Character Creation 2.0 - Expectations/Suggestion Discussion

**Tsukichu** · 07-10-2012 05:39 AM

I haven't seen any threads at all talking about Character Creation, thought I would open the discussion myself.

One of my favorite aspects of an MMORPG is the Character Creation system, it is usually the first system that we are introduced to and it gives us the power to create an avatar that is uniquely you. (In most cases. ^^)

From the screenshot above, it would seem we have an excellent amount of new options to choose from and we already know a few things that have been elaborated upon. Such as the ability to change bust size for females and to adjust tail length for Miqote.

My personal wish is for character creation to be worthy of an MMORPG of this generation, I enjoyed the system present in games like Aion which allowed you to create an avatar down to the finest detail but I hope for FFXIV to have some limits to avoid creating little monsters. ^^;

Options are fun for all, what are your hopes and dreams for Character Creation 2.0?

(P.S. Could Female Highlanders get a little love? I wonder what they look like...)

- I hope they have new voices, 'cuz I don't like very many of the ones we have now.
- I also hope they give the option to have different features on more than one of the Face Types (right now it's really annoying to check all 4 faces to see which features you like best in terms of the tattoos and scars and etc.)
- More hairstyles/variations on current hairstyles. They have the wonderful "option" part right now that's only available on a few hairstyles, and hardly changes much on what it is on (I think for one of them it changes if it has bangs/which side bangs are on, but otherwise I've only seen it change hair accessory colors).

Other than that I think it's pretty good.

I hope their facial features (Mainly the brow and nose connection) at least differ from their male counterpart. Otherwise these Female highlanders are going to be looking like butt. Then again the Female roegs came out looking really well done.

I wonder how chest size for males work... buff/skinny?

Theres also an option that says "Build" which im not familiar with.

I agree with new voices, please.

All very valid suggestions, I also agree with more voices and hairstyles especially for the ladies. As for the "Build" option I am really praying that this allows us to vary the shape of our characters. For example, instead of having a petite and agile Miqote, you can have a more buxom woman with some meat on those thighs/hips. Or if you want to option to have a bulkier Highlander or Skinnier one.

I agree. I'd like to see tweakable colors for outfits and a lot more body and hair + face options and sliders. Currently we all look a bit too alike even when it comes to races.

I hope that 2.0 brings back the armor/clothing variety between the different races, I miss seeing Mithra running around in hot pants for RDM af while everyone else had pants. That might be a poor example, but It gave the different races more personality in my opinion.

This is an excellent step in the right direction, I understand that each existing armor cannot be changed for each race but I hope moving forward that we'll see more variety between each race.

what i want is not exactly from the character Creation
but i want the clan option to make bigger difference on the character than just some unique skin/hair
i know ff14 is a game where alts are not recommended so race/clan specific quests would be kind of a waste
to be honest i am not sure exactly what i want but at the end i want choosing clan to be more meaningful

If we can change the size of boobs, we should also be able to change the size of our bulge.

Very funny~ I would love to see longer hairstyles for women, maybe something wispy like Fran's hair but maybe not as long...

(Just to be clear here, not asking for Viera just would like to see crazy and fierce hairstyles. ^^)

**Fleur** · 07-10-2012 10:04 AM

Nice thread idea! I think what I wish for most is variety in height and build choices, not connected to each other. Which is what that character creation screen seems to indicate!

Of course each race has their own defining characteristics, of which size is a part, but I think if they do build the way they did height (smallest-small-average-large-largest, according to gender/race) it would be awesome, assuming the "default" builds we currently have are "average".

Would also love to see more options for the Miqo'te tail tip color, more "characteristics" (freckles or added tattoos, anyone?) and more hair styles for all! Especially those poor Lalafell and Highlanders.
