I had a korean pal who played with me, he complained that all the characters were all white (which I tried telling him there were other skin tones) or some annoying white cat chick (and there were barely any similar skin tones for minorities and if there were, they either weren't dark enough, or no yellow-ish shades that he could fit into) I could see his disappointment however. (I played an elvaan in FFXI *some of you can guess what model I chose from the look of my XIV character* because it was as close to a black person I could ever get, but It was a decision I'm completely happy with now) Perhaps we can send in a few complaints about the very limited character options (I mean, THIS IS supposed to be a NEXT GEN game after all..)
