What's with the weird beard "shine" on male roegadyn and hrothgars?

[Eldtagg]

It also happens to my male midlander, who has the "old face" and has black hair.

His afro lookS fine , but his beard has this strange gloss on it that looks awful to be honest.

The beard issue is visible even on the lodestone picture (below), but it looks way worse ingame (small indie company, look forward to 8.0, I know...)

Oh, so it's a lot worse than I thought. That's a bummer.

Absolute injustice

I have a feeling this is the kind of issue that will go unresolved forever, lol.

New patch and all that, and this still isn't fixed. It's only been 276 days, more if you count all the "testing" done with the Benchmark.

Nearly a year since I posted this... and still no fix.

Did you actually post it in bug reports? It's this side of the forum.
Here..
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...2-In-Game-Bugs

Maybe structure it something like this...
Report Template : https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/65378
Example of mine though it's of an environment bug: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...pper-La-Noscea
Example of NPC bug : https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-when-blinking

I know the gap in the water has been fixed, I didn't check on Yotsuyu. (they don't move some threads to resolved/fixed often)

Worst case scenario is that it'd get thrown into 'not a bug' (and it's a feature of the lighting engine), then at least you'd know it won't be fixed.
I'd say things like lighting, weather, maybe time of day might be important/different angles etc. If it's a cutscene then saying which cutscene it is and so on.

It could get accepted/planning to address but you won't know when, but at least it's on their radar depending on how high/low of a priority it is. If it's affecting player/npc models I think it might be higher priority.
