Character creation looks simple and easy to use and the quality of the character look is amazing :D i can see myself spending a good amount of time in it re-creating my character first thing will be fixing the colors of my eyes by mistake i got one blue and other yellow i hope is easier to notice you are doing that in the new creator an extra feature for dunesfolk and keepers of the moon i didn't know about hehe

The excitement. It's building.

Wow, thank you for creating this video series! Anything you do to keep those of us who aren't testing in the loop is much appreciated! :D

i cant wait! hope I've get choosen. ^-^

I like how you can put your character indoors or outside day/night to see how lighting will be on them in those conditions. And you can see what you will look like in full AF and relic =D.

Really great. I can't wait to see more.

Really glad you guys aren't holding off until 2.0 beta to give us glimpses. Really pumped about being able to recreate my character in 2.0~

Nice! Thank you.

I never get close enough to other characters to see the color of their eyes.

I think the character creation screen looks a little overwhelming. I don't want to deal with a million different settings. No one is going to ever notice many of these things.

Wish they would have shown male miqote

Just because you never get close to other characters doesn't mean others don't. If you don't want to use the settings, don't. No one is forcing you, just grab a preset appearance and rush into the game, just don't ruin it for those who care about small details.

@SE: more settings, (yes please)

I didn't notice it myself till i got into a CS and was quite clear ...

I'm so freaking pumped!
Whooooo!

The melody is too beautiful to be true .. it sure captures the feeling of been reborn after a tragic event :D amazing job done on it props to the composer!

Quick question: Will those that are remaking/changing our characters appearance from 1.0 be able to change the name day and guardian as well? I honestly didnt have a clue at the time of creation how these would play into the game when I choose them.

I love the increased variety of options, and the ability to see how they look in different settings and in motion! :3 Huge improvement!

Hopefully we can get a new video every week or two showing something different in Alpha in each one.

Coming up next week: Character Creation 2.

Might be nice to choose the color of our individual Gear items from the get-go at Creation Menu. :)

Seems likely to be somewhere between the two. Given that the Alpha is supposed to last ~1 month (probably closer to 1.5-2 SE time). One a week would be ~4 videos while one every 2 weeks would only be ~2 videos. I should think anywhere between 3-5 videos will be enough to keep interest high without running out of things to talk about - it is only an alpha after all.

i like the improvements made to the character creation and look forward to seeing more :)
