AC characters hair, (SHM)

[Strawberry_Mew]

Yes we must worship the hair..j/k but over all I also noticed its very well detailed! n_n

Styling Wax would work much better and it probably would keep its shape even when wet.

I'll take your word for it. (I'm not that expert on hair products that hold one's hair in spikes--if I spiked my hair, the spikes would stand bout two feet from my head. :O_O: ) But styling wax, hair gel, whatever...he still would have to use loads of it. Probably much more than my entire paycheck could buy.

[amratis]

He'd have to use about 2 pots a day, lol, wonder where he gets all that money, he must buy loads of the stuff. I wonder if he wears a hat when he can't be bothered to do it?...

[TheAbominatrix]

Yeah, wax would work. I use glue to keep my own spikes up, or knox brand jello. But when does he do it? He'd have to restyle at least once during the adventure, but when and how? My arms get sooooo tired just doing a mohawk! Cloud must be.... oh wait, he is a super muscled wonder-boy!

Tifa: "Cloud, what's with the hat?"
Cloud: "...The prison guards back in Midgar took my styling gel."
Aerith: "Don't worry Cloud, I have some! Two-inch high bangs dont just appear, ya know!"

[amratis]

I wonder what kind of hat it would be, personally I'm going for the look on Cloud Aeris's hair in AC seems to be not too crazy, then again, we've only seen the bottom half of her hair, so if we see all of her, maybe she still has those 2 inch high fringe bits at the front?

*Kadaj and Cloud are fighting fiercely, they get in to a sword lock and glare at eachother over the blades, then slowly, one of Cloud's spikey locks flops down over his face. A beat*
"Hey Kadaj, really enjoying this fight bit, but just give me a time out will ya?" *runs behind a tree to do hair, a few seconds then he appears again* "Sorry about that, but you know how it is yeah."
Kadaj - "Oh yeah sure I dont mind, the wind plays hell with my fringe sometimes,..... anyway"
* They have at eachother again*

[Destai]

A cool NY cap!(not the baseball sort) With some of his spikes coming down the front (again personal expierience)...Yeah that would be kickass...
Styling wax is extremely strong but hard to get out! I have to use really hot water to melt at it with the water really channeled.

[Silmaril]

Ah, to have hair that looks fabulous even though it probably hasn't been washed for months.

[Palindrome]

What about Rude? He has no hair at all (except for on his back). Ew :whaaa:

Ewww!!!!......*thinks*...Uhhhhh!!! thats just....wrong!

'Perfect hair' is hardly a new Final Fantasy concept. FFVIII is the worst offender, right at the end when (SPOILER)Squall has just fought a fierce battle with a hugely powerful Sorceress, during which he was blasted with Magic and weapons, then travelled through time, then been trapped in a desert-like void beyond time, then had a breakdown and nearly died...
But through all of that, his hair stays shiny and sleek and beyond perfect.
Grr.

When I comb my hair down, it stays that way with the aid of a little gel... but only until a gust of wind catches it, at which point it turns into an afro.

Squall's raiment, indeed that of all FF characters, is grossly misleading.

Someone forgot to mark their spoilers. -- foa

[amratis]

The example you've used of Squall at the end of VIII is a good one, I mean, lets face it, he'd look like complete hell in real life, but his hair is still completely perfect. I remember when the spirits within came out - I read an interview saying that they had enough troubles with getting the hair the way it was without even starting to contemplate showing 'messy' hair (which was even harder apparently)

Perhaps one day technology will advance to the point where we can see messy hair in computer games!

However I fear this will not be the case in AC

[Sword]

In case you didn't know, (SPOILER)Squall dies at the end of FF8. Even if he was still alive he has loads of time to do his hair when he gets back to the Garden.
Anyway... I'm goona try and grow my hair like Kadaj and then dye it silver. Result.

Edit by Big D: Some people haven't played FFVIII yet - mark your spoilers!

[amratis]

Ummm, no actually he doesnt (SPOILER)die....yup. Squall's definetly alive at the end, see look here he is kissing rinoa on the balcony. So how, exactly, is he dead at the end?

Edit by Big D: Spoilers again

[TheAbominatrix]

He's (SPOILER)alive and (SPOILER)well at the end of the game.

"The rumors of my (SPOILER)death have been greatly exaggerated."

I wonder if the thread about this is still around? *goes to look*

Edit by D: Spoilers like you wouldn't believe *explodes*

Another reason for the perfect hair in The Spirits Within was director Hironobu Sakaguchi. Whenever the animators considered mussing up a character's hair, Sakaguchi told them, "no, they have to look perfect - just like real movie stars". That, in my opinion, is the summary of where that movie went wrong. It tried to imitate movies instead of trying to imitate real life. A copy of a copy, you might say.
