Final Fantasy 14 Might Have Unintentionally Revealed a New Hairstyle

Alright, so I’m diving into this whole Final Fantasy 14 buzz, and let me tell you, things are quite spicy in the realm of virtual hairstyles. During the 88th Letter from the Producer (fancy title, right?), folks are all over social media, chatting about this new hairdo. Apparently, some eagle-eyed fan spotted it lurking in a preview, kinda hidden with the armor for this new alliance raid thing called San d’Oria: The Second Walk. Why do I remember “San d’Oria”? No idea, but it stuck.

So, Naoki Yoshida, the big cheese behind FF14, spilled some beans during this livestream or whatever. Patch 7.3, dubbed The Promise of Tomorrow—sounds dramatic—drops on August 5. They say it’ll wrap up the main Dawntrail story arc. I mean, props to the writers keeping us on our toes! New storylines and all. Plus, there’s all this new content coming. A deep dungeon called Pilgrim’s Traverse, Yok Huy quests—a lot going on.

Oh, backtracking to the hairstyles—these fans noticed a medium-length style that might’ve been part of some contest. Reddit’s all over this stuff. Someone named Pinkbunnies66 (fantastic name) spotted this on a female miqo’te character model, sporting armor from the San d’Oria raid. The hair’s got this nifty highlight on the inside—probably gives your character a whole fresh look in the game. Or maybe I’m just easily impressed—who knows.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting—I mean, if you’re into this kind of drama. There was this rumor flying around. Apparently, Patch 7.15 already slipped in a hairdo from the same design contest, called A Half Times Two. How clever, right? You snag it by trading Clouddark Demimateria II from some raid or just snag it with Gil on the market. Handy if raiding’s not your jam.

Anyway—no, wait, where was I? Oh yeah! So, folks are speculating if this hairdo will really show up in The Promise of Tomorrow’s update. But hey, FF14 is known for rolling out new looks with major updates, so why not?

I guess only time will tell if this new rumor turns into reality. Or maybe it’s all just speculation—gamers sure know how to keep things buzzing!
