Hairstyles

[GhostXO]

I want more scruffy, long styles preferrably with bangs for women. Can't really speak on Male characters because I don't play one...but I kind of hate being a supposed adventurer who looks like she gets her hair professionally done daily. It's nice sometimes but I want variety.

Oh and more hair for Viera and Hroth, yes please.

There's this one hair for miqo'te that I really love, where it looks like she just said "SCREW IT!" and buzzed it all off, and it's starting to get to length again. (the first one, it's the first one) More ultra low maintenence hairs would be great to see.

I want more short and tribal styles like the one OP posted. I use that hair on my Roe because it's the only thing that gives off that more rough / primal vibe. More of that, please!

Correction, the first comment under OP, not the OP.

The problem with hair in this game is the same as gear design, it almost always ends up way over-designed. I would love for them to just suck it up and do some nice, simple designs.

More often than not it looks better on paper than it does rendered. The gear design as concept art looks beautiful. In game? Bleurgh.

I'm so glad the Neo-Ishgardian set came out the way it did. Hair is the same. When you see it in artwork, it's gorgeous. Or a different art style in general. But the way some hair sticks out so awkwardly or clips through anything with a collar? Ugh.

An artist will draw their fancy hair properly, in game, it will look incredibly busy and not at all like 2D. The Tarot Cafe, one of my favorite Korean manga has a lot of hair and styles I adore. But as much as I'd want something like pic related in game, it will undoubtedly look fake. The Gyr Albanian plait being a primary example depending on the race and color. It's like seeing a Lunafreya cosplay done by someone with a lot of hair pent up under a massive wig.

Normally I'd be down with more shared hairstyles, but XIV does not implement them in great ways. So many of the shared styles look like they were designed with one particular gender/race, and poorly stretched to fit everyone else. And then there's the matter of having a ton of very generic, short styles that keep getting churned out.

In my perfect world they would just stick to race-specific hairstyles only so that we get properly tailored styles vs. the bargain one-size-sorta-fits all options we get now.

In a perfect world sure, still in that world I wouldn't mind seeing some quality styles to be shared rather than hoarded. Definitely would never happen considering they still haven't released the custom viera styles, but it's a good thing to think of, what could be.

[Skivvy]

Oh yeah, I have no problems sharing styles in general. My issue is more that the shared styles tend to fit poorly or that they're fairly generic and samesie ( not all, but a lot).

If they'd take the time to slightly tailor-fit them for the races and genders, I'd be all over that.

You'll have to excuse the brain today, the struggle is real

NO.

I don't want more short boring hairs... I want more LONG hair with bangs or something. I'm sick of getting nothing but shorty and short or the shortest hairs. It never looks good from the back and ruins the entire piece. There's so many hairs that'll be awesome if the back was long instead of this boring bald fresh cut I don't wanna be a girl anymore hair we always get T.T
