If it helps ease any concerns, modern cash shop hairstyles are always created with availability to Hrothgar & Viera. It's only the old hairstyles they're slowly working through at this point.
This has been bothering me, too. I think it's particularly egregious that, with this release, we'll now have more hairstyles released in the cash shop than released to be obtainable within the game this expansion. Many of the contest winners have nice, unique silhouettes too--and there's so many of them that I was really hoping we'd get more than one implemented per patch. It's extra aggravating when most of the cash shop hairstyles have been feminine-leaning ponytails at this point, as well (not that I inherently dislike that style)...I do feel sad though that we have to pay for new hair they used to add them with patches but now they are adding Hroth ones and hoping the other races will be ok with not having new but having them on the store. I do feel Hrothgar need more hair though as they are half done >.<



Black headbands confirmed to be built into Cheryl's and Leo's hairstyles, but the tiara is part of Cheryl's outfit so it's separate from the hair (also sold separately). The texturing looks nice at first glance?
If anyone gets it, mind posting how it looks on your characters?

The emotes being just bstance with added flair (think /blowkiss vs /dote) made me roll my eyes into the back of my skull
How lazy can you get?
Also, the Fantasian collab is limited from today until 6/1/2026, which is unfortunate as this is the first of limited time cash shop collab so far in ffxiv.



People listing dates as MM/DD/YYYY always gets me to do a double take...
Anyways, agreed. I find it odd, but they also left a note saying it may come back so I'm not too worried.
Guess we'll start getting collab stuff that pops in and out of the store in an attempt to keep things fresh...? I wonder what would possess them to make this choice.



Oh look, they're adding FOMO to the cash shop.
That's gross. No thanks...

The hairs are gorgeous. I bought them both. My money. My priorities. You all need to really get with the program because this game is 100% heading towards an in-game cash shop, battle passes, premium pass upgrades and more. If you don't think they aren't watching the success of Wuthering Waves, Genshin and now Where Winds Meet, you're sorely mistaken. Also, what is with all the complaints? It's optional. You aren't required to purchase.

I'm against the timed cash shop collabs, but what are you talking about here? FFXIV (PC) has always been a sub based MMO with a cash shop, and there's no plans for a paid battle pass or gacha for ages.The hairs are gorgeous. I bought them both. My money. My priorities.

Love the new hairstyles the twin bun one is not as nice on my Midlander but the shortish ponytail one is really lovely though and the price was not too expensive. I do like the outfits also.
