We Needs Beards

[Boblawblah]

Honestly FF14's community is so openly queer and welcoming to queer folks that beards aren't really necessary here.

Wait, what do beards have to do with being queer?

the only thing i could actually think of is that since queer people are ostracised even in western societies that some hide their identity, a la the glasses + beard prop


i have no idea but thats what my brain came up with

Apologies for the confusion, from the number of confused replies I'm guessing this term wasn't as widespread as I thought. In gay culture, a "beard" is a person of the "opposite" gender that pretends to be a gay person's significant other to make them look straight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard_(companion)

In short, I was making a very dumb joke. ^^

I chuckled.

Also yes to more beards, but considering they can't even add stubble without making an entirely new face for it (using an existing midlander face) I don't think the devs are experienced enough to add something as big as facial hair, that might be a little to much to expect.

It doesn’t have to be long beards that clip, but at least a variety of beard types and shapes. Full beard, goatee, muttonchops, etc. Even combos like sideburns and mustache, sideburns and goatee. Not to mention a variety of mustaches, like pencil ‘stache, Hogan ‘stache, curly ‘stache, etc. We just need a variety of facial hair.
