In-Game Character Profile

[Vangoh]

One thing I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVOED about the previous Final Fantasies is how you could have a very cool looking and detailed character profile. When you check someone you only see:

1)Their main and sub job level.
2)Their gear.
3)Their Linkshell
4)A very tiny little bazaar message.
5)And well of course the bazaar.

Playonline has a character profile but it's not really that great, I would love to see something similar to this in game. Like when you search them, look them up on friend list, or check them while you see them walking around. Now what this FF is missing is that old style FF profile which includes the following missing traits.

1)Character Picture and name. (a very good customizable one)
2)Status beneficial or ailment status.
3)HP and MP amount.
4) Parameters (STR, INT, DEX, etc) along with attack and defense.

Additions to make this profile more personal would be:

1) A longer personal message (kind of like bazaar message).
2) Top 3 most used jobs.
3) And in-depth character record (optional I guess but still would be cool) such as battles fought, times KO'd, battlefields fought, and the kind of stuff that Moogle that gives us anniversary ring tell us.

I've thought about this a long time ago and I always wondered why couldn't we get this. So what do you all think?

I enjoy as is.

It's good if you want that info out there. But, it could also hinder those that aren't as good as others. For example, say a football draft. If the person has a bad record, what are the chances of them being drafted with a good team/pay?
How will that tie in? Somebody could be "sucky" in game, and because people can see this, they may never be able to grow as a player because people would be like, "eh... they aren't joining my party." -I would be so guilty of that- and so it could turn these people off from the game, resulting in a backfire to SE financially. Also you have trolls out there who would just make them feel bad.
But I do like the idea of profile pic and job info. :)

I see your point, and that's why I said it in parenthesis on the third section, bullet #3. Totally optional.

Lol! It humors me how you pointed that out to me :P . And to be honest AS I posted that, I did realize that you did in fact say optional, but I see all the nitty gritty details open to the public or the option to, being an issue for those that wouldn't want that or who dont have the best record. People can push for it with shouts like, "Shinryu [Do you need it?] WHM BLM BLU Profiles must be open."
The user may have the option to hide it, but the public also has the option to see it, or push someone to see it. And that can hinder a players experience.
