Hair colours from the blog

[Gemma]

Then why bother? Our characters don't age, they have no blemishes. There's not much that can/needs to be brought out in our complexion, we're kinda designed to have perfect skin from the start. Maybe a little lipstick, I know a lot of people are into bold lips, but the distant levels we get for most of this is just unnecessary.

I do hope they have a salon of sorts so people can change mistakes and not lose their characters.

I wouldn't worry, I remember yoshi-p saying that we'll get a barber shop so we can change hair, hair color, face paint/make-up, eye color (think thats it but meh, who knows! lol)

So as far as hairstyle goes guess I'm not gonna stress about that since I'll be able to change it down the road.
And yea as for the facepaints, not a fan myself just cause the new ones look like carnival paint on their face lol, but others seem to like it.

Hair colors being a bit out there doesn't bother me unless its an eye sore lol. But people dye their hair crazy colors all the time so guess people in Eorzea want to cut loose and have green hair sometimes lol ^_^ (think I'll stick with my natural look as well ^_^b)

Not too keen on unnatural hair colors. At least not for the setting.

Stay tuned for more complaints.

For what it's worth... Miqo'te had always had pink hair since 1.0. Also well as blue.
Hyur had some weird hair colors as well.

I doubt we're getting anything too extreme?

I might change dub into a ginger-ninja

I always thought the 'saturated' hair colour was a JRPG thing...
I'll most likely tone down the chroma on my pompadour... highlander... thing... whatever the hell it's called.

Think to yourself what JRPG stands for, followed by defining what SE is.

You're welcome. ^^;

Our characters don't age.

Actually, they do - it is more that the game itself is in a sort of time bubble of perpetual 1572, 6th Astral Era. This facilitates story-telling. It may not be realistic, but it's for the greater good.

Before I move onto question two, allow me to veer off onto a little tangent: there have been several threads about Hydaelyn’s timeline not matching up with Earth’s. If it has been two years since the release of the game, why is it still 1572 in Eorzea at the time of patch 1.23? This is a dilemma faced by a lot of MMOs. To allow everyone that joins the game, regardless of when they do, to experience the full story, there simply has to be a stoppage of time. Okay, not really a stoppage, but more of a time bubble in which a span of about a year is contained. This is why that for the duration of 1.0, Eorzea was in a perpetual 1572. Think of it as the same thing that’s happening in the Simpsons. 23 seasons gone and Lisa’s still 8, Maggie’s still a baby, and the gummy Venus still tastes oh, so sacrelicious. Pushing time along would also mean changing 1000s of lines of NPC dialogue, updating quests, webpages, etc. with every patch. Meaning it would take more than double the time to release updates, and I’m sure most people wouldn’t want to wait. In a book, movie, offline game, a strict timeline can be set without too many complications. In an online title, there are just too many variables, so we ask that you bear with our bending of space-time. It’s for the greater good!

... SE has made protagonist characters with unnatural hair colors too, even in settings similar to FFXIV (In the setting of FFV/FFVI, yes. In FFXII's case, no). It's not a bad thing per say, I'm just mentioning it's more common in the genre of things.

In FFXII's case, no).

Since when is it natural for a young, dark-skinned person to naturally have silver hair, eh?

It's a bunny does it really matter? why people are fighting over natural hair or not? How many time do i see people with random,green,red,and werid hair color? about every time i go to the movies or i'm by a high school.

It's a game who cares.

Never said it was a bad thing, he merely suggested that 12 was an exception for unnatural hair colors, I posed an example of the theme still being present.
