i wish hairstyles werent limited to race

[BreathlessTao]

Unlocking the race-locked hairstyles for other races would basically solve the "new hairstyles pls!" requests. We have a handful of hairstyles for each race, sure, and yet I continue to see the same 2-3 on most characters. Because for each race, among the handful, there's maybe like 2-3 that any one person actually likes, maybe 5 after the gradual additions. But the game is two years old. Cycling through 5 hairstyles has gotten old. And at the same time, there are, for me personally, about 3 Au Ra 'dos that I'm really in love with - probably everyone could find at least that many in other races' hairstyles if they were unlocked. They are already in-game, it wouldn't require resources to come up with new designs, it wouldn't add more data to the game - at most they'd need to make some minor adjustments, but that's it. Variety would increase greatly. When we have so many people all across the realm, and a master aesthetician, I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to style our hair whichever way we want to, regardless of race. If anything, it's 2-3 that they should be keeping race-exclusive.

That being said, more racial-specific clothing plz.

My only complaint with the current racial specific clothing is none of it seems to have context towards the race except the Au Ra tbh, it all just seems like "Cute/Regular outfit for x". Like most of the Miqo'te we see in game are desert hunters or they live in the forest and function as hunters there (Which is kinda built into their genes).. And the girl's have a miniskirt, thigh highs, and a so much skin showing, I can't begin to understand what culture they come from with that clothing.

And this is where all of SE funds go to :3
Lol nah keep hairstyles locked to specific races, it gives the races actual uniqueness tht ppl care about with a fiery passion.

Or else the majority will make this game into
magical miqote female adventurer.
NOW with new hairstyles,
You can go RP while ur at it too and say my kitty doesn't like getting wet in the rain & needs an umbrella.
..... Oh wait someone made a thread about that already lmao.

Snip

Outside of the spiky horn bits for the Au Ra (Which aren't even like.. Clan specific colored horns which doesn't make any sense), there's no reason why any of the races shouldn't be able to have the other races hairs. Want "Races actually uniqueness tht ppl care about" well.. Welcome to the aesthetic of the race, you're an Elezen, the unique thing is you're a tall person + any racial background lore that you fill in. I'd prefer racial uniqueness coming from body shape and all over something as silly as hair choices or clothing.

Miqo'te have access to your character's hard, I don't see you suddenly swapping to Miqo'te yourself (Though girl Au Ra is a close second..)
Also don't diss on roleplayers, go figure not a lot of people like getting wet in the rain.

How about no....

If bangs were optional, sure, but personally I prefer hairstyles with bangs and would not want them removed.

More hairstyles would be great for everyone... I loved my au ra hair but I just couldn't stay au ra in the end.

Since when did I say to remove the originals?

Bangs clip to high hell on everything and completely hide circlets and scale patterns. Severely limits my hair choices.

Most of them are stupid "everything to the eyebrows is covered" stuff that I haven't seen on a rl lady in years anyway. I don't have them. I'm running an A line bob with some layers in the back with no bangs. I'd kill for that for my Elezen. Nope. Every bob in game has shitty thick fringe.

Yes. Please. Give us all the hair. All genders and especially all races.

I love female roegadyn. But they also have terrible hair. All the female roegadyn hairstyles feature weird ponytails, hair accessories, and really really REALLY weird-looking long hair selections.

I would love to have some of the female highlander hairstyles on female roegadyn.

I did make a lalafell alt at some point. I prefer playing female characters but ended up rolling male when I realized there weren't any short hairs available to them or anything that wasn't extremely cutesy.

Enter that contest advertised on ffxiv website about hairstyles suggest what you want. I entered a Johnny Depp hairstyle for the men and a Rachel McAdams hairstyle for the women. Idk about each and every race but you can enter that contest and suggest what you would like. Doesn't mean they are going to do it but doesn't hurt to try.

[Pyroxene]

I'd love to see all hairstyles unlocked for all races before this "create your own" contest thing.
Not so much to ask

Take all hairstyles and remove the bangs.

Now add them back and make them available to everyone.

That's... what it sounded like? Take them away, remove the bangs, then put them back.

Anyway, I'd imagine it's because thick bangs are really popular in Japan.

[hennalang]

Yeah, I'm really hoping some of the Au Ra hairstyles are shared. And honestly, there's a short Highlander hair that I've wanted on my Midlander forever... Oh well...
