I really like most of the hairstyles that show the forehead but they really need to work on our character models foreheads- even catgirls with some of the hairstyles have huge foreheads. is this a thing in japanese culture? (genuinely curious) or have they just not cared enough to portion the hair to the heads properly. Viera have it so bad male and female.

...as someone with a very large forehead irl I never noticed the Viera has having anything wrong and in fact I dislike quite a few hairs in game - several of the racial specific FemRoe hairs which makes me extra sad- for having what looked to me an unreasonably low and ugly hairline. But I want more styles without fringe/bangs or more options to have the style with them removed.

I also have a big forehead, and in a fantasy game I play to have a normal or cute forehead. I've dealt with jokes and rude comments my whole life because of it. Not sure why people would want that in a videogame.

Hairstyles & Facial Hair Requests: A Megathread

As you all know, many hairstyles are short, anime protagonist & practically clones of one another.
The character customization itself is abit outdated & needs some additions- This thread is solely for Hairstyles & Facial hair you want ingame or accessible to the playerbase that we do not currently have.
I myself, want to see longer hairstyles, NPC hairstyles, hairstyles that have braids with a purpose (Like a halo braid) & more medieval/ renaissance female hairstyles, wavy & curly hair as well more male oriented hairstyles.

Another feature that should be implemented for character creation is Stubble & full beards & facial hair variety. Cid & Meteor/ WoL from the cinematics shouldn't be the only ones who get decent facial hair in all of Eorzea.

For those worried about 'clipping'
I don't see clipping as a massive issue for long hairs, as everything clips to some degree. It's not about bulky armors, since most people wear slimming outfits & it's not about clipping weapons since we can hide them & there are plenty of weapon designs to accommodate players to some degree.

1. Please keep the topic focused around Hairstyles & Beards since this is what the thread is for!
   
   
2. If you want NPC Hairstyles, Racial Variety Hairstyles or Hairstyles not ingame but you would want to see- please post your requests here!
   
   
3. This thread is not limited to the pre ShB Races, please also include Viera & Hrothgar whether you want them to have shared styles with pre ShB races or entirely different styles unique to them, I encourage you post your examples so others can have a better idea!
   
   
4. Try to limit the picture spam so it doesn't flood the page & drown out others comment, just be considerate! (If you have alot of examples to show, limit the pictures to just 3-4 images per post depending on the size of the image. TL;DR post as many times as you want, just limit the amount of images per post please!
   
   
5. Post all of your hairstyle, eyebrow & Beard requests woes here! Megathreads supposedly get more attention
   

NPC hairstyles I'd pay for or want added event wise ingame
I want to see:
Hilda's Ponytail & Hythlodaeus Side braid
Gaia's Hairstyle & Yugiri's hairstyle
Emet-Selch's hairstyle
Y'shtola hair for Viera

Hilda's ponytail is constantly requested & I'm one of the ones who looks forward to it being implemented one day (hopefully)
As well as more Viera inspired hairstyles for Viera

Still really hoping for Hilda's hairstyle. This is the best ponytail in the game, I need it!

They are so lovely. I prefer the hair with no fringe/bangs. I have long hair with no fringe in rl so maybe that's why I prefer it. It would be good if they added Hilda's but I am starting to feel it will never get here.

I know they are adding Alisaie's hair but to be honest I am thinking why? It is just the same as Alphinaud's but red ribbon and opposite. I am hoping they read this and can start to take note of what people are asking for.

Yeah I thought it was weird they're adding alisaie's hair too. It's literally the same T_T what's the point?? Give us Hilda's ponytail please!

I feel like we have been shouting about Hildas hairstyle or similar for years now, and I would really like to know why we cant get hers? I have seen the m*ds and they look amazing on all female races...I just dont see why?
