And I still find these older hairstyles more serving to the theme of fantasy and uniqueness than some of the hairstyles we’ve been getting in FFXIV. Just because I don't bring something up that I care about in my initial post doesn't mean I can't talk about it later on if I choose.

Having played both MMOs for 7+ years, I've changed my hairstyle in XIV significantly more often than I have in WoW, simply because most races only have a few decent hairstyles.

This is not an argument against the addition of better hairstyles. It is a statement in support of them, so that the both of us can have more to choose from that is to our liking.

In fact, there's a total of 11 hairstyles from the same contest already available ingame. So a good chunk of hairstyles weren't even designed by the company that you're complaining about.

There are people to this day who feel that the hairstyle design contest was a bad idea in retrospect, and that some of those hairstyles weren’t recreated as faithfully as they could’ve been. It has also taken an unusually long time to finish implementing them all, with the ones that we have received outside of these still falling in line with gender neutral, short to mid-length styles that both genders are complaining about.

The game definitely has room for improvement in several areas, texture quality being one of them. However, it's a bit silly to complain about that, considering Yoshi-P has already announced a significant texture update coming in 7.0.

A texture upgrade isn’t going to change how long or how unique these pre-existing styles are. New hairs tailored to the wants of each gender however would do something to remedy the current situation. If they would have to be locked to their respective genders, then that is a trade off I'm willing to accept.

You're practically fuming in here. It's honestly fun to watch
