The thing is, Yoshida and his team are definitely attached to their lore. And as they are, ultimately, the sole deciders... And I do think it's better that way. It's not being a lore freak to accept that FFXIV is not a MMO like Aion or TERA, but a MMO that's pleasant to see, a classy game that's designed by people who want to keep it that way... I don't even see why you're complaining, there's already much more variety in hair and eye colors than on faces... You can have a purple haired hyur or a light blue haired miqo'te, and they all seem natural. Letting everyone choose his flashy hair colors would just ruin FFXIV's aesthetics...

I'm still all out for more customization, I just want it to be done properly. More faces, more hair cuts, tatoos or whatever for some races... There's plenty of things to get that are more important than unnatural hair dyes...
