Give Highlanders eyebrows already

[Riardon]

i hear arguments about "lore"

but the entire point of your character is that you can give them whatever backstory they want. what's so wrong about having a male highlander who does not observe that particular custom/tradition and does not shave their eyebrows? and this presents another oddity: why do the highlanders of the 1st shave their eyebrows? i thought the cultures of each race were supposed to have drastically diverged from one another compared to their counterparts on the source.

It makes sense when you develop and need to use the same models to cut costs and time.
Also people would scream they want to use the eyebrows on their characters as well.
See what happened with the midlanders stubble that was shown in benchmark and in promo (in-game videos) and it's still not in game.
They still trying to figure a way to implement it according to Yoshi in a recent interview.
The game's engine and code is utter trash and won't allow for such additions easily.
Perhaps another Dalamud event to allow a relaunch with a new engine or a new Online FF made from scratch could allow things we always wanted.

If it really is an engine and code issue, they could just as easily make a facepaint option that Actually looks like eyebrows and not caterpillars on my Highlander's face. Honestly, the longer it goes without my race of choice having a base cosmetic issue, the more jaded I become about it.
