The Glamour options FFXIV needs: Glammable hairstyles and facial features!

[Eisi]

Your glamour is awesome.

Thank you fellow Hellsguard ♥

I care about Glam a bunch which is why this issue with the hair and makeup comes up for me a lot

[Siddiax]

I'm all for this getting implemented, since I don't really want to have the same hairstyle on my healer that I use with my tank outfit.

An actual solution would be to allocate resources to fixing the technical issue and I would personally be all for it!

Additional hairstyles are no solution at all unfortunately

I won't say it isn't possible. Highly unlikely in the present time, but certainly not impossible in the near future. I once thought they would never actually add flying to ARR zones, and they did it. And when thinking in terms of the next 10 years as the dev team claims they are, then I do think that this is something that they will need to eventually address.

However, the gravity of this project needs to be understood. The dev team is already in a kind of debt as the game is still owed female Hrothgar, and both sexes for Viera and Hrothgar need their CC brought up to at least where the other races are at. They need to accomplish these things before they can even think about revamping the CC and glamour systems as both would need to take place in order to fulfill just this hairstyle-->glamour plate request. And this was precisely why I opposed adding any new races prior to Viera and Hrothgar, and now here we are.

Due to the enormity of the task, my proposed solution was more hairstyles. I recognize the juxtaposition with that, but I mentioned updos specifically because they prevent clipping while still giving the impression your avatar has long hair. It's a compromise, which is something we as players must do.

I agree, I think the best thing for the health of the game would be to finish Viera and Hrothgar first, it is the more pressing need. Female Hrothgar > Viera/Hrothgar headgear > better character customization options for Hrothgar and then all other races > Hairstyle/Makeup on glamplates. That's how I would rank those customization issues personally in terms of importance for the game.

Would be nice if the graphical overhaul came along with a bunch of those, I sense it might be a great chance to tackle some technical issues along with it!

That is one of the compromises I mentioned:

2. they compromise by using just a generic hairstyle and makeup selection for every glam, which doesn't achieve the possible greatness of a more refined style for each glam OR

You want a better generic hairstyle which you can use for all glams, right? I see your issue and hope you get a non-clipping long-hair style which you aesthetically prefer over the ones we currently have.

For me personally that's not an issue I have and my problem would not be addressed by adding new hairstyles.
