Body Hair for males.

[Roll]

I would loooove to see body hair in game!

We need body hair options to make males look like the one in your sig.

As a guy who likes other guys with body hair, I approve this thread. Cheers.

as soon as body hair will be implemented, ppl will start to complain that their body hair isnt moving and it looks like its just a tatoo and then BOOM....it will require more RAM, so more ppl will complain coz their pcs suck all of a sudden -___-

so at the end most of the ppl who want it now, will end up complaining coz they cant even enjoy it... geez dat spiral of doom DOOOM i say DOOOOM!!! and u know it....even tho id like my miqote to be more fluffy .____.

I would love to see male character with body hair. It's always seemed odd that some (read:roegadyn and highlander) didn't have any when, well, they are supposed to be symbols of virility (especially the highlanders). I can see why they don't (body hair in Japan is actually frowned upon and isn't quite as common as in Western countries) but the game world doesn't feel like a place where people shave or wax themselves.

What?... when does body hair blow in the wind? I would actually be really creeped out by breeze-blown body hair...

Physical simulations are a process, the stress would be added to the GPU or GPU, memory wouldn't be an issue here at all.

People wouldn't complain about the physicality, just like no-one complains that Elezen or Lalafell ears don't wiggle when you walk.



I hope you're being sarcastic here.

Yes please. But I doubt they'll expand too much on appearance options until they drop PS3 support. It doesn't seem like it would be any more difficult than adding a new piece of chest gear, but without any actual modeling, just a texture.

Technically the texture would be applied to a 'model' essentially a 'ghost' model that sits atop the model.
(Calling it a Ghost Layer for convenience and simplicity)

Currently all facial features and hair are carefully placed 'ghost' model layers.


Even the 'skin-head' options for midlander/highlander males is a 'ghost' 3D model layer.

As you can see in this image the hair and facial hair are simply floating 3D models;

That would be something, but with a Japanese Development Team that's very unlikely. (Unless this thread stirs them to do it I guess)

I support body hair for males but only if midlanders get stuck with an extremely embarrassing little patch of it to punish them for being midlanders, and match the awful looking peach fuzz pencil staches they have now.

That would certainly explain a lot, but I think it's more of a cultural taste thing. Interesting to see a lot of people passionate about it in the least.

Might as well ask SE to give you a wolf race as in Lone Wolf
