I picture them as amazons. They'd be so hot! I hope they are unpopular so I can be like the only one xD

My wish-list:

1. Allow any tattoo to be applied to any face.

2. Allow tattoo color to be changed.

3. Allow any facial "feature" to be applied to any face.

4. Allow Miqo'te to change teeth and eye-type.

5. Add more hair, hair-color and eye-color options.

6. Add more tattoo options.

7. Give Miqo'te a better Mithra-like nose option that is not limited to one face-type.

8. Give all races a "build" option or slider. ("Skinny," "Average," "Muscular," etc. or a slider like in Skyrim/other various MMOs)

9. Give all races unique animations that suit their race (like in FFXI). By this I mean making standard animations for things like movement and battle unique and either race dependant or player-selectable.

10. (Maybe?) Give Roegadyn a tail option.

Yes please! <3 I miss watching Elvaan attack like they have a stick up their bums. Great Suggestions Radnar! ^^

I wanna be able to create her with highlander females:

Races already do have unique animations. Maybe they could add personality options, if that's what you mean.

Do you mean emotes? Because I would like to see unique battle animations and most importantly I would like to see my tail waggle a bit more.

I mean like you could opt to be a stuck-up snob and then you character would walk, run, fight, and emote like that. So all your actions and emotes were linked to your personality choice.

Would like to see more variety in hairstyles, and long hairtstyles.

The Keeper of the Moon tail waggle very well ^^

Another thing is facial expressions. I really liked in FFXI when my Taru pulled out her weapon and her eyebrows went all angry. That doesn't happen in XIV. One of the reasons I picked Taru was because they were the only race that actually showed some emotion in their facial animations. You'd look at /laugh on other races, and they just looked like they were choking on something.

I do like how when I'm inflicted with certain debuffs I get this pained expression, though.

I noticed, but on the sunseeker it doesn't move at all. It feels like a furry with a tail stapled to her butt. It isn't too much of a big deal but it would be nice to see it have a little more life. ^^

Also, I would love to create a fierce female highlander that was buxom and strong like a Frazetta woman:

I-MA-GI-NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATIOOOOOON
IMAGINAAAAAATIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOONNNN
IMAGINATION IMAGINAAATION
IMAGINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAATIOOOOOOOOOOON

I'm with you, Tsukichu. This game needs more fierce-looking women options in character creation.

I'm sure that somewhere, just like in XI and every major nation (excluding Jeuno), there will be an NPC who sells the starter RSE for each race, and for next-to-no-gil as well.

Midland Hyur
- Wider variety of tattoos, tribal and celtic
- Wider variety of hair colors and styles; braids, curls, loops.
- Hair accessories such as flowers, bones, ebony, glass, metals and gems.
- Make up such as blush, eye liner, natural colors of eye shadow, lip gloss options.
(Some of the females just look dead or colorless.)
- More eye colors. In real life I have two different colored eyes, why not in game?
- More voices

Highland Hyur
- More tattoos, tribal, ancestral, primal and or animalistic.
- More wounds and scars like animal glaw marks going down your chest.
- More hair styles and colors, hair that isn't just pulled back but free flowing for the women, like long and braided.

Miqote:
- A variety of facial stripes and or rosettes to choose from not just ones that are defaulted. Bolder colors
- Bodily markings such as stripes or rosettes.

- A long BIG FLUFFY TAIL!!!
- A variety of tail options such as stripes, spots and or current tail option.
- Wider variety of hair styles some long some short.
- Not to be limited to what color hair or what color eyes we have due to our clan.
(I can understand skin tones but I don't see why Keeper's of the Moon couldn't have white hair or pure black hair. That to me would make sense. Instead we got dull colors.)
- I think this hair would look great on Miqote...

In the end if we are still not satisfied please put in a barber shop so we can play in game with our looks at our leisure.

http://moetoy.com/wp-content/uploads.../c008-h009.png

Elezen - Duskwight
- Wider variety of dark shades such as blues and purples.
- Variation on eyes due to nocturnal preference.
- Wider variety of facial markings and body tattoos, perhaps features that glow as is common for creatures who are primarily cave dwellers.
- Wider variety of hair styles, longer, shorter, curls or braids.

Elezen - Wildwood
- Tatoos or facial markings which may mimic floral designs.
- Same as above which are applicable.

Will add Lalafel later.

I want miqote tails for my lalafell (without cat ears, i want keeep my cute pointy lalafell ears).

Also... Miqote tails seems lifeless... they need more work on their animation, aaaaand.... what about allow wrap our own tails in our waist as if they were belts? (if your fan of dragon Ball Z, you have an idea of what im talkin about).

