**Important note: This is not a post about general graphics update changes. This is a report for a genuine error that happened after the character graphics were updated, but before the main 7.0 release.**
All eyebrow options of Female Miqo'te face 2 continue to have an error that causes them all to be pinched thin at the inner brow corner, losing their intended shape. This same error also makes the eyebrows appear darker, losing visible detail of fine hairs and not matching hair color. It's possible that this darkening is also a loss of opacity around the edges.
These issues are consistent with a UV texture map error. It's likely that the eyebrows were not adjusted properly when other changes were made at one point.
Full comparison of all eyebrow options, and the changes they went through. The change from Benchmark 1 to what is still the current eyebrow shape is where the error happened.

Outline to highlight the difference in shapes, and the clear error the current shape has.
Overlay of current eyebrow (blue) over Benchmark 1 eyebrow (pink). Arrows point to where the eyebrow became thin, and lost its characteristic "squared" shape. This error exists in all eyebrow options of this face.
Date & Time: 8/7/2025 9:36 PM Eastern time
Frequency: Always
World name: Midgardsormr
Character name: Tahli Val
Steps:
1. Load FFXIV
2. Go into character creation and select a female Miqo'te of either clan, using Face option 2.
3. Optional step of using the same features as my example chart above:
-Keeper of the Moon clan
-Skin color RGB: 225, 198, 182
-Hair color RGB: 81, 81, 81
-Eye color RGB: 179, 179, 179
-Eye shape 6, Iris size small
4. Select any eyebrow option.
5. Note that all eyebrow options have the same thinned inner corner. Compare this to previous versions, and note that this inconsistency is clearly a mistake.
Many more example images can be found in This Forum Petition, as well as unanimous agreement and urgent requests that this be fixed.
