Body hair

How many among you wish your character actually had a good amount of facial and body hair instead of looking like you were waxed the day before?

I think it would be a nice touch to give us a few more options like that for characters.

For comedic purposes, I'd love to have body hair as an option (on both male and female). Outside of that fun, don't care. Not having it doesn't seem to bother people. Even if we did, it probably wouldn't be as impacting of an idea as some might think.

Very happy with the current look, personally.

Let me Tom Selleck that chest.

I'm good with the way final fantasy is

Made a huge thread on this topic already, and we got a half way response, and Yoshi actually stated something about it not too long ago in an interview.

EDIT:
I tried to find the interview... but I can't. But basically the most recent interview was Yoshi saying IF they did add some type of body hair... it would be as an equip-able piece of gear, not a character creator option. (Since he already said no to new character creator options period for 4.0)

Optional of course, but yes I'd like to see chest hair as an option.

I apologize I was not away such a thread existed. I can see who it would cause issues with gear sets and the like. though some new facial hair for Mi'quote would certainly be a nice short term compromise.... I want my cat to have scruff >.>'

umm ew no.

I would rather not have it tbh.

/sigh I'll say it once like I said in my thread... OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You wouldn't be forced to use it. Duh!

Game, irl... Not a fan of body hair at all. I'll pass on this one.

I am absolutely SHOCKED this thread wasn't made by a roe.

I wonder if they'll give us equipable nipples too.

I've only been saying this since I started back in 2.0. GIMME MORE BEARDS!!!

So don't use it? If it were added, it would almost certainly be optional.

Whaaaat? But then what will they get to complain about?
For real, though. Roegadyn men should have had body hair as an option from the very beginning (as well as Highlanders and maybe Miqo'te... unless all Miqo'te are Sphynx people capable of growing hair on their head).

It should have been an option for every male race aside from Au Ra who, in turn, should have gotten the option to add more scales upon their body.

Male Lalafell with body hair... hairy popoto. My brain can't comprehend the image.

But you're asking our opinion of it, as if you were interested what we thought of it. and we don't like it, so that's what we're saying.

Of course I wouldn't care about it if it was optional. No one's opinion of it would actually matter, since it would be optional.

Optional or no, umm ew no.

:rolleyes:

On a less "Body hair is icky" note, I'm absolutely in love with the idea of fuzzing up some guys and gals chests.

It depends on how it looks like. I have a fear that if they do implement body hair it'll look patchy and/or drawn on like some games.

Although I think I remember them saying that they'll consider making beards equipable items similar to the faux moustache and santa beard we got. Better than nothing I guess, but hopefully they won't go for the "joke" type beards

I never asked anyone for any opinion... so not sure what you're going on about...

whoever created this thread asked for opinions. You decided to quote me, so I quoted you back. If you ain't the one looking for opinions, then none of this concerns you.

carry on.

I'm sorry, but...

I just don't wanna see a bunch of naked hairy dudes dancing 24/7 in Kugane.
Don't wanna have that forced upon my eyes really. There is too much being forced upon my eyes already.

Thankfully it's already something being considered by Yoshi-P, as revealed in a recent Live Letter so the weird aversion a lot of people in this community have to such things will hopefully not play into the decision too heavily. It's only fair for male characters to be able to 'dress down' and show off their muscles (and body hair, if they so desire) when female characters can dress down to show off every curve in some very skimpy outfits.
