I do worry that people have put too much stock in Yoshi P's statements about custom hair and future customizations.

Do you know what he has also said in the past? That they wouldn't require players to remain subbed in order to retain their house. We all know how that went.

Point being, statements get made and maybe it's what they envision for the game at that time, but then things change due to <insert limitation of your choice>. Instead of unique options as previously stated, Viera were given 4 random hairstyles. This very well could be SE changing course like they did with housing.

Best keep those expectations well-tempered.
