Hairstyles preview

[PaulusHamsteru]

I was just talking about this with a friend. It's crazy to me that in 2024 we can't preview hairstyles without buying them.

[Gwen_Lavellan]

We need this, yes !

In addition to this I'd also love to be able to just preview other hairstyles in character creation so that even if you don't like any default styles you know there is something better in-game and as the with the original suggestion ideally have the preview tell you how to get said hairstyles.

(I'd also love the ability to dye hair because some races are extremely limited in their colours.)

[Morphiana]

Yeah, this would be great. It would also be great to let you preview "locked" hairstyles (until you get them or unlock the ability to change hair in the game itself) in the character creator.

we still need hairstyle previews

leave a like if you want it too or if you want to support your friends in the game who wants it

Back here again to give my support, there should be a preview available.

[Loggos]

Absolutely. Bought hairstyles I ended up never using because as it turned out they looked terrible on my char. Some of them cost several million gil.

I farmed a hairstyle way back years ago and it was a slog...I put it on and was instant regret lol I should have sold it and made some gil as it looked better on other races.

Considering how many of the hairstyles we got lately are locked behind endgame (at that time) content and thereby only available via gil for many (Variant Dungeons, Chaotic Raid) or dependent on RNG (Treasure Maps), not to mention the ones in the store requiring acutal money, we really need a preview feature!

Yes, I can google stuff, but the images rarely show me what it would look like on my characters, with the faces, feature combo and glam I chose, nor how it looks with in game lighting. Please make all hairstyles available for preview in the character creator, at least the limited one from Jandeleine, so we know what we have to expect before we spent real money or 10+ mil gil for them. (Adding the info on how to get them would be nice as well. If you want to keep it vague and not spoiler specific duties or so, just write e.g. "Variant Dungeon" instead of Alo Alo or so.)

Just recently I spent a lot of gil on that new short wavy hairstyle for an alt, after I've seen it on some other people with different face types. Turned out it looked great in a vacuum, but made her head look absurdly tiny because of the buggy oversized armor Hrothgals have to deal with. (Because she is still in Heavensward MSQ-wise, she was nowhere near acquiring it "naturally".) A lot of gil down the drain. I really don't need this with other hairstyles, especially not the ones only available for actual real money, that aren't even account wide.

I will always support this thread because I would like to try the new hairstyle before I carry on putting myself through the hell of the new chaotic or saving and paying for it...I want to try before I buy.
