Well, he is someone who actually enjoys the mmo genre. I'm positive he knows exactly what the playerbase wants at times but can't address it for corporate reason.

See his glorious facial expressions when laughing/cringing/sighing at a request.

Indeed :D

And I also agree there are probably many times where he would say something different if it wasn't for his position (not saying like it has to be 180 difference but I imagine a difference there is).

I think he was joking about that. I'm sure he knows all to well how many people have been asking for this for years. I just really hope it becomes a character creator option and not something that takes up a head slot.

Prob a good indication that he doesn't pay attention to western request unless presented to him in interviews or other in person events.
Not strange at all ... guy's Japanese running a Japanese MMO, he can't read or know every lil request made across the world.

facial hair is meh. most western players look like creepy old men so other than the west no one really cared about it. but more options is always good though.

To each their own I suppose. I would love to have some actual facial hair options like that stubble or some beards. Not really sure where you're going with the "western players look like creepy old men" thing though.

Yeah, that was an ignorant thing to say. Makes me think he was trolling, considering facial hair is not exactly unheard of in the east O.o

I...kinda want to rock that beard shown in #2 in real life. I won't lie. My beard has nothing on that.

With a beard, you grow your own scarf.
