And 9S's style as well.
    The one free hairstyle is the one new male hairstyle we've had this expansion. The 9S hairstyle is nearly identical to another we already had. The hairstyle content hair, I hate to say, are all feminine. No male styles came from it. At least, though, we've finally made it through all those winners and hopefully we can get something other than a pony tail with some kind of braids.

    As I said, there's the Wind Caller style (Lyon's hair) from Bozja which is definitely masculine despite being long. So is Misija's hair - it doesn't even look androgynous to me. It is distinctly a male character's hairstyle even if it's more "anime protagonist" than "manly man".

    As I said, it's partly your perception of what counts as a "male hairstyle". Yours is evidently not mine, and mine seems closer to whoever is making the decisions.

    I agree there's an imbalance but it's not all-versus-nothing.

    Warrior of Light haircut I think I thought was part of last expansion, so that's a fair callout. However if we're counting Lyon's hair... I didn't get it myself so I didn't realize it was obtainable, but even then, based off his character model, it's another copy-paste of King's/Gladio's hairstyles we already had + bandanna. I know there's a lot more limits on what can be done with masculine hairstyles, but there's still a lot more that could be made but aren't.
