Another year without Rainmaker Hairstyle

[Lexi]

Didn't they say there would be things from past events available? I didn't see anything new aside from the Mining/Logging games.

Do people even play those?

I never get my hopes up when I read that because it normally means stuff like fireworks or food items.

I have to laugh at this!

WTF is with SE and this damn hairstyle???
Why do they refuse to give people a second chance to get it when they do it for every other event reward?

Is this hair tied to some Collab with some other 3rd party and they simply don't have the rights to add it in the game again? What is the deal here?

Probably not. I’m sure they’ve used the hairstyle on NPCs even after the event somewhere, and as much as I’ve dug up, its original to the game. It looks similar to like.. one or two different non-Square Enix characters but its not like that even means anything.

Nope, that hair style is from a character (Sice) in FF Type-0 so there should be no issues there.

I was dumb and got my hopes up over it coming back. I am now very sad and it's my own fault.

[Infindox]

Yeah, I don't get it. Perhaps it suits some other players, but I really do not care about those game machines. I'd rather have hairstyles, fashion or even minions.

You can just go to the Gold Saucer to play those game machines, so I don't get why you'd want them in your house (and pay 200k Gold Saucer points for it).

Tbf for my fc I have these machines set up on our top floor to simulate a sort of arcade/chill area, because a lot of us grew up near some and we thought it would be a cool thing.
But I get you. Hair, fashion, and minions are more accessible to everyone.

[Yencat]

Hair... accessible to everyone.

<triggered>

I have the hair but I can't use it, it's very strange they won't bring it back for everyone else though considering how highly requested it is every year.

I'm actually okay with the hairstyle being limited. It's one of the few things in this game you actually had to be there for and it adds an extra special feeling to it.

I'd respect that if they were transparent about it.

Yeah, it does seem rather shady to withhold it without even giving the excuse that they wanted it to be one of a kind, especially cosnidering the only items to have that privilege were 1.0 items and extra-company collaborations (even then one of which happens on a frequent enought basis to consider discounting)
