Eyebrows For Male Highlanders When?

It just simply isn't feasible, its called lasagna code or something.

I could use some lasagna code with my turkey.

I am in full support of this. I don't care if there's lore reasons my dude would be rockin' normal, bushy eyebrows.

Everyone and their mother always brings up "lore reasons" when it comes to not giving male highlanders eyebrows. Ivon Coeurlfist, male highlander, has the bushiest eyebrows I've ever seen on a character. No I don't care that he uses a unique non-player model, he's a male highlander lore wise and that's that. We're done with the "lore reasons" excuse.

And yet the latest msq npc had no problem rocking eyebrows with an otherwise rather generic build.
It feels really bad that the playable characters are less unique than the rest of the world - considering how special our role is in this game it's rather ironic

I may be having a stroke but I think I noticed a couple of facial features on various NPCs over the months that looked different. A game dev friend of mine also pointed out that in some dungeons SE seem to be testing wall textures or lighting or whatever (I forgot). Maybe that's because they are testing features for a new character creator? But then again I'm probably just high on hopium.

Yes! Another one of these posts! Now I can once again flex MIDLANDER SUPERIORITY. Buffer? Taller? So what. Can you do this? Emotes with eyebrows. No. You can't. Because you're eye bald. Do you like mine? I nourish them with Highlander tears. I find it makes them even more luscious. Which is funny, 'cause you don't have any. Stokes eyebrows Mmmm...yessss.

(This is a joke. I'm fine with them having at least one option for eyebrows. If cat and bun boys are supposed to be extremely rare because lore, yet I trip over one every three feet when I'm in Limsa, surely some Highlanders can eschew tradition and have eyebrows).

SE: "Well, actually, we programmed Male Highlander hair where the eyebrow slot would normally be, so you can have one or the other."

Without even taking into consideration that not all Highlanders are Ala Mhigan, specially the playable character who could've been born in Doma for all we know. Anyway, to indulge how silly the "lore" reason is.

"It's their lore to not have eyebrows!"

the lore:

Technically not Highlanders, but we can also count

I would remove Conrad Kemp as he’s clearly a Midlander. The others are more valid.

No he is very much a highlander, as is the pugilist guild master (for him it is clearly stated he is a highlander by other characters), but they use elderly models so their physique isn't as muscular and are "technically" classed as midlanders by the game. Ala Mhigo is populated entirely by highlanders when it comes to hyur, there is only one example of a midlander who is Ala Mhigan if we do not count Lyse and Minfillia, who are both 1.0 characters and at that time female highlanders didn't "exist", and that one midlander was from a post Stormblood side quest that involved refugees returning to Ala Mhigo. In all likelihood it was either unintentional or it was because they wanted a younger looking male character who was not burly.

I admittedly forgot about Hamon, but funny enough he does lack eyebrows
