Square Enix has revealed the winners of the FFXIV Hairstyle Design Contest 2023. Due to the volume of “splendid” entries into the contest, Square Enix increased the number of winners to 40.
The winners of the FFXIV Hairstyle Design Contest 2023 will receive a pair of cosmetic Fat Cat Earrings for their avatars to wear in-game. Participants entered a variety of hairstyles borrowed from different cultures and utilized different hair textures and lengths to create many different looks.
The winning hairstyles designed by FFXIV users around the world can be viewed below:
While not guaranteed, Square Enix stated that if an entry has been deemed excellent, they may implement the style into the game in the future. Entries that were not selected as winners may also be implemented in the future. Designs submitted in the contest can also be adjusted by the development team if they are added to FFXIV.
The designs implemented will be a style offered to every available in-game race. Recently, FFXIV Patch 6.51 added the Bold and the Braid hairstyle into the game for players to obtain through completing the Aloalo Island dungeon and collecting Aloalo Potsherds.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. Final Fantasy XIV will be releasing on Xbox Series X in Spring 2024.
