Another year without Rainmaker Hairstyle

[Naenaewa]

Trust me, I get what you're saying & you're appreciated but I'm fully aware anything remotely close to hilda's ponytail, gaia's hair, cids beard, etc will never be released due to small but constant bursts of players asking for them but it's okay that I express my dislike for a hair that to me, looks like trash compared to something that could be better- Yes, I'm 100% frustrated & that's just the nature of it

Well that’s to you. This thread isn’t about adding new hairstyles to the game, it’s about getting the one that should still be around back in. You can be frustrated all you want here but it’s pointless to do it in this thread. It keeps this thread front and center though so it doesn’t hurt to complain to me, but the effort you’re making is misplaced. Personally, I don’t care about the Hilda hair but I don’t ram my nose into the thread about it that popped up days ago cause lil’ ol’ me doesn’t think it’s pretty.

Let's keep making it loud for SE to see we really need this hairstyle!! Everytime I do my weekly deliveries in rhalgar's reach I see the npc using that same rain maker hairstyle I want. Cmon SE, how hard is to give us that after a horrible year we deserve some love ❤

[Naenaewa]

Truthfully yeah, I’m seriously hoping they add it in soon. If they’d be willing to do it even after the event was over it’d be a little consoling lol.

Yeah it’s not like they have to make the hairstyle it’s already in the game it should be easy to put in there. I know there’s a lot of people that want it I wish they would do that for them.

Yeah it’s making me crazy. This is the one thing that I actually want and then I can get back to going with the flow of the game. I only made this forum account so I could talk about Modern Aesthetics - Rainmaker.

We can hope that it comes soon.....

For those who concluded that it wouldn't take any work to make Rainmaker available via online store/mogstation, remember, there isn't actually a section for hair right now on it. So, they would have to get in touch with their web developer(team?) to add a section for it. This could cause a delay in getting the hair available for purchase even if it was already approved. Just something to keep in mind. (For the record, I've been waiting for this hair for 2 years as well, as I'm a huge fan of Sice and she was actually one of my main characters to use in Type-0. ♥)

A good reason to just make it available at the Gold Saucer. Would probably take 5 minutes.

While it would be nice, they consistently have put past event items up on mogstation so it's not unexpected for them to want to do it that way now. On the plus side, if they go through the trouble of making a hair section, it might encourage them to develop more hairs if they think they can get a financial return on the effort.

While I understand wanting to make as much available in game as possible, I certainly am of the crowd who believes it's overall better for them to include more hair styles with monetization vs. just not making more hair styles. If I have to pay a bit for them to be motivated to do it, I am willing to do so. As it was mentioned earlier in this thread, there are hairs I would love to be made available to us that are already in game technically. E.g. Hilda's, Iceheart's, Yotsuyu's, Gaia's, Ryne's, maybe even some of the boss's.

I would prefer if they would stop being afraid of releasing more clip-prone hair and let us, the playerbase, decide if it's worth it or not for us on an individual basis. If they started to normalize adding such hairs via the online store, maybe they would be willing to expand what they tend to offer.

With that said, I don't actually think this would cause them to release less free hairs than they already do, which isn't very many. Clearly, when it comes to in-game rewards, they don't currently believe releasing a large volume of hairstyles is worth the extra time/cost vs. other things. This ties into what I said before, that maybe this would change if financial exchange became a factor. I do feel like this would be a big win for us if that ended up being the case.

Regardless, I've been wanting the Rainmaker hair for a long time now, so I will gladly take any option over having to wait yet another year to maybe have it available next event cycle.
