I have a male character but I was wondering if it was possible to implement better looking lipsticks or mascara/eyeshadow/blush/etc. functions in the game via Jandelaine since it seems like the current options leave a little much to be desired.
Also I'm certain that a normal set of the "Claws of the Beast" without being so long as dyed nails with polish would go over well with people!
Better makeup options? Cosmetics in general?

Yes please! Why can't we have blush AND eyeshadow? Why is it only one or the other?
In addition, I would love to see them expand the face paint and lip colors to something more in line with the amount of color choices that the hair option has. -

I'd like varying intensities or glossiness of colors on the lips or different patterns in case you're funky. At the moment, I think it's just the default "lip color" function.

I want clown makeup too. Kefka clown makeup!

03-22-2016, 04:42 AMSkivvyNo offense, but the eyeshadow in this game leaves much to be desired. It's like someone just took a paintbrush and slapped it on. :XQuote:

I know, right? There are many things I would change about character customization in this game, separating blush from eye-shadow is but one of them.Quote:

If we're going to get more options for character customisation - which is sorely needed - I'd rather it be something that will benefit everybody rather than the portion of the community that lean towards playing female characters or feminine looking men.

03-22-2016, 04:58 AMAndreaAgreed with this.. 99% of eyeshadow in this game is utter garbage IMO.Quote:

03-22-2016, 05:02 AMKosmos992kRather than asking for unisex options, why not suggest something equivalent for male characters?Quote:

I think tattoos are the male equivalent, but I think there will be issues with that since we have tattoos in the game via shirtless glamour pieces that go for money.
Personally, I am ALL for drag queens or kings in Eorzea. -
03-22-2016, 05:05 AMAndreaOh god I can already hear the female players complaining they cant get the tattoos already.Quote:

03-22-2016, 05:09 AMGemmaMen could get more facial hair options. I think facial hair for guys shouldn't be something that's tied to what face you pick,Quote:

I hate having shiny lips, I wish I could have more of a matte color, plus would be nice to have better eyeshadow. :/ -
03-22-2016, 05:11 AMzeopower6
True, the facial hair options are pretty bad. I really do not like how they've given most people really bare mustaches or unflattering beards. I love beards and facial hair is kind of an art, but this game doesn't really respect that.
Though personally I kinda like how some people have been playing with the beards/mustaches on all genders, lol. -
03-22-2016, 05:19 AMKosmos992k
I'm surprised (unless I missed it earlier) that no one has mentioned de-coupling the horns from the faces for Au'Ra.
-
03-22-2016, 05:20 AMzeopower6
There would likely be a "lore" reason to not do so.
-
03-22-2016, 05:25 AMDualgunnerI would be so happy if they did this. :3Quote:

The devs really need to add more face paint, we know they're capable since they've given us freckles and a bat tattoo (Halloween event reward) so it seems as if there's no data limitations and is similar to hairstyles.
With that said, I'd love fake scars (it's really just a line on the face) so with the right color/shade it'll look somewhat natural. As well as more fake eyebrow option as the one we have is too thick and can look obviously fake.
Not sure if it'll ever be possible with their programming, but being able to layer face paint/makeup will be great. When I was a Highlander I wished to be able to layer the false eyebrows + eye shadow (makes the eye look a bit bigger) but oh well ...
Under the current limitation, I'm not sure if we can get more facial hair.I would love it if they would release more fake beards (like the santa bear/ false moustache) but make them look natural, instead of a joke -
03-22-2016, 06:29 AMMicahZerrshiaYou don't need to look like a drag queen or almost every non-npc male Roegadyn (what's up with male Roe's and all the pink lace anyway), if you use cosmetic features in other games, or the limited ones we have here, right you can just give your character a better touch of realism or add depth to your features.Quote:

Gaining a second category (named Face Paint 2, to be unimaginative) with pretty much the same options as the first would be a really nice addition for both genders.
Anyway, if makeup options are expanded, it would be sort of unfair to add another, male-only category with facial hair ^^;
Unless they dealt with that simply by adding more options to the facial options already existing, while adding a couple more of the same for female characters. I think some female races/faces have access to "mascara" (or "longer eyelashes"), and some faces (male and/or female) have eyeliner options. More of these would be nice to have, too.
Well, maybe because there was this super long thread regarding that particular subject, and it got a dev response to the effect of "not happening right now, PS3 and character creation limitations" =/Quote:

03-23-2016, 06:02 AMKosmos992kAre you really saying that because of that no one should ask ever again? You know, if we stopped asking about everything the devs had told us wasn't happening because of <insert reason> limitations, we'd have about 50% fewer topics, and the devs would conclude that they'd dealt with the issue and never consider it again.Quote:

You said you were surprised no one had mentioned it, I offered that past thread devoted to the topic as one possible reason. No need to jump at me over it ^^
