SE, Can we please have NPC Exclusive hair?

[HeyMcFly]

Hairstyles that look incredible that we don't yet have. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
Yotsuyu, Yugiri, Gaia, Lyse, Ryne, Minfilia's long hair, Estinien, Ysayle, Zenos & Hilda's hairstyles are NPC exclusive and I think it's time that we have these hairstyles added for the playerbase- they're as gender neutral as Cloud Strife's hair, so why can't we have the hairstyles added?
Please, make some noise in having these Hairstyles become accessible!

Other hairstyles that should be included: 2P from Copied Factory, Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, Garnet Til Alexandrous-- etc.

2B is 100% happening. So I wouldn't worry about that one.
As for the other NPC's. Honestly. I can understand the reoccurring npcs hair not being available but I think its dumb to keep the npcs that are dead, not being used anymore or hardly shown locked to them.

One of the biggest offenders being that kid from the HW Relic story line.

Think the problem is that the Dev's are just too hesitant to put long hair in the game citing "clipping issues" even though most people who want long hair will prefer gear without collars etc to avoid clipping to begin with and also that if they added the option to have a 2nd short hairstyle that could be toggled like hats etc then this would solve the whole issue anyways. Most people dont care too much if the hair appears rigid its to be expected anyways unless they basically overhaul the game engine again. Personally I don't care if the hair clips a bit etc I'd rather have the option than not have it at all.

+1
Even if I agree some of these hairs would have lots of clipping issues. It still would be better to have more options for long hair for people who really don't mind the clipping. You would be limited to some glams if you wouldn't want it to clip and that is still fine. Or simply ignore the clipping like many of us do with certain hairstyles.

Everything clips anyway. Tails, existing hair styles, weapons stored on the back. It's not a valid excuse.

No one should get any more hairstyles until Viera get all the ones they've missed out on so far. Especially the ones that are earned in game.

I want my stubble they keep showing in all the 5.X trailers. I'm using the same damn face FFS.

Yoshida: * reads thread *

Yoshida: sorry, packet limitations and 1.0 mom’s spaghetti code...oh, and clipping too

Dev: b..but...players dont care about cli-

Yoshida: no

[BiddyBatnana]

At first I would say no because these NPC are really specific character with specific look.
Now given that we already have Thancred/Y'shtola/etc.. hairstyles available through the marketplace.. Why not ?

But first Viera.

Exactly- Especially with the new armor sets? They have no collars & as you said, most people who want long hair are willing to put up with clipping or just wear something that won't involve clipping
