EDIT, was wrong about the level you can post a bit more often. Info is here.

I think it is partially out of date as I can post up to 3K characters in a post. Also I seem to recall that if you edit a post there is no limit it is only during the initial creation. I remember I use to put in a place holder to create my post then go into edit to respond more fully without having to resort to multiple posts.

But stuff like eye color etc should be customizable imo.

As far as marketing goes I don't think that Japanese games really get much marketing to begin with, but FFXIV have actually had some big commercials.
I can't even remember any marketing for games like DMC5 or the RE remakes tho for example.
Usually when I see ads for games it just ads for the same rehashed games ala Assassins Creed or the next CoD or EA games.
Word of mouth or just looking around myself is how I find most games.

Depends on the game tbh. Franchises like Mario, Sonic, and Zelda get a fair amount of ad time in western media. I remember back on the original launch of Secret of Mana on the SNES that commercial popped up frequently but the only commercial I saw for Chronotrigger was actually the Japanese one that someone added subtitles to lol. FF7 I think had a fair amount of commercial time on TV on its first release on PS1 and PC. Now that I think about it I think the FF series has had decent TV ad time since FF7 outside of FFXI, FFXIV, and the non mainline entries like tactics, explorers, chocobo's dungeon, etc...

As far as character editor updates though. If you want to amuse yourself for a little bit you could always try pushing that thread up about the request for butt sliders again XD.

The posting limits though seems spot on. Guess I'll find out, since I just hit level 30 as a Pugilist and Botanist tonight. And this is my 5th post today.

For real though, we should either make a general motion thread for an updated character creation editor or hammer it towards any relative discussion. If enough people want it, they'll move for it.
If it can happen with Old School RuneScape, I'm sure a continuous pressure will at least warrant a discussion between the devs.

I think the argument they gave us in the past about updates or changes to the character creator at least for things like additional body sliders was that it would require them to redo all the equipment assets to accommodate the new sliders. The face options though mostly would be them needing to add more slots to those option categories. I recall some complaints about certain features being locked to specific faces. I think one of them was about Au'ra Horns.

1.Why npcs have chat bubbles and we dont ?Makes no sense to me.
2. have /party /say /send tell/whisper /yell any chat channel to change to it /keep last used it is annoying to /p each time i want to send message to party member i play with.
3.I hate quests we have to leave group and do solo fight /I hate how i could not find remove BIG TEXT IN MIDDLE OF SCREEN when i accept quest/get somewhere.

4.Update/make tooltips for some abilities better. I got combo ability and only what it said it is combo with X ability then i figured out if i press 1 then 2 gets shiny/outline as combo meant.
In my opinion would be better if tooltip was like " If you use X then Y happends /requires to use first ability to use second" /someone can accidentally totally ignore using combos xD.

5. game seems fun looking forward to dungeons /lack of fighting for my liking so far.
6.hope they add more customization to interface.

I agree that the main market originally wasn't Western countries, but that's seemed to change more over the years as Western MMOs lose traction. For some reason I got a lot of ads for the game in YouTube over the past couple of months and that marketing had a significant impact on eroding my willpower and, well, here I am, back in the game.
