New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[Midareyukki]

Almost Everyone asked for existing hairstyles to be added, not new/ unique hairstyles.
But this is just further proof (for me) that the XIV dev team doesn't take western forums into consideration.
You all should know that asking for existing hairstyles to be added to Hroth/ Viera is a monkeys paw
Maybe ask for NEW hairstyles like so many of us have been trying to convince the majority to do

We shouldn't be asking to begin with. Let that sink in.

And then what? We ask for new stuff... But then what? Expect the quality to be any better? Given the little we've had given to Hrothgars, there isn't much trust going around.

Heck, we do have new hairstyles, just look at Zlatan. His ears aren't covered. And I don't even think any Hrothgar player asked for these save the Pulse headgear. I remember Hrothgars asking for the Wind Caller hair. Most Hrothgar players actually did temper their expectations. We know our facial structure doesn't lend itself well to a few options, which is why they've set their eyes on Pulse and Wind Caller to begin with. Yoshida himself said that not every hairstyle fits Hrothgars, so we'd get something different. So why force these onto us?

Besides, you say all that. But one thing you're not thinking of is that eventually Square will implement new hairstyles like the 2B and 9S in the future. Most races will be able to use them, with no guarantee for Hrothgars or Vieras. And then what? Do those not count as "new"?

My post was a jab at how we've been treated on the matter- we absolutely should not be asking- it should be common sense & we didn't get what we had hoped for.
But people feel we have to ask or else we will never see it.

People have asked for x things, since HW was released and we've not seen it at all, even with many requests.
But asking for things is a monkeys paw, that wasn't a joke. You either get something or nothing at all.
This isn't anything new from the XIV team and Hroth/ Viera not being finished when they were released was an obvious indication of that

Sidenote: Even in Hairstyle threads rando people often derail the entire thing with memes and hate against anything they don't agree with, like if someone asks for long hairstyles and don't care about clipping you have 10 people saying no to opinions and ideas. Megathreads are sometimes seen by devs but even if it has 12k views but only 113 posts so it will never get anywhere.
if someone just took a minute to type +1 to new hairstyles in hair megathreads or an image of something they like rather than complain about other players' tastes it might have a chance to be seen by the person who could make new hairs.

I agree with you- we shouldn't have to ASK for aesthetics and this type of content, it should be a given- but unfortunately, the repeat hairstyles, adolescent pigtails- and main hero mullets are what we are supposed to be okay with for 10+ years I guess.
