New Race?

Thing about the Mithra was the facial markings were tied to the hairstyles, meaning you couldn't mix and match.

Ugh. That sounds as bad as tying horn styles to faces.

Yeah XI didn't have a lot of options. Height was decided by either picking small, medium, or large. Each race had 8 face options, and each face had two different hair colors. For example, my elvaan could have either black or silver hair. It was VERY common to run into your twin in XI. In that regard XIV is way ahead in the customization game, buuut having more options is never a bad thing. Personally, I'd like to see the wildwood's earring clamps be made available to duskwights.

Well, XI was on PS2, so the lack of options really wasn't that surprising. My comment about Mithras was under the assumption you'd have the same customization capacity with them as you do with the current races, or more. More bestial looking, more cat-like nose-mouth designs, sharper teeth (Moon Keepers have sharp canines, very hard to see though), light/thin fur, more exaggerated use of the ears/tails, etc.

The biggest gripe I have about Miqo'te customization is the fangs being exclusive to the Moon Keepers. I love the way those look, but I can't stand the eyes on them. I suppose that was the trade off between the two clans, the Seekers got the feral eyes, the Keepers got the teeth. I would've preferred it if either clan could have either style of eyes or fangs, and have the difference be elsewhere, like ear shape or much greater variation in skin tones.
