I don't doubt it, but I'd imagine the louder folks yelling for it are those with female toons, and the loudest complaints about the new hair are likely those with males.

Though I see myself using the hime hair on my lizard man, I can understand folks disappointment over the new hairstyles. 4.0 and 4.1 both had a "unisex" m/f hair. How much one liked them was a ymmv deal, but this patch is giving us short girly hair or long girly hair- If you don't like more androgynous looks you're out of luck till the cash shop updates, canals/eureka get a hair drop, or 4.3.

I'm just gonna say.. I personally know about 5 dudes in my daily life with that short hairstyle. Maybe it's just cause asians are a majority here.. but that doesn't particularly strike me as female. It's just on a female model.

I understand the disappointment for sure though, but "Butt ugly" is quite subjective.

If crafted gear continues to be dyeable versions of old raid gear, then that means there'll be a dyeable Yafaemi Aiming set. As that's one of my all-time favorite glams right now, color me excited for when that eventually happens.

I'm cool with the hairstyles, and even cooler with the fact that they continue to be unisex. Try it on your dudes before passing on them entirely. Some of the "feminine" looks of recent ones turn out to be perfectly fine on male characters.

As for the Mendacity gear, I'm pumped. It all looks good, but I'm especially motivated to level my healer again, because that hat (which everyone thought was a new hairstyle) is a Mongolian-style headdress, and there is no such thing as too many Xaela glams.

lol the new emote is a copy/paste of the female midlander's goodbye... and eeeh about the hairstyles (esp the one the au ra has, ew). i get SE is basically pushing Far East at every turn but i'd kind of like a little more in regards to ala mhigo's culture, eg; furniture, glamour sets. it's disappointing the only ala mhigan attire we have is verity gear and lvl70 crafting/gathering and maybe some others...

There's also a lot of furniture and glamour displayed around Ishgard that would be nice to have access to.

Sadly yes but they are outweighed by the threads about wanting thoughtful male hair designs as well as thought out male glamour and not just the female glamour that is shapped differently but still ugly...

Female characters in most MMOs get more thought put into their stuff but males usually get generic items or these butt ugly hairstyles that are categorized as unisex but is definitely for a woman :/

These screens are better than the ones in the micro site.

At any rate, if they're running out of ideas for new hairstyles then maybe they can add some additional customisation options elsewhere?

A lot of people have been asking for new scars and tattoos. Male characters could do with more facial hair options.

Bushier eyebrows could be added. More make up options could be added.

It'd certainly help increase the amount of distinct looking characters.
