We need more beards especially for midlander hyur males as it is the race of my main since the start and haven't been changed since. I created and worked on alts for glamour and looks since hyur males get screwed on most stuff.
Beard. あごひげ.

And yes, simply posting something in Japanese doesn't mean you can actually understand it. To prove my point, I posted the original English message into Google Translate and got the exact message OP posted here, although it's mostly correct anyway apart from a few errors.
That said, there's nothing wrong with trying to reach out to Yoshi-P and the team this way, and I do agree that more beard options are always welcome. -

(Also I'm not sure, but I assume that's DRK relic armour he's wearing.) -

Focus on the Beard, not in the Desu;
Thanks. -
10-17-2019, 11:46 AMHirskuwilI have to agree with @Kahnom here. Even someone with a rudimentary knowledge of Japanese (and yes, even if such knowledge came from a long term interest in anime) would know that -desu is not used as an honorific. To claim that someone has to be fluent in a language to be able to correct basic mistakes is a bit much. You don't need to be able to understand a whole scientific journal article to know that they used "their" instead of "there", or that they meant "science" when they wrote "sience", and you could still tell them as such.Quote:

So the likelihood is OP didn't prove any knowledge of Japanese at all. Don't get me wrong, Google Translate is an amazing tool, especially when you just want to get the gist of something, but it does tend to translate things word for word when that wouldn't really be appropriate. Case in point 「親愛なる」for "Dear", which would be weird to use with someone you weren't actually familiar with, and also translating "bring more beards" as 「持ってきて」, or literally bringing (as in "please bring a box/cake/[other physical item]"). The nuances are somewhat lost. Also cultural differences are ignored, for instance in English you might end an exchange by thanking someone in advance for what you are asking them to do, while in Japanese you would end by reiterating the "Please". If the OP was wanting to directly send the message to YoshiP I would be inclined to go with something like this:
吉田さんへ、
無理なお願いをしてすみませんが、ヒゲのスタイルにもっとオプションをお願いします。たくさんのNPCは素敵なヒゲがあるんですけどプレイヤー達はとても醜いヒゲしかありませんよ。NPCのヒゲも選択できればいいと思います。さらに、そんな顔の特徴を特定の顔に限らない方がいいでしょうね。
よろしくお願いします、
Domn
That being said, I only have N2 in Japanese, and have only lived in Japan for four years so far, so it's not like I'm fluent yet (and can't write business emails very well at all!) XD And at the end of the day, I'm sure it's not YoshiP himself (or any of the team who only speak Japanese) who would be looking at the English forums for ideas anyway! But just in case, more beards please. お願いします〜
