Body hair/ Chest hair/ More beard/ Eyebrow options?

The character creator could certainly use improvements- body hair being one of them. It's odd to think that out of every male character, none of them have body hair?

SE, please allow arm hair, leg hair, chest hair, gruffy options and beards as well as options for thicker eyebrows for every race that don't have that choice. I get there are certain things to distinguish certain races but it is really necessary when there is already a lack of variety when customizing your character? Body hair/ beards would only add a positive for FFXIV & it's playerbase that loves customization.

TL;DR Please make body hair & beards a viable option

I'd be all for it! An expansion to the character creation is one of my biggest desires for the game moving forward. Some of the original playable races are looking pretty dated next to the newer character and NPC models.

Some day... Highlander men will get eyebrows and nipples...

Some day...

Let's start with simple stuff like Highlander eyebrows and WoD's stubble

The artists created a stubble for the WoD in the trailers, but haven't yet implemented it ingame yet. Very puzzling.

If they were waiting for the artists to create stubbles for the other races before implementing it in game, it should have been finished by now. Really curious.

I hope the next expansion comes with upgrades to the Character Creator. At least for the original five races.

I also want a larger beard. Something like the Dwarf helmets.

I have a feeling they're holding off on adding it simply because Viera and Hrothgar have yet to get their promised expanded customisation. It'll probably all end up being added in the same patch - and once the ARR rework is over with the development team will have more breathing room.

Or so I'm hoping.

Tattoos! For both genders!

Forum: * male additions suggestions *

Yoshida: nah sorry, packet limitations and i have arthritis

Forum: bruh

I'd be all for this suggestion.

This is a really good point- let's hope. I wanna see some men with that stubble & some chest hair >:)))))

body hair is nasty, just shave it all off kitty.

Yes please...

Would also love to see more variety in markings and scars, like body markings and scars too.

Yes, body hair should be a thing for all species and genders.

What a constructive criticism.

I leave It here, Facial piercings, there you go.

I'm always up for more character creation options. It's true they could update it a bit, it's been a while.

LoL let them first add the stubble they already created and exist in the benchmark and then we'll talk about more facial and body option.
The fact that the asset exist but they didn't bother to add it in game is beyond me.
As for the nipples there is way a to add them but it's bannable and I'm not allowed to post pics.
The difference it makes is huge however. The models look more complete and natural without being too jarring.
SE needs to take some notes from the dark side as they did some things way better than SE.

Imagine lalafell dudes with body hair and stubble.

Don't really need to do much to implement it. Just add a new texture for male characters with a slider that makes the body hair more visible.

There is already a limit of things they can add to CC. That's why only certain races have muscles sliders, that is replaced with either tail or ears slider for others. So while it looks like "not much to do", it will probably demand for a CC recoding to be implemented this way.

Also, witnessing some mods... I'm not sure that it will even look any good, but whatever.

I'm kind of surprised that scars aren't available as a universal option if you're wanting a more rugged look.

The coding involved likely wouldn't have to be any different from what's used for face paints.

The miqote face I prefer doesn't come with any facial hair options so I'm all for this.

The other thing I'd like to see them do is separate the Au Ra horns from the faces, but I guess it's one of those things that may be difficult to carry out. All the same, I do want it, and I also want muscle tone sliders for races besides Hyur and Roes too.

YES! I want more beard options and just slap a simple texture on male characters to add some light body hair. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just steal ESO's or something. (I tease on that last part, but really, just some simple texturing would be fine.)

Things we want: Stubble, Moar Long Hair, more than one scale pattern for Au'ra, Upgraded textures. :D

+1

Hate wearing short pants in this game because of my silky smooth legs, but definitely want more options for chest and facial hair too. Doesn’t even need to be a huge thing, even just something like smooth, some hair, and bear as body hair options would work.

50% beard, 50% man and another 50% beard for good measure!

I want Sea Wolf Roe's face 1 mustache. The other faces can grow a full lumberjack beard but the stash looks like a sharpie doodle, okay, sure Jan

I want scars and a muscle slider for my bunny lass also highlanders would look so much better with eyebrows

Somewhere in Japan, a very tired Naoki Yoshida is slumped behind a desk, his forehead held up by his hands. He looks down at his laptop and all of the people clamoring for stubble, for the people now wanting more and more muscles and character creation options.

"Why did I give the Okay to the staff to give the Warrior of Darkness a stubble beard?! Now everyone wants this and my job is so much harder!"

I feel for him.

But I still want that stubble.

Only if I can get a tramp stamp and arm/leg tattoos

Funny, I was just admiring the chest hair(fur?) on a Hrothgar model. I was like "wow, they actually get something resembling chest hair. That's nice." More beards and chest hair would be great. If only to admire from afar, haha

It's really strange you can't swap out horns per face! It would be great if Au Ra were able to change horns because then, there wouldn't be so many clones- as far as female au ra go- I've seen more varied male au ra lately.

I want to be lost in a sea of manly body hair

We simply don't have the technology.

- Love,

Yoshi P

I approve. I'd like to have more than just mild scruff on the chin

I'd love for them to add more character creator options, but from what the developers have said, trying to do so will probably cause the FFXIV servers to implode, creating a black hole that destroys the entire planet. All because we asked for Highlander eyebrows. Shame on you for trying to destroy the planet.

It hasn't stopped them developing a workaround in the form of butt enhancing gear, so I'm sure they could figure out a workaround for other customisation options. Especially when the number of male characters is steadily rising as revealed by recent census data - it's a roughly equal split in the NA/EU versions of the game.

Take my like!

It would be nice for them to add more hair options in general. Let’s see what they do with the viera issue currently with their hair.
