Alright everyone time to ask the big questions. Which did you choose? Short or long? I chose long since long hair is cuter to me. And while Mio isn’t my waifu for this game I think she should still look cute. It really goes with her personality.
Long, not because of my preference but for the thematic reasons. We still have Mio, I know it's her body and she should feel at home in it, but I do feel like keeping some piece of M alive, even if it's only the hair she'd given Mio.
@@rushikakkirala948 I liked the symbolism as well and it IS one of the reasons I prefer long. I’m just man(degenerate) enough to admit the cuteness is the main reason.
Short, because it's clearly her actual preference, she just felt like she should keep the long hair out of a sense of obligation to M, which didn't seem like a very good argument in favor. You don't need to change your own preferences just to honor and respect another person. I won't deny I also just prefer short hair, but I would have kept the long hair if it seemed like she wanted to. (She looks good either way.)
...oh my God your right. ...actually that raises a dumb question. How does consul biology work? If they don't age, do they have eat, sleep or take a piss normally? ...yes, this question popped into my brain, especially during the theater
The fact that there is an entire option dedicated to Mio's hair in the configurations menu is oddly hilarious, imagine that Eunie tells her to cut it and then is like "Nah, thinking it better, long hair fits ya" the next day. Cue to the exact opposite conversation happening later and Mio just decides to be bald instead.
Now I wish we could have ponytail Mio as well, and some extra hairstyles for Noah. Though to be honest I would probably just choose long hair or short hair on Mio and Ponytail Noah, anyway
I kept it long. Mostly so I would stop seeing Nia every time I look at Mio but also because I think it looks pretty on her. Helps keep the characters separate in my head and consider them as individuals a little bit more easily when I envision them.
Her complaints exactly same when i said my ex girlfriend that i like long hair, but she still grew her hair, i was shocked when i understood that she grows them, and when i watched this dialog i felt great nostalgia, characters relationships made pretty good here.
I think it's hilarious that's' she's complaining about how hard it is to wash long hair to the girl with wings growing out of her head and the girl who has to worry about steam clouds ejecting from her head every time she takes a shower.
There's actually a pair of side quests in the first Xenoblade about the friendship between two High Entia, a pure blood and a half-Homs, and the former envies the latter for having short wings since they're easier to maintain.
Chose short hair for three reasons: 1. I got attached to it after the first 60 hours of gameplay. 2. I kept seeing the long hair version as M, not Mio, and it was seriously messing with my head. 3. Mio clearly wants to cut it anyway and only hasn’t done so because of the whole M situation… which, while understandable, I think is kind of misplaced because I’m pretty sure M gave Mio her body so she could keep living AS Mio, not an extension of M. All that being said, I’m glad there’s an option to switch between the two.
The real question is if you decide to cut it (like I did) what happens to all that hair? Well they could have braided the hair into 6 seperate braids before the snip therefore they all get one braid each and keep that with them to remember M. Mio gets her short hair back and Ms sacrifice can be remembered.win win.
@@arod9514 basically everything hints to it being the case though. In Nia's hero quest they get a moment alone and Nia goes to tell Mio that she's something before they get interrupted. Nia had a child with Rex. Mio and Nia look identical. M also visits Nia in a flashback.
As a guy who had short hair for years but spend time letting it grow pretty long, I can say Mio is 100% relatable. Fight with my inner urge to cut it every day in some way.
I grew mine out when I was in high school, but I had no idea how to take care of it properly. Washing it wasn't too hard, but it _was_ hard to dry. Ultimately, I donated it to Locks of Love, but my hairdresser had a hard time dealing with all the knots. So anyway, I choose to keep Mio's hair short. You can probably guess why.
Yeah, try me. A guy with long hair for 12 years. It passed my butt. I loved my long hair, but indeed, pain in the ass to wash! Now I'm exact opposite- Shave it completely once a month.
@@movezig5 Oh, this was me down to every detail. I'd spend ages combing and putting products in it, only to still have to roll a dice every morning to see if it looked great or godawful. In the end I cut most of it off, and now try to always have as short hair as possible. So much less hassle.
