Petition to fix Miqo'te Face 2 Eyebrows

[Tahli]

It should be stated that there was a specific line in the official Lodestone response to character graphics feedback.

"Most feedback received on eyelashes and eyebrows falls into the previous category, but we've found that many players are satisfied with the current resolution and shapes. Therefore, we will take caution when proceeding with adjustments."

In the case of Female Miqo'te Face 2, many of us strongly disagree with this assumption. Patiently waiting for something that is clearly broken to be fixed in the 7.1 update is very different from "satisfied." Since the 7.1 update had passed with no changes to our features, this petition felt needed.


So please, Square Enix, make our eyebrows closer to how they originally looked. The shape, the length, the width, the angle, the color and softening gradient at parts where hairs should be thinner. The effort would be very much worth it, and I hope we can look at a future update to this and tell you thanks for fixing this issue.

The eyebrows being too dark for the selected hair color is SO frustrating. I use face 4 and it makes my eyebrows basically invisible with white hair

Yeah, that's another really obvious issue that I'm just surprised hasn't been fixed yet.

I talked about the same issue (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/502629)

It's unbelieveably frustrating. It CANNOT be that difficult to fix.

It's not difficult at all...

I did a search for this on YouTube just now to see if anyone had made a video about "Miqo'te female keeper of the moon face 2 eyebrow" and somebody has made a video about how to fix it...

Have you thought about shaving your character's eyebrows off? Seems to have worked out well for male Highlanders. :0

Could be an improvement if it was an option, LOL

Faces have not been adressed and I'm starting to be very annoyed as they seem to progress to worse... New eyebrows, and lips, more than anything, are terribly bad I'm stopping my suscription again for a while so I'll use my days left on the forums to keep complaining xD
PLEASE SE fix faces as you promised!

Every patch i hope to read about it and every patch i'm disappointed.

Yeah, same...

With this eyebrow issue in particular, there are two separate problems going on. The first is that, like many others who have shared feedback, the updated design of these eyebrows isn't as close to the original shape and appearance as they should be. In the first DT benchmark, the angle was too sharply upturned, and the length was shorter.

But the second is a less common issue, in that since the second DT benchmark, there's been a genuine bug/mapping error that caused the whole eyebrow to get crushed thin.

Even if we had to wait for 7.2 or later for a whole redesign, I see NO reason why the mapping error shouldn't be fixed in minor patches, like any other bug.

Reminiscing on how nice and natural my character's eyebrows used to look, versus what we're stuck with right now...

I'm not expecting this to be mentioned in the next live letter like they did for the Moon Miqo'te fangs (even though that was a wonderful example of listening and responding visually to feedback), but I still greatly hope this gets fixed in 7.2.
