Namely stubble for Midlander men and the other playable races that could make it work.
People embrace niche because they often have zero options for what they want. Those who want generic customization (as in found in every game ever, not that I mean generic in a bad way) have multiple options for it already in the base vanilla game. I.e. there was no option at all for a male race that is shorter (slightly lol) than the females. There was no option for a thinner males as all FFXIV males are pretty muscular. There is multiple choices for taller males. There is a plethora of options for facial hair, even if you don't personally like those options.

So really, you just want more on top of what you already have while those who have nothing just have to conform to your ideals? Weird.

Also, a completely moot point now because they just said in the Q&A they are working on the stubble.

Double also, male Viera aren't niche. They are tall and handsome and about as niche as male K-pop stars. Which as it turns out, isn't very niche at all.

Hopefully, if the female Viera come out with some of the unlockable hairstyles, male Viera will too. I really love the Gold Saucer adventurer haircut and the Styled for Hire! I swear though that the bench mark does have some unlockable hairstyles, as I was certain that I ran the benchmark with the Gold Saucer hair on my Elezen.
