New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

That doesn't tell us there was a last-minute change from requiring a Fantasia for hairstyle changes, only that there was a last-minute change to the text of the patch notes. It's more likely that they simply forgot (or didn't think it necessary) to specifically mention the aesthetician separate from editing with Fantasia.

Except the Japanese information related to the hairstyles indicated it would've required a fantasia, as I have stated. Repeatedly. I've also stated that the JP community was concerned about this as well and were just as confused by the complete and utter lack of information.


Additionally, Yoshi-P specifically mentioned these forums and told people to voice their displeasure/dissatisfaction over it which to me seems to indicate that this was going to be a cash grab and that they need evidence to prove that the community was against this.

I have missed your previous statement in the length of this thread, then, but in any case I don't see why they can't have just made the same omission of detail from the Japanese information. I don't think it would have ever made sense for them to redesign the system and still keep the Fantasia requirement, which was a side effect of attaching the hair to another category (faces) that is Fantasia-only for all races equally.
