The 15 Most Outrageous Final Fantasy Hairstyles, Ranked
By David Perry
Reno – Final Fantasy VII
Reno has ridiculous hair on two different accounts, both color and shape. First off, his hair is a bright red, a stark difference to just about everyone else in the world of Final Fantasy VII. Besides this though Reno’s hair has an unnatural spikiness to it, which would probably be fine if he didn’t have that ponytail running all the way down his back. It just looks….. odd.
Warrior of Light – Final Fantasy
Now The Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy does hide most of his hair beneath his helmet, but the wavy locks spilling out shows he sure has a tone of it. It basically just looks like an unkempt mess, that would really get in the way when you’re in the middle of a battle.
Gladio – Final Fantasy XV
Gladiolus’ hair is almost like a mullet taken to the extreme. It’s all slicked back on the top and looks relatively cool, but if you look at the back of his head it’s a spiky mane that runs down to his back. It oddly resembles a smaller version of Goku’s ridiculous Super Saiyan III hair.
Sazh – Final Fantasy XIII
Sazh’s hair is all that strange in and of itself, after all he’s sporting a pretty sweet afro. It does have a bit of an odd shape, however. Even more than that is the fact that a baby chocobo chick lives inside Sazh’s hair at all times. To have a bird living up there and not have your hair get messed up at all, is an impressive feat.
Zack – Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Everything that Cloud Strife did with his hair, Zack basically did on the back of his head. Throughout Crisis Core Zack goes through two distinct hairstyles, but either way they’re both pretty ridiculous. His finely feathered first haircut seems a little too perfect for a Soldier, while the second juxtaposes a ton of spike out of the back of his head. That had to take a lot of product.
Noctis – Final Fantasy XV
Noctis’ hair may not seem to strange on first glance, but the more you look at it the more it seems to defy gravity. The front of his hairstyle sees Noctis’ hair getting all in his face even hugging the sides of it, which honestly must be pretty annoying. Meanwhile the back unnaturally curves up and down at the same time. That’s some amazing hold.
Marche – Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Anime and video game characters oftentimes have alien looking strands of hair sticking out, but boy Marche is something else. The main character of Tactics Advance has not one, but two lengthy bending strands of hair sticking out. This seems unwieldy has either strand could easily get stuck in a door or somewhere else.
Amarant – Final Fantasy IX
It’s hard to even say what’s going on with Amarant’s hair, as it looks to be some massive dreadlocks. The only problem is the dreadlocks shoot straight back, instead of falling down around his head. He also has a spiky read pharaoh looking beard that sticks straight out. In-game his hair even looks like literally half the size of his body.
Seymour – Final Fantasy X
Seymour Guado takes the cake with ridiculous hairstyles, and he takes it by a wide margin. This is easily one of the most absurd pieces of hair in any video game ever. The weird wavy strand sticking out of the top of Seymour’s head is bad enough, but then you have two giant antlers that stick out of the side and travel down his body. What even is this.
15. Reno - Final Fantasy VII
Reno has ridiculous hair in both color and shape. First off, bright red. A stark contrast to just about everyone else in the world of Final Fantasy VII. Besides this, though, Reno's hair has an unnatural spikiness to it, which would probably be fine if he didn't have that ponytail running all the way down his back.
14. Warrior of Light - Final Fantasy, Dissidia
The Warrior of Light's hairstyle is a little hard to see under that crazy horned helmet he always wears, but it's clear that underneath is a messy head of hair. It spills out everywhere, and looks like it'd really get in the way during battle. Even weirder is the fact that it's exactly the same color as whatever is sprouting out the back of his helmet.
13. Gladiolus Amicitia - Final Fantasy XV
Gladiolus' hair is a mullet taken to the extreme. It's all slicked back on the top, looking relatively cool, but if you peek at the other side of his head, you'll find a spiky mane that runs down to his back. It oddly resembles a smaller version of Goku's ridiculous Super Saiyan III hair.
12. Sazh Katzroy - Final Fantasy XIII
Sazh's hair isn't strange in and of itself, but we are impressed with its dual function as a Chocobo nest.
11. Zack Fair - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Everything that Cloud Strife did with his hair, Zack basically did on the back of his head. Throughout Crisis Core, Zack goes through two distinct hairstyles; the first is a finely feathered haircut too perfect for a Soldier, and the second features spikes shooting out the back of his head.
10. Noctis Lucis Caelum - Final Fantasy XV
Noctis' hair may not seem to strange on first glance, but the more you look at it, the more it seems to defy physics. The front drops down over all of his face without even hugging the sides of it. Meanwhile the back somehow manages to curve up and down at the same time.
9. Amarant Coral - Final Fantasy IX
It's hard to even say what's going on with Amarant's hair -- it looks to be some massive dreadlocks. The only problem is that the dreadlocks shoot straight back, defying the very universe. He also has a spiky, red, pharaoh-looking beard shooting out of his chin. Not to mention in-game, his hair is half the size of his body.
8. Kuja - Final Fantasy IX
Kuja is a strange character in many ways, but his hair is one of the strangest. Multiple strands seem to stick out of his head by their own free will, but the real star is his giant forehead feather.
7. Marche Radiuju - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
While anime and video game characters oftentimes have alien hairs sticking out, boy Marche is something else. The main character of Tactics Advance has not one, but two lengthy, bending strands flying outwards from his skull. Aside from being absurd, this seems tactically poor, as either strand could easily get stuck in a door or something.
6. Cloud of Darkness - Final Fantasy III, Dissidia
Cloud of Darkness has some weird magic power going on, but regardless, her hairstyle is a mess. Strands of her coif point every which way with unnatural balance. Then in the final battle with her, the hair just goes Super Saiyan.
5. Wakka - Final Fantasy X
Wakka is well remembered for his single, heaven-reaching spike. We presume that bandana helps... somehow.
4. Kefka Palazzo - Final Fantasy VI
It's honestly hard to say just what's going on with Kefka's hair. The greased back yellow runs back into a knot, and then morphs into a giant plume of absurdity.
3. Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII
Cloud is the original spiky haired video game hero. His hair is at its most ridiculous point in the original PS1 version of Final Fantasy VII, but even through Advent Children it's a strange sight. Giant spikes stick out every direction, just daring gravity to try and do something about it.
2. Ultimecia - Final Fantasy VIII
Ultimecia takes a page out of Bayonetta's book, turning her hair into some ridiculous display piece. Not only does she have two long strands going down, she's weaved her hair into two dangerous looking spikes you'd definitely want to avoid. .
1. Seymour Guado - Final Fantasy X
Seymour Guado takes the cake with ridiculous hairstyles, and he takes it by a wide margin. It's almost impossible to really describe what's going on with Seymour's hair, but he definitely looks like some kind of mythical creature with two antlers and a spike sprouting out of the side and front of his head.
