  2. I hope the bold and the braid is actually updated for launch tho. It already looks horrible compared to other styles considering its new.
    I mean I wouldnt mind going back to male viera hair 15 for DT like I have for the benchmark but still. I feel like theres 1000s of other buns with it. And only 100s using bold and braid lol

  3. My character looks so different with the new graphics, not sure if I like it. :') Don't get me wrong the details in texture and all are amazing but I fell so in love with the face of my WOL and now its just not her anymore. Anybody else fell like that?

  4. Kinda sad that my Wol looks so different now, her eyes look kinda dead, like she is not there, gotta get used to it, or just use the free fantasia when the expansion launches…

  5. If anyone wants to see the hair on another race that your main character isn't currently using you can use a Fantasia on your Retainer (very cheap on MB), talk to the NPC <Retainer Vocate> in main cities, select "Change a retainer's appearance and nickname", create your new character the way you want, save when asked "Save Appearance data?" (You don't need to change your retainer appearance so after doing this just go ahead and cancel everything), after this do step 3 onwards that is in the video description.
