FFXIV FanFest Q&A - Character Models

You're the one who said elezen necks are broken, OP? Thank you for the laughs. I was clutching my sides for a good minute.

This reminds me of the other Lala issues (fair warning, bikini lala incoming):

Would it be possible to request an official poll be supplied by SE to accurately gauge player desire for a normalization of Elezen proportions? I know i for one would welcome another poll to address aspects of the game the majority would like to see implemented. At this rate a sub race of half Elezen, with Elezen emote move sets, is the best i would hope for.

Well it's an improvement compared to the ones in FF11 at least. One of my alts is a female elvaan and the only glams I like on her are the body fitting ones or heavy armor. Aside from the neck/shoulders their slim figure is very beautiful. The issue of hair longer than the neck clipping with most armor is biggest prob I have though.

It's so sad because my favorite Lalafell idle pose is the one with their hands behind their back, and when combined with a bikini it's just.... nightmare fuel.

I know realistically asking for stuff like sliders everywhere is really hard work... But then how about add 3 new faces for each race/gender?
I swear, in this game everyone looks the same, sans the two or three people that actually pick the rugged and old-looking faces.

How about let us stack more make up options? I'd love to create a gradient with all three eyeshadows stacked.

How about making the height slider a bit more lengthy? The difference between the tallest and shortest of each race is not very noticeable.

These suggestions above, except the faces, don't require actually creating anything new, but just adjusting the values of parameters already in game.

The only thing XIV's customization system got perfectly is the abundant pool of hairstyles, that is constantly updated, and the color palletes for skin and hair.

if youve played SC6, mitsurugis tree trunk of a neck is hilarious once you notice it, guess everyone in SCs world is part elezen >P

My husband plays SC6 and said this to me and it made me groan so much.

Ayup! That was me. I about passed out from nervousness from being at the mic but hopefully this gets a little attention on our current races and some of the odd uh...quirks they have at times!

I just want them to add actual physics to our hair.

I would love that too.

You LITERALLY broke my brain with that. Is it okay if I post that to the front page for SE to see? If they look >>;;

No.

On topic though, having some meshes fixed for appropriate races would be nice.
