MEGATHREAD: Requested Hairstyles & Facial Hair

[LuciaMirain]

I feel like we have been shouting about Hildas hairstyle or similar for years now, and I would really like to know why we cant get hers? I have seen the m*ds and they look amazing on all female races...I just dont see why?

Just like I feel we deserve Omega F/M's and Ryne's hair cause we got the outfits, why not the hair too? I don't get it either tbh

I already know many people will not like this response, but it is not my intention to bash anyone in favor of these glamours. However, it is about what the dev team considers a priority, and the time needed to do it, and it is player demand that dictates that priority.

We can also add Lord Hein's hair to this list as it is also really high in demand, and Hilda's and Hein's hairstyles wouldn't cause much, if any clipping issues. Hair is also one of the most difficult items to work with and/or around. With characters like Hilda, Hein, and Gaia, they only need to worry about making it work for them, and not thousands of moving players on the server.

It also isn't just reworking existing gear to loosen restrictions. New hairstyles and gear is also something they feel takes priority over releasing NPC hairstyles to the playerbase. This has a high demand as well, and all of us love to see what's new with every patch release. My own personal take is that one-piece outfits should always come with the hairstyle. They have done this before, so I have no answer on why it isn't a standard. It's very easy to adopt the mindset of 'minimal effort, maximum profit' in cases like Gaia, Ryne, and Omega F.

Or just maybe, for whatever unfathomable reason, they don't want to release Hilda's hair and have moved on to other requested features that they are willing to work on. It's certainly not being neglected for lack of requests – I've seen more for those hairstyles than for gender-unlocking anything besides maybe the bunny suits.

Sure, but there was a clear reluctance with the bunny suits, and I am sure they knew as I did that was a slippery slope. I base that off of the clear as day resentful, "Fits EVERYONE" description they tagged them with. And now here we are. The push for gender neutrality within FFXIV is everywhere. They can't release anything gender specific without someone coming around crying about it afterwards, and you know it. That being said, I would definitely say the speculation is much lower with gender neutrality than it is with them just not wanting to release Hilda's hairstyle. Not saying you're wrong. I am just less inclined to believe that's the case based on my own observation in game, and here on the forums.

It was a bad idea because now everytime anything is genderlocked they cry like the world is ending. Its so annoying and wish they would grow up and stop whining so we could get new items instead.

Yeah, that has always been my biggest thing when it came to them fitting gear like that: the resources spent. I'd rather see more items created. Hopefully when all that is done, and hairs are fitted for viera and hroths, we can see a bump in both..

We see all these requests for hairs,clothes etc but we can’t get them it seems. But the community would rather have men in dresses. I remember I myself put many pictures in this thread a long time ago. Not sure if we ever got anything close to what people put in here. It is also an issue where I feel the community managers only relay certain things that are similar to their views and such. Surely we cant have 67 pages of hair requests and never see them? Plenty of these would be easy to make. But as we agree on they are using resources on stuff that could be better spent elsewhere on things many people would enjoy and not a small group.
