As of 7.1, Hairstyle #1 and #2 for ♀ Viera have visibly increased gaps between the hair and the head that were significantly smaller/unnoticeable in 6.58 and prior.

I'm aware I have reported the same bug in 7.0, but it was listed as a "Duplicate". However, I feel compelled to report it again because I could not find the duplicate thread regarding these specific hairstyles, and it has still not been corrected.

I'll be providing new images to show what I mean, as these are taken from the character creator in 7.1 specifically. All offending areas will be circled.

Below from here will be some older screenshot comparisons made from 7.0 and the Dawntrail benchmark, but since the issue is completely unchanged, I'll be using them again to show how the hairstyle looked before the graphic update.


The portrait has been completely unedited; any changes that appear are because of the graphic update. But as seen between the two portraits, there's no black gap in the hairstyle area in the 6.58 version.


In this Dawntrail 1.0 benchmark comparison, the difference in space between the head and the hairstyle can also be seen more clearly. Again, the fitting of the hairstyle has not been corrected since the initial changes done in the graphic update, so this comparison remains valid.

They know by this entry, https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...4b52c16f4e9bf6 but they seem to not have fixed it by 7.1. Really mad about this as since 7.0 broke my favorite hairstyle, Bold and the Braid.
