YES THIS!! I want hair as long as Tifa's: the original tifa! not the AC one D: or at least hip length. The fact that there is no diversity makes me sad ; ; Short female hair styles are OK..but can we have long ones too please, SE? It does not feel very final fantasyish with such short hair. All my favorite heroins have had long long hair ; ;

Akahiko is designing this game, yes? Maybe you could give us some hairstyles from your pervious games like Princess Ovelia?

They won't do really long hair if it causes too much interference with clothing.

I seriously MUCH prefer some clipping and slightly less natural hair movement AND have long hairstyles THAN only short hair styles (or tied hair).

I really hope they are putting it in 2.0... if not, DEFINITELY IN THE FIRST EXPANSION? Right? Right?

Right... because they totally considered this with WHM hood and any two handed weapon/shield. :P

That's a bit different. There is some clipping with gear but you need to consider that you won't have the same gear throughout the lifetime of the game. Whereas if your hair creates graphical issues that's something you'll have to deal with (potentially) forever.

You do realize how much they re-skin everything right? I do agree for the most part though.

Yeah I know the large majority of gear is recycled models with different textures, but the point is still that hair is much less predictable and kind of limits them in that sense.

Omg this please.
I was upset when I made my character that I couldn't have long hair. ; ;

I think the development team wants long hair too.

Unfortunately there are engine limitations. I can't pull the specific source post but, the reason we can't have long hair is the same reason we can't have capes. If we did have long hair (and capes) it would be horribly anti-climactic because it wouldn't be able to flow and longer hair (and capes) would look more fake for if they were actually implemented rather than just forgoing them outright.

Not to repeat "it's coming in 2.0" but if I remember correctly the same post I'm "referring" (term used loosely) to mentioned that the new engine would be significantly more capable of displaying such things. Even then, we won't be getting anywhere near the fluidity of say, Lightning's cape/scarf in XIII.

It seems the "hard" ponytail options we get for a lot of the female hairstyles was a compromise. Developers really wanted to have long hair, but couldn't justify that hair not moving well.

In other words, they didn't want vanilla Skyrim hairstyles, and honestly, I applaud them for making that decision. Those hairstyles are atrocious. Love the game though.
