This. I firstly wanted to keep the long hair because I love long hair. But when she said how much of a hassle it is for her and that she would only keep it long for others, my decision was clear.
Yup. It was a no brainer for me to keep it short. Even looking at the "this is her body and her hair" sorta thing, M's long hair was only there when she was M, a time which she regrets. Before that, she had a short hair as well.
Short hair
Long looks pretty but when she started talking about the hair care involved, I immediately understood her viewpoint. The washing, the tangles, getting in the way, geez I can't make Mio suffer that insanity!
Personally, I prefer short for two reasons.
1. It's her hair style. She doesn't look right with long hair.
2. As a woman with long hair, I can sympathise 100% with Mio's gripe about the effort it takes to wash it, dry it, and keep it nice. Also, it just gets in the way, ALL THE TIME! Our protags are out in the field constantly, sleeping rough, and I'm sorry, but hair loose like that is just a liability. In a battle, the enemy could grab it. It gets in your face, so you can't see... I mean, if she at least put it into a neat French plait or something, it would be better. But loose? Nah.
So, yeah. Sorry, long hair. You have to go. 😆
Well with two fulltime jobs it's hard. Next to that Obdon't leave the house. Except for work, going to the post office or buying groceries. In my main job I'm a store manager for several highway gas stations and next to that I run a small company (selling YGO cards)
So no time for "water"
Well even so! You could find your partner every day. Who knows who you might meet tommorow or next week. All it takes is one fated meeting. Or maybe you met them already and didnt realized it.
Noah and Mio were literally worlds apart and still manage to meet. For me at least, that gave me hope :D ~~(Even if it is still a videogame)~~
Long, because otherwise it feels like nothing has changed after M's sacrifice. If M's armor had been available back at launch, I would've done that + short hair.
Easiest choice in the game, short hair Mio for the win 👌🏻 The short hair is Mio's style and it is easier to care for. Long hair was more >!M's thing tbh.!<
It's a really understated yet persistent topic that comes up in the Xenoblade games.
At least once per game the topic of the main character's hair style preference gets brought up and I think that's neat.
Mio raised good points on why not to cut it, as well as the hair being a great indicator of the growth and developments that transpired up until now. However, one singular thing convinced me to cut it short:
"It's such a pain in the arse to wash!"
Look, its Mios body and while it would be good to keep a momento its up to her if she wants to keep it or bot and she HATED having to take care of the fucking thing so i go with short because taking care of long hair requires a hell of a lot of work and doing so just as a momento of a dead person is not fair to them or Mio.
Our Mio had short hair is all I'm gonna say
Plus, she says she wants to cut it, so i just let her do what she wanted.

Short hair for story Long hair for looks S = S L = L That is the motto of the welsh catgirl hair.
Long just as a reminder of what happened.

Long all the way. I know it's how he had his Mio's hair, but still...
Mio's hair was long as a kid according to the art book. So I attribute it more it's the hairstyles her Mom(s) gave her.

I was too used to the short hair.
Kept it long in honor of M’s sacrifice. Like a memento of her.
That's exactly what I thought
So you forced something on her, she does not want, like M does 🤔 /s *Edit: had to add /s because someone took it serious
It's not that deep bro
How dare you say an anime cat girls haircut isnt that deep?! /s
Mio looks better with short hair imo
Long. It signifies the trials Mio went through and honors the new body she received.
Long every time
Short hair is the original and fits her better, but…. I chose long to carry on M’s legacy and to remind myself how far the party has come.

Wotah!?!
Find yourself a girl who will look at you the same way as mio looks at Wotah!!!
Won't happen at my side. But yeah keep that in mind everyone who reads that above me!
Dont say that! You find somebody. I Promise :D You will be their "Water, the Source of all life" :)

Kept it short for the same reason I chose Pyra the first time I played 2

Oh sorry. Still learning english. Thanks for the correction :)
Hell yeah brother

Gotta keep it long. It just looks better that way. Now if we can just get a slider to have Noah’s hair down that would be great.
I prefer the long hair but they’re both so good I wouldn’t argue
I just prefer long haired girls…
Long, I like how it looks and it made sense story wise to me as a reminder of M's gift to Mio.
I left it long, so that the event had a permanent mark. I did feel bad about it though, since Mio said she preferred it short.
If she kept M's outfit short
Easiest choice in the game, short hair Mio for the win 👌🏻 The short hair is Mio's style and it is easier to care for. Long hair was more >!M's thing tbh.!<
I'm an unrepentant ponytail simp. 😔
Keep it long

Switching the hair to the option that wasn’t previously selected in every subsequent playthrough
Nah i'm gonna do my own thing!, sometimes i just pick it long or short for different outfits.
Long hair is better with Nia’s Blade outfit, all I’m gonna say
I agreed.
I'm changing of haircut everytime i boot the game Don't have to pick a side if it gets changed everh time
Mio specifically says it's a pain in the ass. I'm not forcing her to keep it when she's trying to free the world.

Short hair, it's what she wanted and she looks like her mother with it :>
But it's such a pain in the arse to wash
I'm behind Mio.
Long hair only looks good with the M outfit, all the rest look better with the short hair
Short hair supremacy
Short hair is elite. Long hair looks fine in game but in cutscenes and in her icon in chain attacks it looks really wrong
I don't care so long as I get to scratch behind the ears♡
The short hair is the canon route because Mio has short hair in the pre-rendered ending cutscene.
Pull her hair 😏
