Short, Masculine Hairstyles

[KizuyaKatogami]

All i hope for is that while they release more masculine hairstyles for us, they also come out with longer ones that don’t look inherently feminine. I think literally almost every longer option available to us right now had something inherently feminine about it(the long wavy hair with the buns on top come to mind lol).

I think you may have taken it too literally, I saw that pic more as a few examples and variations they could play with, not a Bingo card asking for specifically those to be added, and even then, it's not like we didn't already had like 5 hairstyles that look like 2B's yet having her 'actual' hair made the difference.

If the examples are not showing me the full scope of what's being asked for, then that is a problem of the examples – and it will not be conveying the request properly to anyone official who sees it, either.

And I don't think 2B's hair is relevant to this because it's a specific cosplay design. Of course her actual hairstyle is going to be better than an approximation, and they had to add it to the game for the NPC anyway.

The veritable number of unisex and girly hairstyles released these past two years is borderline ridiculous.

If I see one more ear/shoulder-length hair style I will literally scream lmao! And can we actually have something other than straight anime hair?? Like curls or texture.

But, short men's hairdos please.

Edit: I created a quick moodboard showcasing a sample of styles that could be iterated upon.

I agree that they hairstyles cater mostly to feminine styles. Even the so called "unisex" are really just too feminine. It's so exasperating every time a new hairstyle is released. I don't hope for anything or more these days in this category. I still don't even understand why those who play female character continue to demand long hairstyles that have the physics of a flying surfboard.

Regardless, in my personal opinion I see way too many of those hairstyles irl to even relatively think they belong in a fantasy game, save for the bottom left(which I think is a good mix of fantasy and contemporary), the spikey straight/dred, curl styles.

Fantasy went out the window a long time ago with the motorcycle, car, Nier raid and many other additions to the game. Having modern hairstyles added isn't going to degrade the fantasy feel of this game more than already has been.

I am tired of using this same hairstyle I have been, the-fade-but-not-a-fade hairstyle, on Allison right now, my alt Rupert, on one of Allison's retainers, on both of Rupert's retainers, on 1 of Brandon's retainers (my 2nd alt) and on one of Dario's retainers (my 3rd alt) because that hairstyle is the only short hairstyle that even remotely looks like a fade yet I'm stuck with the god awful braids tacked on to the right side. I would take nearly ANY of the hairstyles in that pic because they're proper fades and proper undercuts but knowing the devs they'll probably add arbitrary braids to it.

For you, maybe. For me, there's a reason why I go play ESO, if at bare minimum to remember that some fantasy worlds understand constraints.
All I mean is that if we get short, masculine styles, then at the very least let them have some hint of final fantasy to them that doesn't look like a guy I'd see walking out of Starbucks.

At this point, I'd be glad even if we get a simple short hair like FFXII Gabranth, FFXII Cid, FFXV Cor, or FFXV Titus.

I must apologise, when I'd added the moodboard edit to the OP, I'd posted a message saying "this is what I'd personally like to see." It's a biased subsample, which wasn't reflected in the OP Edit comment.

Nevertheless, my simple request for short, masculine hair shouldn't have to be bolstered with a reference gallery detailing the entire breadth of possible masculine hairstyles. I'm certain the lead art team are more than capable on that front. I don't feel that onus should lie on me in order for my request to become valid for you or staff.

You get what you ask for. You posted a picture showing what you are asking for. It's as simple as that.

Describing it as a "showcase" certainly indicates to me that it's a broad range of possible ideas on your request, not a narrow one.

Great how this thread got bombed thanks to troll. Ativan get a life, stop lurking in the forums all day like a caveman.

I hate how we only have that one oversized pompadour for a pompadour hairstyle. I'd love it if we could get a normal sized one.



I need this for Josuke and Yakuza cosplay purposes!!!!
