MEGATHREAD: Requested Hairstyles & Facial Hair

[MikkoAkure]

After costuming as Hilda in the Halloween event, I wonder if we don't have Hilda's hair yet because her swept bangs are tucked behind one of her ears and it would look awkward on miqo'te, viera, and hrothgar who don't have ears there and would have a random bald patch with floating hair.

I don't think so, there's multiple hairstyles that add strands of hairs where the lack of ears would be noticeable.
They would just have to add a bit more of these on that Hilda's hairstyle.

Male.
Highlander.
Eyebrows.

I rest my case

Bumping with just this.

I won't listen to anybody about their issues with their character's customization options because us Highlanders have been putting drag eyebrow makeup on for years.

It's a request that's been made countless times, and yet they seem to be more focused on adding yet another hairstyle for female characters...

I wouldn't be surprised if they added a new male Highlander face just for eyebrows.

I would honestly take anything at this point...

Reminds me of that interview where someone asked about highlander eyebrows and Yoshi P joked that they "don't have the technology" to do it.

Edit: Out of bitterness, I have dug up the interview.(Source. Translations done by FFXIV discord. )

Q: Why does Highlander males and Roegadyn males have no eyebrows whatsoever!? I want eyebrows for those races too!

A: No, we actually do! The reason why their eyebrows seem thin to the point of looking non-existence is due to its technical specifications but they actually do!

Sounds like just the thing to forget about when going about the 7.0 graphics update!!

"They shave their eyebrows to mourn for Ala Mhigo"

"They shave their eyebrows to look more indimidating in battle!"

"They have eyebrows, they're just really really thin because #PS3limitations™!"

...so which one is it? might as well say "they genetically have no eyebrows because....it fell off due to the intense heat! yeah...and only the males because...reasons"

You Hrothgars are the only other race that know our pain! The real reason is not enough people play the race, so their attention is focused on perfecting each polygon of the female Miqo'te model.

Miqo'te routinely have their ears cut off, and tails outright clipping (or cut off) through everything. I think they are just outright pretty against changing apparent racial pillars, and with highlander males, it's no eyebrows, for some reason. Also, it would require them to actually do work on it.

And yet they had the technology to give Ranjit eyebrows. Turns out half of the development time of Shadowbringers was spent on his model !
