We have no long hairstyles

We've had years and years of consistently only long or feminine hairstyles.
I can count the number of masculine or short hairstyles on one hand.
Let us have this please.

I was going write a pissy post about the hairstyle, but I know it in me bones that you're right. Males are vastly under represented in this regard. Still though..... "gahhhhhh!"

Enjoy your new cut

Oh finally they released a hairstyle that is for males.
Lets see... it looks like that just f*** my s*** up meme.
Welp maybe next time.

We have no long hairstyles- that's why there is a megathread requesting them. (It also requests male highlander eyebrows & beards.)

We only have medium/ short length hairs- all are just flat hairstyles.

NPCs though get long wavy hair so it's def a middle finger to people who want long hair

we have long hair styles
we just don't get excessively long hair styles like Ysale

"of all the long hairstyles in the game" Yeah. If only we had actual long hairstyles haha.

Right? I'm wondering if we're even playing the same game as some of the commenters in this thread.
We haven't had a new long hairstyle in ages. Lately, at best it'll be shoulder length and even then it'll have some nasty caveat like a fivehead or awful bangs or a gross overall shape or a paywall. I'm not trying to treat this like an either/or thing, though. For a game that rakes in money like XIV, it should be possible to just... have hairstyles coming in that appease more than 1 demographic at a time. Instead the people who want waist-length hair have been sad for years. The people who want really short styles have also been disappointed. And the only ones happy have been whoever's into these half assed ponytails and shoulder length haircuts.

This one we just got looks like a barber had a bad day. I'm surprised people are happy with it, but it really shows how subjectivity in art works.

The only long hairstyles I recall are what the NPC's wear- they also have wavy hair

Viera have a medium length hair, great lengths is a medium hair- so two medium hairstyles
Lyse's hair is longish, so there is that- otherwise there aren't much- there are more short hairstyles than there are medium or long


So, we need long hairstyles

[Denishia]

Just because it's not my taste doesn't mean this is not a style option that's not sorely needed.

And once more perhaps because I have a high hairline irl and hate bangs, I didn't even notice that anyone would pick out this hairstyle as having a high forehead until you get to the viera where the proportions are slightly off. The forehead looks normal on everyone else. I still think most of the hairs in XIV have the opposite problem where some foreheads are too low and it makes them look ugly, and the constant complaints otherwise baffle me.

XIV doesn't have a lot of center-back to approaching waist-length hair - but it also doesn't have many options for truly short unisex hair (and almost nothing textured, coils, or curls). This is simple with no added braids, accessories, or partialy shaved designs, so it will be versatile for new NPCs and adds a much-needed variety option.

This ^


I have very long curly hair irl- it's to my tail bone
I want those types of hairstyles that the NPC's have
Anything shoulder blade length & collar bone length is considered medium length

I can easily say this new hair should be sufficient for masculine short hair requests but I know there aren't many masculine short hairs
I can easily say Viera have enough hairstyles but I know that not to be true.
I'm ranting bc the audacity of people acting like 2-4 medium length hairs is enough, that people should be happy or something- they are flat, boring hairstyles & lack any variety or uniqueness & it's very annoying

I'm not keeping a hairstyle thread up to be told by players "you have long hairs" No. we. do. not.
/rant over

God, I want Venat's hair. And I feel Gaia's hair should've been packed with the shop outfit. :v