Same here, as a male once it get past 8 inches. washing it take soooo long. Now I knew why shampoo bottle say lather, rinse, REPEAT. Now I get the joke in The Simpson when Homer say "always repeat" when he had long hair in his mind as a hippy.
1.) Like what Jack Ayers said, CROY BEHBEE BONTENG from Ni No Kuni is your "Navi" with a Welsh accent 2.) Mio is voiced by the same person that voiced Ranni from Elden Ring
Cutting hair in Japanese culture is to denote dramatic, life-altering changes, symbolically cutting away their old self to become a new person, such as finding the strength to end a bad relationship, quitting their job (HUGE deal in Japan) or a variety of other reasons.
@@nuferusi Not really a rant, more like a single sentence or statement. =P But quite a few people don't know this, and it's in my moral alignment to help spread knowledge.
I can’t seem to get it through my head that Noah has long hair. I don’t know why that’s so damn hard to figure out. Eunie bringing up Noah had me so damn confused, like “Df he know about long hair???”. I think I might have the stupid.
I absolutely love this scene. The light atmosphere after such a long string of strong emotional scenes really brings everything back to the center. It's also just a really cool character moment, showing that our heroes have even minor struggles in a day to day basis.
"How'd she ever have the patience !?" M : "Well you know, with a thousand years of souls harvesting, kin murdering and crazy monkey snuffing with N, you've got to take your time and appreciate this kind of stuff."
This is such a cute cutscene. she really hates washing it but she doesn't feel right asking Noah for an answer. my head canon is that we are eunie in this case and we decide what she decides.
I also completely agree with you. The M outfit was actually my favorite outfit on Mio. I honestly liked how hot she looked in that outfit. Thanks Nintendo for not thinking about letting us have fun keeping the cool outfits on characters.
I have the Noah and Mio amiibos and you can get the N and M outfits with them If you don't have the amiibos, you can buy them in some village (I forgot the name just look it up)
On top of pretending to be someone else while knowing her friends were chilling in prison believing they were about to watch her be executed, and having another version of herself essentially deleting herself in a manner meant to cause the greatest possible amount of mental anguish to her partner, she spent the month fighting her hair.
I like how they give you an entire cutscene and option at the end of it to have Mio keep or cut the long hair, only for it to be in settings right after of which hair yoy prefer on her.
Before chapter 6 I thought I liked short hair, after chapter 6 I found I actually liked long hair and finally found out that what I really liked was mio
As someone who use to have long hair, yes, it is an absolute pain the ass the wash and take care of. Needing a new shampoo bottle every 3 days was an absolute pain!
This moment finally made Mio sound human again for the first time since her heat stroke in Fornis in the early hours of the party. It's a rare moment for her since so much of her character is contextualised through her situation in the main story and her Agnian trauma, but this chat doesn't require any of that, and it's something that Mio actually has a strong feeling about.
The bit about it being a pain in the ass to wash is relatable, I’m a dude but I did have long hair through the main bulk of quarantine and a bit after so I know what that feels like. 🤔
I mean, too bad that she goes back to the short hair in some cutscenes making the ‘canon’ decision quite clear, but I think she looks better with long hair and it fits her ouroboros form too!
@@HenshinFanatic well, for every in-game cutscene and battles and such she’ll keep it, that’s something, but for story important moments she does revert sadly. Probably because the longer hair would get in the way of certain camera angles or the like since they did all the work with short hair Mio.
I personally chose short hair because I figured it would've made Mio happier in the long run. Yeah, long hair looks fantastic, but it sounded like she only wanted to keep it to honor M's sacrifice. She's already doing that in spades by vowing to change the world, there's no reason to add additional annoyance on top of that. More importantly, she clearly feels far stronger about how bothersome it is than about how nice it looks. Heck, even in the field conversation, she expresses doubt again if you keep the long hair, but sounds a lot more confident when it's short.
