People who don't like clipping are going to avoid at all costs what items/glams/hairs clip; and there are many many short hairstyles, more short/ medium length than long to satisfy them. While I believe we need a larger variety of hairstyles, I do think we don't have enough long hairs. They don't even have to be long tresses like Gaia's hair, but they can be braids, buns, side swoops, etc that are done better than what we've been given - but people who want long hairs can overlook most clipping; it boils down to the devs on making long hairstyles work better.

It does feel like though the players who always want short hairs are ordering for the entire table, regardless of what the other players want. Similar to the Viera hair situation, there were players who understood they can have completely new hairstyles along with the modern aesthetic hairstyles, but the loudest players didn't want that & only the already existing hairs added along with the modern aesthetics were added. And now we have a plethora of hairs for Viera which is great but it's very obvious 90% of those hairs don't fit nor were made for Viera & look very awkward. I wish I could go to an alternate reality of ffxiv where we would have gotten entirely new hairs for Viera + the modern aesthetics.
