Body Hair for males.

[Yamimarik]

males in Eorzea do not naturally have body hair

you will need to see a doctor for that sorry!

And you know this how? lol it can very well be a part of Eorzea if SE will just implement it. /nuffsaid

And you know this how? lol

by looking around

point out ONE male in eorzea that naturally has body hair?

Obviously it isn't implemented yet, like I said it can if SE so will it.

yes, which, as I said, means males in Eorzea do not NATURALLY have body hair, you will need a DOCTOR to get it...

Really not sure how this is helpful for either side of the coin here... so just going to ignore you now.

Moving onward! Let's see some more support people! Men need to look like men~

men in real life look like what you call men because they NATURALLY have body hair

men in Eorzea do not have body hair naturally, so they look like Eorzean men, not real life men

They do, even without hair. 70's are over, were it was "cool" to look like a wandering temple of pubic lice. x_X

Well.. on a serious Note. I dont see why SE could not implement this feature, for people who really want it. They created some great pieces of facial hair, so body hair should be possible. So +1 to this Thread.

Actually they do, the normal map resolution is sadly just very low on 2.0's character models, therefore the detail is lost.

What is a Normal Map?

A Normal Map is usually used to fake high-res geometry detail when it's mapped onto a low-res mesh. The pixels of the normal map each store a normal, a vector that describes the surface slope of the original high-res mesh at that point. The red, green, and blue channels of the normal map are used to control the direction of each pixel's normal.

When a normal map is applied to a low-poly mesh, the texture pixels control the direction each of the pixels on the low-poly mesh will be facing in 3D space, creating the illusion of more surface detail or better curvature. However, the silhouette of the model doesn't change.

An example of a higher resolution normal map from 1.23 shows that that the detail is there (it just gets lost with the lower resolution normal maps);

The character models for FFXIV are actually very very low poly models, with fantastic work done on applying the normal/specularity maps for each model.
