Just saying.... the only memorable part of FF15 was Gladiolus pushing that car.

To be fair, the time jump to see the the overworld go from normal to World of Darkness was pretty sweet. I do feel bad about the team of XV considering how much they had to cut out of the game and relegate it to OVAs, dlc, ect. Though I don't know if the current devs can do "manly" men, the closest we got was Gaius during the Weapon storyline and I wish they did more like that.

It's out there, if you want it

Honestly, I feel like they need to work on the actual face-sculpts, as well. The male viera are a dozen steps above the other races in terms of how well-sculpted their faces look in comparison.
It's even jarring compared to female viera, which are also a step above other races. I'd love for them to set aside some dev resources to re-sculpt all the face options (obviously don't change their actual appearances!).

Otherwise if they don't re-sculpt the faces, imagine them adding fresh facial options to the older races, with the quality of male viera. It would look... really odd.

It's not just the face model but also the textures. They just look like they're higher quality compared to the original races despite being the same resolution. Best example would be female Viera and female Highlanders, both have the same texture resolution but while Viera look clean you can count the pixels on female Highlander faces. Maybe they had access to compression with less loss in image quality for Viera, who knows.

I concur, give us eyebrows already
