New Female Highlander Hairstyles... got the shaft

[Gurpsmeister]

In the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X, Yoshida mentioned that each patch will focus on a specific race along with opening other race's hairstyle options.



While patch 2.1 introduced new hairstyles for Roegadyns, we'll continue adding more hairstyles for other races and the ones added recently will be selectable for other races in the next patch.

Good deal guys, in 3-6 months we can use this feature for what we wanted it to be. Just like housing..and pvp. *sigh*

From what I've heard from friends, it seems like all races only got 1-2 additional options.

Not to be all doom and gloom... but I hope the disappointment many feel encourages the Dev Team to, at the very least, increase the number of hairstyles added per race for the next patch. Waiting three to six months for only one to three hairstyles to be added is quite... absurd.

Especially since what they added for my race, Mi'qote, was my absolute least favorite option: pigtails. I hate pigtails. Just despise them. I was so annoyed when I saw that pigtails was the new option I had to work with.

Miqo'te only got one too, the female human pigtails. But the lightning hair is so much better on a Miqo'te anyway.

I have no clue why they didn't just give all female and all male haircuts to everyone.

I don't understand why they gave miqo'te THIRD set of pigtails... I wanted the ponytail from midlander females.

[Mordermi]

I just want a real beard..

Yes. So I can be like 18394829347293804723401987230981374802934723980471093274 other people.

You're playing an MMO with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, if not more, where each race has only a handful of hairstyles, a good number of which are shared between multiple races.

No matter what you pick you're going to look like 18394829347293804723401987230981374802934723980471093274 other people you special snowflake.

Your character is currently wearing my previous hairstyle, for example.

Pick what you like the most. Wear it. When you get bored of it, change it. That's the primary point of the Aesthetician.

Haha SE implementation fail.

I tried out the Aesthetician last night and I was a bit disappointed. Sure, I had the Snow hair style as an option but I dislike Snow so freaking much that I can't bear the thought of my male Miqo'te resembling him. And I've yet to see any male player character in-game (thus far) with it that I'm inclined to think that I'm not the only one that feels that way about the hair style.

Haha yeah. There really seems to be a love it - hate it type approach to the FFXIII hairstyles, as expected.

Depending on the race in question, they can be one of the best options though. Personally, I'm no particular fan of Snow or particularly even a fan of using existing character hairstyles (seems about as weird as if they added Cloud's hairstyle now and we saw a bunch of Clouds running around).

That being said, I immediately changed my male miqo'te alt's hairstyle to the Snow one and feel right at home with it. Out of the options for male miqo'te, I personally find that one to be the best looking. Especially since I typically don't display head pieces on him and I wanted a longer hairstyle that didn't look incredibly feminine and this hairstyle basically solves both.


My main disappointment with the Aesthetician is that we're unable to change eye color.
