3 reasons the Hairstyle Contest really ruffled some feathers...

Some of the Japanese hairstyles though were presented nicer. Could be the very reason they got more votes.

Yeah, I think this contest was less about the hairstyles and more about who could draw a prettier picture. I think the male one will translate nicely to an in-game model, but that female one seems like it's going to be so bland and blah.

Maybe. I kind of wish the female one could be used on males. We don't have many feminine hairstyles. Feminine hair would look really great on Miqo'te males.

I also want more male hair on Lalafell females and more female hair on Lalafell males. More unisex hairstyles for those two races.

Or more cross-race hairstyles in general. I have long hair IRL (looks like my character's actually) and for me, at least, the choices of long hair available on Male Hyurs sucks. They've come a longer way in adding more long hairstyles, but I feel like most of them don't really look that great. Au'ri Males, on the other hand, have an excellent choice of long hairstyles and I wish they'd let the other races have them as well.

Wish they used the poll system they have...:/

What could have been more fair was having one winner per region (NA, Japan, Europe).

And let's emphasize that about 50% didn't understand / read the "only your last vote counts" thing.
Assuming that most didn't deliberately vote on multiple entries to skew the results.

[Niqote]

Mmm. For me it was just sad that I was not allowed to enter, even though I am classified as 'EU' on my account.

Having the devs arbitrarily pick who made it into the finalists didn't help either.

Ultimately the developers will pick who wins and who loses in the first place. They picked pretty well but missed some really cool ones. The issue is though, I think the PS3 REALLY limits what they can do, and some would look weird in polygons.

I mean, whats worse. Not being picked, or your hairstyle being picked, winning but when its actually in-game it looks bad because of low polygon count?
