The pedantry in this thread is real. If you walked up to anyone and asked what race they were, I highly doubt any of them would answer "human".

My poor heart can't take anymore! lol. You got me! D:

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Humans, or rather Homo Sapiens, are a species.

Well, if I asked for species you'd be correct.

I do get your comment though. Speaking in absolutes is generally a quick way to have someone disagree with you and tell you you're wrong, because there's a good chance you are. Obviously, not all...

I get that we're now all just here to be outraged, however, different ethnicities & races do have distinct facial features that tend to be more prominent within the group. Obviously there will be...

Drama threads are always fun to read. May help pass their time over there at work as well ;)

I think it's fairly common for a lot of games, books, movies, etc to pull inspiration from RL places and things, blend with their own ideas, and voila! A new world! I do agree that you can't...

I'm not sure if you're being intentionally obtuse, but I think it's pretty obvious that SE has taken some pretty big inspiration from Japan as well as Eastern culture in general with Stomblood. Of...

Ayee, this is true as well. Usually best to just ignore them at that point, although I think we've all been guilty at times of indulging when we probably shouldn't. ><

Of course race is part of the thread, but the bickering over the nonsense was not needed which is why I made my comment. It is very possible to have a civil conversation regarding sensitive topics,...

Or people grow up a bit, ignore the silly little race war that a few people were bickering over, and discuss the topic at hand. However, this being the OF, you're probably correct.

With that type of thinking, having human characters in the first place should be a big no-no. Maybe the next game will let us play as a hot-pink newt roaming the lands to ensure our character is...

I mentioned this early on in this thread, but I personally get a bit bummed if I have no option to play as a female character in games. That's normally as far as I'll go in regards to a personal...

I took it as them just summing up this hot mess as "I just want more hair", but I very well may have missed something. If that wasn't the case, I apologize D:

Yup. Boiled down to bare bones, that would be what the thread is about. Facial features/hair/customization.

Instead, we ended up with the shitshow presented here.

This isn't only about hair. I think you know that.

Whether or not you agree with the idea of adding more ethnic features/hairstyles, that's all fine and dandy. We're all allowed an opinion on...

OP isn't the only person who has been posting, and plenty of the responses have been normal. Instead of continuing that conversation, people are instead opting to harp on "OMG, OP'S APPROACH. IF...

What is the harm of requesting that some more ethnic options to the faces/features? Obviously SE has an idea of what they're going for with their characters, but requesting something never hurts. ...

I specifically brought up GW2 as an example as they have a similar method to XIV. But yes, there are games that have far better character creators. I'm sorry I did not write an essay to explore my...

This particular thread was more focused on providing more ethnic looking options. New faces/facial features aren't going to hurt anyone, and more options in this manner would only be a plus...

No need to pin this only on adolescent boys. I'm in my 30s, and female, and I'd be down for a more rounded tush. As it is now, bums are mostly pancakes.

I think a lot of the issue is that they can't otherwise the game will implode. At least that's how Yoshi makes it sound. Still, it never hurts to ask for more customization. If they do it, great....

It never hurts to keep an eye on your competition and maybe even get inspiration from them. Improving on a game is always possible, and there are many, MANY things that other games handle in a...