Gonna bump this because I actually care a whole lot about char creation right now. After numerous trys, I still haven't been able to make a character I don't want to murder after ~30 minutes of playtime when the character is wearing armor that doesn't cover their majority. It's one of my big hopes for customization to be improved in 2.0.

I wholeheartedly agree Radnar, it is my favorite part of playing an MMO. There is something I've been thinking about last night, currently I feel that all of our characters look too generic. We all look like the background characters you would find wandering around town, there's nothing special about us. There's nothing unique, I really hope that 2.0 allows us to make characters that truly pop and stand out.

I mean there is only one difference between you and I, Radnar and that's the color of our skin.

It would be cool to have idle animations, like our characters could make sure their armor was on correctly. Maybe they could put their hands on their hips and look around, it could be different for every race and add a bit of life to them. ^^

Miqote should play with their tail and/or ears

Just sayin'.

-Idle animations would be pretty fun, that way the major cities dont look like their filled with emotionless zombies standing around so I'm all for that. Rubbing their eyes. Stretching. Looking around. Perhaps a little emote timing routine put in place :P its a start. Thats if most people care what their own character is doing while afk though, heh

-Someone mentioned a left handed feature I also thought would be really interesting.

-If it doesn't hurt and if it can easily be done, I would love to see a barbershop sometime in the future. You can also place limits on the time between changing appearances if its a problem. At least for hair and facial hair only. And possibly war paint?

-It might be difficult/time costly but I'd like to see more character stances when attacking or maybe even running so not everyone of the same race looks the same. Mainly because Id rather see a highlander hold an axe similar to a midlander or vice versa. And we all know those male elves run funny.

-More hair. Lots and lots of different styles. LOTS. and alterations of similar styles. Despite my character being bald ^^;

Hopefully the barbershop can get you a nice wig.

Sabin from FFVI haircut for my highlander please! :D

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h.../sabin_kal.jpg

Would love it if there was a left hand option too, since im a leftie in RL.

And if they do a muscular build option, please make it so it's well balanced instead of huge chest and arms, with tiny twig legs. That just looks awkward.

The only thing that bothers me and I would like ethy to see implemented is the option to change the colour of eyebrows!
I love dark skin with fair hair combo but gawd, it makes miqote look like an infantaru. Not crazy-hazy option like black for blonde or pink for green hair but if we can make em like 2-3 tones darker or lighter that wouldy be really greataruful

My biggest dream is for male miqote to have a hair style similar to Al-Cid from FFXII, that would be the bee's knees~~

http://finalfantasy.cc/dewfish/XII/c...rop/al-cid.jpg

That or male highlander, I just really like that guy's hair. ^^
Something messy and wild.

It would be cool if girls could have a similar style of hair like Fang from FFXIII:
http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy.../c/c3/Fang.png

Also, I wonder if there could be an option to share hairstyles from other races so that there could be even more options to choose from.

I want thicker eyebrows. I tried to make my character look as much like me as possible, but without thicker eyebrows he'll never look anything like me. It's narcissistic, I know, but I'd rather not look like I wax mine.

More lithe builds for the men and more muscular builds for the women would be lovely.

I would also absolutely love it if you could choose some basic personalities. Maybe someone would like to play a Miqo'te who's shy and reserved, or refined and seductive instead of everyone having the same excitable girly-girl emotes that every other Miqo'te have. I've no hope of this ever being truly implemented, but it would be so nice to be sitting around with a group of Miqo'tes and not have to cringe when I notice they're all sitting in the exact same way. It's just one more thing that makes us seem like exact carbon copies of each other.

A personality feature would be cool but it does seem like too much work to implement, depending on how many personalities they would offer would mean they would each have to have their own unique set of emotes. That sounds like a lot of animation/mo-cap sessions. x-x But it would be a really cool feature, perhaps they could offer an option to choose how you stand idly, like three choices or something. Or they could offer different options to /sit, like laying on your tummy or something like that.

Personality traits would be cool but I would prefer to be able to change my personality on a whim. Perhaps toggle happy, excited, gloomy, sad... then your character walks as such. I think more than that may be asking for too much lol. And then have it turned off because sometimes I like to express myself the way I am through emotes.

I think those who want to be little cat people or hybrids need to wait and see what other races they offer. It wouldn't make sense lore wise for a Lalafel to have a tail, lore wise. However if there were hybrids of different classes, that could work.

I agree that we also need to stand out more. We need to be more individualized. I don't see too many like me but I see a lot of others like others. That was also the problem with XI. A MMO with these graphics shouldn't be limited to a set number of variations but should have many many possibilities of colors, textures, markings, accessories, from head to toes. Shoot why not add nail polish lolol. Anyway I hope to see more responses here too. Lets stimulate our creativity.
