Hairstyles

[Teslo]

Ideally... Hair would be kind of... A mesh with a bunch of independently moving parts that reacted to things like wind or being covered by hats, but held generally in place, in the same style, by that same mesh. Unfortunately what we have are hard textures that are no different from pieces of gear. So what you end up with are Top Hair and Back hair. You can change each setting to mix and match your looks. This starts breaking down a little when you start talking about helmets, or really anything that can interfere with the hair texture. Since it's a static model, you have to remove Back Hair any time the character puts something on their head that covers at least the whole top of the head. Otherwise you'll have hair clipping out of helmets or spriggan caps. To combat this the developers would have to code (Separately) each set of Back Hair when in the presence of each separate piece of head wear, just so that it doesn't clip out and look ridiculous. Example... I have the back-knot hair style (That would be the Back Hair texture) and I'm currently wearing the Moogle Head. If the helmet didn't remove the Back Hair texture, you would see little bits of green sticking out the back of my Moogle Head. Or if I had twintails, those would stick partially out the side. Hope this helps!

tl;dr - PS3 limitations :P

The selection of male Lalafell hairstyles is rather lacking.

I'd like all hairstyle to just be ported about! I don't see why there would be race restricted and NPC/PC restricted hairstyles. :/