1:13 Eunie: Look, why don't you just ask Noah? Mio: This has nothing to do with him! It's my problem and mine alone. Eunie: Not what I meant, love. I'm all for "girl power" and all that snuff, but frankly he's got the best hair in all of Keves. If anyone would know how to handle locks that long, it's him.
Is there anyone else who honestly thought it was a letdown that the game didn’t let you keep her Moebius M outfit throughout the rest of the game? That outfit actually looked kind of hot on Mio. How the hell did they even get rid of that outfit anyways? That kind of doesn’t make sense. I liked that outfit. I thought it was a nice change of style of look on her.
I chose long hair for most of the game but then switched it to short hair right before taking the plunge to Origin. It just felt right because I got to experience long hair Mio for a long time and have her honor M's descision to grow it before letting Mio move past it and be herself on her final most important mission of her life. But one thing I am dissappointed about ia how abruptly that convo ends. I REALLY wanted to hear Eunie and Sena make the call and see Mio's reaction before rejoining the main group.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq Yeah... Just glad the two were able to make up in the afterlife. Still if N could have thought outside the box a bit he might have been able to redeem some brownie points by acting as a double agent with M while making sure Z was at least majorily inconvenienced.
this scene is like really funny because this is literally how i rationalize if i do things or not. i ask for "permission" from my friends lol also i picked short. the long hair is pretty but it doesn't feel like it's "mio" if that makes sense. we got back the mio we knew, so i feel like she should be allowed to live how she did up to now. just, as "herself." who ever "she" is is up to you but considering i spent the whole game with short hair mio it just made sense
As a dude who had long hair for quite a while, I can confirm. I didn't use any "products" or style it since my hair is just naturally straight, but god DAMN did it ever take time to wash.
I kept it long simply because we spent the game up to this point with short hair and this was a new profile. Also, everyone else in the party has short hair.
At the time, I didn't know you could change between the 2 any time you want, so when I was first given the option to choose, I was having such a hard time deciding. They both look great on her!
I know this is supposed to be a light-hearted scene and all, and i am aware that i am overthinking this, but for overthinkings sake, I theorise that the answer to 'how did M maintain that long-@$$ hair' is that she didn't. Think about it, in every single lifetime, Mio always has short hair, be it for practical and/or stylistic purposes. And we know that Mio does care about the later because of that braid she has whose purpose is simply being aesthetically pleasing and cute. However, M has long hair, and it isn't tied up or stylised or anything. Moreover, I don't think it would be a stretch to say M was likely severely depressed and depression makes maintaining and taking care of yourself bloody difficult. I think M only washed and took care of her hair very irregularly and only if she had to make a public appearance. When Mio is talking about taking care of hair, she is referring to the constant, daily upkeep necessary for long hair, which only gets draining after much repetition. if you take care of your hair once a month, that problem is non-existent.
I wish they told you that you could change it later, because I picked long hair because it symbolizes the events but I regretted it and played the rest of the main story with long hair mio
Alright everyone time to ask the big questions. Which did you choose? Short or long?

Helps keep the characters separate in my head and consider them as individuals a little bit more easily when I envision them.
I kept it long cause I thought it would be cute if Mio was complaining about her long hair but still kept it cause Noah likes it

I kept it short because I'll always be able to sense Nia's behaviour anywhere and Mio just looks kind of cute with her short hairstyle.

It just felt right because I got to experience long hair Mio for a long time and have her honor M's descision to grow it before letting Mio move past it and be herself on her final most important mission of her life.
But one thing I am dissappointed about ia how abruptly that convo ends. I REALLY wanted to hear Eunie and Sena make the call and see Mio's reaction before rejoining the main group.
I left it long because it felt a visible change in her life. A new page I might say.
that was the hardest decision of my snuffing life cause I thought I couldn´t switch Haircut afterwards
im seeing so much clips from xenoblade, im almost playing it.
I wish they made the M armor also available for the player as a costume alongside the long hair.
I kept it because it lets her be different than nia who pretty much looks just like her when her hair is short
Lost the will to live after being reborn as Mobius,
but boy does she take good care of that hair.
