    What's the point?

    Hey guys, I've been wondering why some races get certain hairstyles first. What's the point? I know that the other races will get them when the next patch arrives but why do that in the first place?

    I'm not sure either.
    At first I thought they were giving least popular races new hairstyles to make them more popular in the playerbase.
    But now that Miq'ote got an exclusive hairstyle(until a next update?) I don't know anymore.

    I guess they're prioritizing other races first since they're more popular. If that's the case, what's preventing SE to just give the new hairstyles to all races? Time restrictions?

    ...I must admit, pretty much the reason why I made this topic is because my Hyur can't have that long hair. So now I'll have to wait for a few months to get it. Which isn't that bad. After all, ever since FFXIV was released, I've been waiting for a sword-wielding DD (come on SE). It just begs the question as to why only certain races get the new hairstyles.

    I guess to give each race that specific uniqueness for a certain period of time? Just thought of it just now. I always thought it may be difficulties with applying the same hairstyle to every race because of certain features(Miquote ears for example)

    The reason is because the hairstyle has to be modeled to each race, they can't simply throw a Lala hairstyle unaltered onto a Roe's head, for example. Which means they basically have to create a new model for every race in order to make the hairstyle work for a given race. They don't have infinite time to spend on hair, so it gets rolled out slowly, which is fine.
