MEGATHREAD: Requested Hairstyles & Facial Hair

[Gordita]

Laguna, from FFVIII. His hair is pretty simple and can easily work for both genders. Though I mostly want this for male characters so they have less feminine long hair varieties.

Pls give us this hair. (And more ff8 stuff in general)

Mog Station Modish hair for Viera
They can wear Thancred & Y'shtola's outfit but STILL cannot use the hairstyles from this paid for item

You posted the same thing less than a week ago.

Additionally, we know full well that they're working on it.

The endless repetition risks causing the real requests to get lost in the noise.

I hope when the contest hairstyles are added, they start with the short ones so they're "out of the way" and then focus on all the longer ones. I say this because I want the short hairstyles but don't want to wait till 10.5 for them lol

I'd much prefer if it was 1 short, 1 long so everyone wins

Same, I’ve been waiting for some good long hairstyles forever! lol

Considering how much everyone complains about a little clipping here and there it's no surprise they don't add long hairstyles more often.

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.

I'd like that the hairstyles that are bound to specific face shapes on Hrothgars are made available to all other face shapes.
In my case, I'd like that the hairstyles from face shapes 2 and 4 are made available to face shape 1.

Actually, no, better than that, it would be great if they made all race-specific (and face shape specific) hairstyles available to everyone.

I'm happy that they've started to add "normal" hairstyles to Hrothgars, but most of the time they feel out of place or "glued on", like they're wigs or something. They don't fit well with the race's aesthetic in my opinion.
More scraggly/messy hair and stuff like braids feel more appropriate, and short buns as well maybe? Mid-length hairstyles feel like a sweet spot for Hrothgar.
Now that I think about it, I wonder why they never made a "bald" hairstyle for Hrothgar. I feel like having no hair at all would work just fine on a feline race if you're aiming for a less leonine look.

I don't have any problem with long hairstyles. I'm using one right now and my holy grail hairstyle is a long one.



All I'm saying is that if I were developing a video game and its community requested long hairstyles, then bitched about clipping every time I added one, I would add them very infrequently if at all.

The only way around that is to either stick to short hairstyles, make all chest pieces boring and flat, or implement a robust physics engine with full collision detection that would blow up all the toasters most people are running this game on the second they step into a populated area.

If the community can accept that clipping is unavoidable and quit whining incessantly about it you'd probably see the devs be much less apprehensive about adding long hairstyles.