I kinda took it more as a sign of M no longer caring. She lets her hair grown long out of neglect for herself. Not because she thinks it looks better.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq That may be... But the hair is still in amazing condition. Good genes maybe.
@@nathanielpetersen275 Either that or N made a habit of brushing it for her. Make how she felt about THAT scene as you will.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq Yeah... Just glad the two were able to make up in the afterlife.
Still if N could have thought outside the box a bit he might have been able to redeem some brownie points by acting as a double agent with M while making sure Z was at least majorily inconvenienced.
I love u mio.... And everyone too
Oh this is going to be flat out painful when I get to this choice, both look good to me.
Mio clearly wants to cut it. But idk, I think we need a reminder that it's M's body
If only ponytail option was a thing
this scene is like really funny because this is literally how i rationalize if i do things or not. i ask for "permission" from my friends lol
also i picked short. the long hair is pretty but it doesn't feel like it's "mio" if that makes sense. we got back the mio we knew, so i feel like she should be allowed to live how she did up to now. just, as "herself." who ever "she" is is up to you but considering i spent the whole game with short hair mio it just made sense
Long hair may be a pain in the ass but feathers are still a bitch to dry
in the end it do not matter since you can change it in the game setting
Why not wash it with wotah
Wo’ah?
Wadder
Damn. I feel that title. Washing my hair doubles the length of time it takes to shower.
As a dude who had long hair for quite a while, I can confirm. I didn't use any "products" or style it since my hair is just naturally straight, but god DAMN did it ever take time to wash.
Kept it long because it makes for a nice variation: Sena=Short, Eunie=Shoulder length, Mio=long.
I work in service sector where you absolutely cannot grow your hair too long. I miss having long hair back in highschool
I’m a man with hair down to the bottom of my neck, and Mio’s right. It IS a pain in the ass to wash.😂
I kept it long simply because we spent the game up to this point with short hair and this was a new profile.
Also, everyone else in the party has short hair.
I wish she unlocked the M costume after this, it's a shame she only has it for one battle
I kept her hair long, but it ends up short in the ending cutscenes either way without explanation.
Meanwhile sena her hair is *Literally* constantly on fire
I can only imagine what it must be like for Brigid to wash her hair. It’s long AND on fire.
and this is where the real civil war starts
Manana has the best reaction here
I did not know you can change it under Options
I had to google what Latrine meant... Short hair.
I chose short hair because I have long hair and know the pain of taking care of it.
This was a harder choice to make than between Pyramid and Mythria
I had long hair when I was a teen. It is kinda a pain but now I shave my head every morning and this is also a pain lol
At the time, I didn't know you could change between the 2 any time you want, so when I was first given the option to choose, I was having such a hard time deciding. They both look great on her!
I know this is supposed to be a light-hearted scene and all, and i am aware that i am overthinking this, but for overthinkings sake, I theorise that the answer to 'how did M maintain that long-@$$ hair' is that she didn't.
Think about it, in every single lifetime, Mio always has short hair, be it for practical and/or stylistic purposes. And we know that Mio does care about the later because of that braid she has whose purpose is simply being aesthetically pleasing and cute. However, M has long hair, and it isn't tied up or stylised or anything. Moreover, I don't think it would be a stretch to say M was likely severely depressed and depression makes maintaining and taking care of yourself bloody difficult. I think M only washed and took care of her hair very irregularly and only if she had to make a public appearance. When Mio is talking about taking care of hair, she is referring to the constant, daily upkeep necessary for long hair, which only gets draining after much repetition. if you take care of your hair once a month, that problem is non-existent.
I love how Manana just turns around
the bigger question is UH HELLO WHY CAN I NOT KEEP THE COOL OUTFIT
Queen Ranni
I wish we could have the Consul outfit tbh
As a dude with long hair, yeah long hair is a PAIN IN THE ARSE
Ladies, this is why yall should go for the bobcut !!! It’s superior in every way !!!!
I wish they told you that you could change it later, because I picked long hair because it symbolizes the events but I regretted it and played the rest of the main story with long hair mio
