I thought people were exaggerating/being bitter...but your statement rings true. A lot of the entries uploaded to Tumblr are so much better. Sad

I just wanted a curly hair. Sad I did like a silver screen era curl but really anything but another wavy.

Yeah.  I'm actually pretty pissed.  There are several hairstyles I like much better that apparently didn't make the cut.

Looking through the tumblr tags of all the rejected entries -HURTS-, especially because several of them are actually fairly unique to what we have on offering.
I didn't apply to the contest and I do rather like a good majority of the design ideas; but some of them are either almost identical to one another or look like something someone put together in ten minutes. I just wish they had been clearer about their criteria is all. I can understand that many of the potential designs people were making would be too hard to render for whatever reason. But if that's the case be upfront with it. And a little voting variety wouldn't hurt, even though I know that the cuter hairstyles will prevail.

With that said however, no matter how salty I am I do want to congratulate the people who were picked all the same.

*looks at finalists, looks at hairstyles that I would potentially use or won't mind, sees them with less points than hot topic rejects* Welp, the people of FFXIV have zero taste.

Not only am I disappointed in what was picked for finalists, but I'm disappointed in what's currently winning.

The last I checked, 21 for females was winning? That hairstyle is pretty redundant, imo. It's just a girlier Golden Saucer ponytail that's pulled to the side and over the shoulder.

And then for males, a ~pretty boy~ over-the-eye style is winning. Very close in 2nd place is a frankly tacky, ratty-looking Asian-esque ponytail.

Never thought I could be so let down by both the devs AND the community in one fell swoop...

The more I see of who didn't make it in, the more confused I am about the contest rules, and what they actually graded the entries on.

Here's a link to where people are posting their rejected entries:

Shocking to say the least that some of the tumbler entries didn't make the final cut; some of them are really great.

My favs of the tumbler "rejects" are Summerbrooke's, Scyi, Starinthegutter, Xerevantes, MCAshe, Linnyxito7, Shikiseki, Kukajoo, and Xenedra.

Any idea why this entry was axed?

Have to agree, there are a lot of good-looking, lore-friendly styles there which outstrip most of what was selected: styles I would rather have voted for given the chance.

I've actually gotta agree with Aaron on this one. All the cool styles I would have wanted for my characters are there.

Must really be a cultural preference thing, explaining why the winning ones are what they are.

RE: Hairstyle voting begins! - Gegenji - 09-02-2015

Considering the reactions, I think the best option (if lengthy) would be to have had multiple rounds of voting. First having almost all the hair styles save for duplicates and unfeasible/rule-breaker types and the like, group them by generalized styles... and then vote for a favorite of those. Then have a second vote with all the winners to decide on the actual winning hairstyle.

Would've been a lot of hair to go through and a lot more time spent, though.

It was because someone took a hairstyle from someone's blog post, changed the color, then photoshopped it onto the template.
