Good morning my friends at square enix, I am writing here today to explain to you how real eyebrows have the possibility to grow on the forehead of a male highlander. Below will be a guide to walk you through this process.
Part 1) Introduction: What is an eyebrow?
The eyebrow is an area of thick, delicate hairs above the eye that follows the shape of the lower margin of the brow ridges of some mammals. Their main function is hypothesized to prevent sweat, water, and other debris from falling down into the eye socket, but they are also important to hyur communication and facial expression. It is not uncommon for people to modify their eyebrows by means of hair addition, removal, makeup, tattoo, or piercings.
Part 2) Eyebrows, yeah so what?
Naturally, eorzeans grow eyebrows on their foreheads, so they may not seem like a big deal to most people. However, there is a group of very unfortunate individuals who have been forced to shave their eyebrows against their will by the gods of Eorzea... These people are known as Highlanders.
Part 3) The Solution
The poor highlander has been forced to endure the shame of a barren forehead by the gods of lore... What can be done about this injustice..? Ah Eorzea, a realm filled with thousands, or perhaps millions of warriors of light... Being one of these special warriors would seem like it would release a man from these shackles of "lore", and would raise him above the rest of his peers, right? So the solution is a simple one. Allow the highlanders to be free. Do not fear what you don't understand. Release the seal, release the beast from their foreheads.
Seems like a simple task, right?

Ok.
I posted it on the japanese forums. I'm sure they'll get a laugh out of it at least! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

It goes against Highlander lore to have eyebrows.

I just tell my highlander friend to put a bag over his head.

06-30-2015, 02:51 AMKelgMaybe if every highlander had eyebrows. Not all people of a culture follow their traditions.Quote:

06-30-2015, 02:52 AMPlumpyMcduffNo it doesn't... just because the culture calls for Highlanders to shave their eyebrows to appear more intimidating to their foes... doesn't mean we can't play Highlanders that're counter-cultural who refuse to shave their eyebrows.Quote:

I support this topic, as you can see I am a midlander, but I one day dream of ascending to the highlands with eyebrows on head.

signed.
Highlanders really should have eyebrow options.
Keeper of the Moon Females have almost non existent eyebrows too. If I use any shade of hair that isn't the darkest you can't even see them.. :(
More eyebrow options for everyone would be nice (like being able to have black or brown eyebrows with blonde/light color hair) -

Eyebrows for Highlanders are long over due, what is the holdup?

Grekumah? Bayohne? Anyone?
Please pass this on to the devs. It is a simple request that will make a world of difference for highlander players. -

on the other hand, when do we get to create a character that looks like Raubahn?
-

07-03-2015, 03:19 PMKelgThe pictures aren't perfect, I am not the best at photoshop. The artists of this game could of course do better. /shrugQuote:
