's not from another IP, yet they refuse to either add it back into future events or put it on the shop. It's really rare of them not to do either with seasonal event rewards.

Yeah both Garo NPCs were removed in 5.1.

I'm wondering if there is some legal issue with Rainmaker, and SE's lawyers are telling them to be quiet about it. Like sombody decided it was theirs, is trying to sue, and everything is proceeding as at a snail's pace. Of course that would probably mean they would have to change M'naago.

Literally I said this same thing. It's like...just chocobo ass feathers.

Should be more common then. Ponytails are popular in our world where horses are the dominant riding animal.

M'naago is also the only custom delivery NPC that can't have her appearance altered, so you might be on to something.

Maybe the artist who designed her is having issues.

I suspect M'naago's inability to be glamoured is because she's more of a major character and might still be used for actual plot in the future, so it would be more jarring to have her turning up in cutscenes wearing whatever bizarre thing the player put her in - if they can even do that with other instances of the NPC.

It also just doesn't seem in-character for her in the same way. The others have at least some reason to want to try different outfits, but it wouldn't make sense for Naago in the same way. She's wearing practical clothes for her work.

This. As a few of us have speculated in the lore section of this forum, Ala Mhigo is a prime candidate for 6.0's reconstruction effort because that kind of content has proven to be popular and the playerbase never got Ala Mhigo as proper city. If this does come to pass, Naago probably be an important player in that kind of content.
