What do would you like to see added to the character creator?

[KisaiTenshi]

Now personally, I'd love to see a few things added.

1 - Make the height range for each race go from the shortest option for the girls of that race to the tallest option for the men of that race.

2 - Muscle slider for everyone, even buff little lalafell with 6 packs because that'd be hilarious.

3 - Maybe the option to view your character in a variety of sets like how it worked in the benchmark? That was you could observe how they look in the AF2, AF1, The level set for 15/30, et cetera

A few secondary race specific options I'd like..

Hyurs and Roegadyn - a Bodypaint/Tattoo option, seeing as how I'd also like the (current) Hyur/Roegadyn specific option to be made for all races, I'd love if they got the option to do some kinda of Tattoo/Body paint option instead, maybe centered around the back and torso so that they don't come in conflict with the outfits with those weird tattoos anyways.

Au Ra and Miqo'te - More tail options, especially with the the Au Ra, but also with things like the addition of a small bobcat-esque tail for Miqo'te.

- Ear options for the Miqo'te would be nice! Perhaps you'd want longer or shorter ones? Or maybe you'd want them to fit the highlights of your hair for some weird fashion ideas!

- a "More Scales" (Or maybe a "Add some fur patches" option for the Miqo'te?) for the Au Ra! One that'd make the scales cover more of the body instead of just the scale patches we currently have.

- A more mature face option for the girls, one that might give them little chin crests and make the scales on their face seem a bit thicker.

- I'd also love separating the Au Ra's horns from their faces (And I'm sure everyone who reads this knows about the thread!) as well as additional horn options (Such as maybe making all the horns available shared between the men and women?)

1. I don't think there is much point in this, as only the Auri seem to even have enough of a height difference. Rather I'd take have an age-slider that 'scales' the face, height, bust/shoulders and butt by a small factor (eg "young, adult, battle-worn, elderly") to at least give some reason for the shape difference, particularly the face.
2. Muscle tone slider , aka "thinness/fatness" I think is within the reason, since most of what accounts for fatness/muscle tone in a 3D model is increasing the diameter of the body parts by some scale, which would also scale the gear they are wearing. Why it wouldn't work the way we think it does has more to do with the clipping of loose fabrics when the character emotes.
3. That is certainly needed.

The Miqo'te tails I've always had a love/hate with. They don't move like cat's tails, but seem too articulated in emotes. Like to give you an idea, when you move about, it's like the tip of the tail is being pulled up by an invisible string, and is more like a sock than a tail. I'll buy that it's only cat-like in appearance, but it makes me think that when they went from V1.0 to V2.0 they just didn't give a damn about how tails work with clothing and let it clip through everything instead of having gear take tails into account. A similar point can made about Auri.

So if you add new Tail shapes, it probably wouldn't work just from not being able to use the existing Miqo'te tail shape in animations. Likewise with the Ear shapes, some clothing, particularly robes have "ear socks" so changing the shape of the ears wouldn't be doable.

I've thought of reasons for why the face and the horns on an Au Ra aren't separate and I think it's likely the face and horns are fused for conversation animations. It doesn't really seem like it would be much effort to separate them as the horns are all attached at the same point, but it might skew all the "hat/helmet" gear.

And again... butts. While not really a big deal to me, you can clearly tell which gear was from V1.0 because of the larger butt and tail allowances.
