Remove Markings (create a character)

Right now my character has markings on the face. it automatically comes with the face i choose for my character. i should be able to remove the markings and have a clean plain face.

Miqo'te? (can't see with that headgear)
Those markings are genetic

It's not genetic, it's War Paint. Like how the Mithra of FFXI had them. Some Seekers stopped the practice of it (why they have a clear face option) while no Keeper tribes have stopped.

Just like Au Ra want horns separate from their face option? I don't see this happening anytime soon.

Yeah, I don't see it happening either but I'd love to have the option to choose these markings seperate from the face, just like the idea of au ra horns being seperate from the face. It would be one way of adding more diversity to character creation.

If you don't want them but stay Miqo'te, your only option is to switch to Seekers. Keepers are yet to ditch the war paint tradition of old times.

They are completely different things in FFXIV. Miqo'te are born with facial markings that are 100% genetic. They are like Au Ra scales. This is different from the face paints and the tattoos, which you can freely change in-game.

Miqo'te are not the same as Mithra. They are a lot more unique in lore and design than people realize.

The Miqo'te markings are genetic, like a cats fur pattern.
You should embrace the markings, not stray.

I would like the option to remove markings, too. I wanted to make a Hellsguard for a particular skin tone. But the dark marking on the nose was too much of a turn off, so I picked Sea Wolf. It looked to "bear/dog-like" to me. So now my character is paler than I wanted her to be, but at least no nose marking.

So what you're saying is that, there should be no clan/tribal/race differences at all? That would just stifle any uniqueness. Hell, if we are removing markings, we might as well give Elezen rounded ears, I prefer that style. Oh we could increase Lalafell height to match Hyur, I prefer taller characters.
