I'd love this feature also, i don't want to be bound again for years with the same face/hairstyle like when i was playing with XI.

def want to see them add this eventually

Yoshi-P did say he will work on the promises from the old team(along as they don't hinder what the game lacks im sure) but priorities first. In this case I don't see why he wouldn't add it but probably won't see it for about a year or so.

Although I agree that other improvements to the game rank higher than incorporating avatar changes, it could also be seen as an easy win (it doesn't seem that it would be too difficult to implement). It may go towards keeping existing players as well to give them some variety and something to look forward to. Even IRL no one generally keeps the same hairstyle (or color) or facial hair for long periods- of course this doesn't necessarily address other features like tattoos or scars. It may be vain, but the graphics and how things look really drew me to FFXIV and keeping it fresh for me is important.

I really like the idea of incorporating several elements into the feature too rather than just being able to buy changes or enhancements. For example maybe some standard features can be bought, but there should be quests that allow you to unlock certain styles or features. Also, including a gathering/farming and crafting element for making the dye chemicals (the base, not necessarily by color becuase that may be too limiting on color options) or hair items (like combs, tiebacks or clips). Having limited time available choices during events would be pretty neat too. There are lots of options, I really hope that it doesn't drop off SE's radar for the long run and that they make it an interactive experience.

If i change anything about my character, it would be the eyes. They could stand to be more cat-like :)
