MEGATHREAD: Requested Hairstyles & Facial Hair

[HeyMcFly]

Hell yeah I would be stoked to get Zero's hair. The last one they added was great, too.

Still holding out hope for the dream hairstyle one day though.

I'd love to get Fang's hair as an addition!
Not for me, but for the folks who want her hair
A proper mullet
I hope along with zero's hair, we also get zeros earring

I know I half assed mine, literally did it an hour before the deadline cuz I got the dates wrong, but I hope the idea was clear enough lol

If not mine, I hope at least one short masculine hairstyle makes it to the winners. November can't get here fast enough.

I get that!!
I half-assed one of mine, and as much as I advocate for longer hairstyles, Two that I did were basically short-
one was an up-do bun and the other an asymmetrical style-
And the other is a side braid- That one was half assed but it ended up being my fav.
I'm more excited that the SE devs are looking at all of our works. I feel an accomplishment from that, aside from actually getting what was required completed before the deadline.
Also, goodluck!!

Surely they can't just go dangling Durante with his pretty hairstyle in front of us and then give us Zero's instead.

Like, I have long been resigned to the fact that they will give major characters unique hairstyles that they are unwilling to give to players (I assume lest it kill the server hamster) but Durante doesn't seem major enough to justify a unique hairstyle that won't be reused. He seems more on the level of "important for this story arc only so we'll use him to showcase a new hairstyle for players" level, like Asahi, Ejika Tsunjika, Lyon, the crafter guy from Ehll Tou's questline, etc etc.

Ironically they made Krile a very unique wavy ponytail only to show it in 2 very short scenes in Endwalker.

Given that we know she's getting a costume change for Dawntrail, it's possible that they were already planning ahead for that idea so they built the model early?

(Or is it maybe left over from an earlier concept version of her model? I'm not a 3D animator; would they build things like that and then abandon it? The closest thing I've noticed in this game is that the Voiceless Moon staff for WHM – the sole unique weapon model that drops from Bardam's Mettle amid a stack of recolours – looks like it surely must have been designed for the Heavens' Ward and then rejected after being made.)

I lol'd, but I don't think her hair has much in common with a mullet.

The majority of the hair is long and swept back. There are a few shorter wild stands toward the front, but it's not the entire top of her head and they're not that short. It looks more like she just has a lot of layering going on.






Now THIS is a mullet.

Fang's is more like a swept back Wolf-cut

Whatever it's actually called I dig it!

A) Krile is not quite the one-off single arc character Durante is, b) Krile is absolutely getting a promotion going into Dawntrail and is probably going to be the job representation for the new caster DPS - green mage, perhaps. I doubt she's still going to be sporting the cat hoodie and will probably get the new caster's artifact gear in a unique colourway. They also did release her "hairstyle" at one point, it's just hidden under the hoodie. They've probably had her actual head and hair designed for several expansions and just never had a reason to use it because they gave her the signature kitty hood.

Sometimes things are on the backburner and we don't see the results for a long time. I'm sure Durante's hairstyle is on some list somewhere. Even Hilda's likely is.

Actually she already let her hood down at some point in either HW or Eureka (probably the latter) so her hair model isn't really a new EW thing. I think it's just reserved for intense or emotional moments for dramatic effect.

Though I wonder if it'd become available at all since technically female characters already get the frontal part of it from her store outfit /shrug

I don't recall that happening, although I never got to finishing the Baldesion Arsenal so if it happened after that then I wouldn't have seen it.
