Give Highlanders eyebrows already

[Theodric]

well unless you can really present a solid case to the devs it's not gonna change anytime soon. it's baked into the main lore of the game. not something to be changed on a whim just because "i wanna have them".

It doesn't even make sense from a lore perspective, since not every Highlander is even from Ala Mhigo in the first place. Nor do they necessarily care for it. Also note that Highlander women mysteriously aren't subjected to the same limitations. I'm sure the development team know full well that it wouldn't be a popular limitation on the female model, though unfortunately that didn't stop them where the male model is concerned.

It's also been a common request for them to be added right from the launch of the game.

On my end, I'm never giving up the fight and I suggest others rally around the cause as well - Highlander men have a pretty nice physique but there's only two faces I see used on average (one of which is much more popular than the other) and even then the lack of eyebrows just discourages many people from playing one.

It's like how Elves are among the most popular character choice in other MMO's but they're not in FFXIV - in large part due to inelegant, weird proportions for the model and their animations.

ESPECIALLY WARRIOR OF LIGHT HIGHLANDERS who appear to have no direct ties to Eorzea at all, let alone ala mhigo specifically, with the way the msq is written. Also Ala Mhigo has been liberated for a while now they can let their eyebrows grow out again. Maybe the real reason is one of the artists is a big fan of super saiyan 3 from dragonball.

Yep! Well said!

I actually started playing the game as a Highlander (hence my forum name). I've tried to play one a few times since that point and I love how tall and beefy they are. Yet every time I end up going back playing a Midlander because the lack of Highlander eyebrows just ends up bothering me way too much to stick with it.
