I realized none of the FFXIV races appeal to me, anyone else?

Not going to suit everyone, but I'll throw my idea out there.

I don't actually care that much about appearances in game, and all the faces seem bland and samey. Back when 2.0 dropped, I had a chocobo mask from 1.0. I felt like showing it off, so I wore it everywhere, since no one else could obtain it back then (until they later added chocobo racing). I got quite used to it, and it eventually evolved into a limitation that I impose on myself. All jobs, always a mask. What's under the mask? Am I mangled/scarred/burned/branded? Leprosy? Am I even human? Perhaps there's nothing there, and I am merely a possessed suit of armor!? Use your imagination. No one is ever allowed to see my face + hair. Suddenly, most of the character customization options are irrelevant.


Yes, this does make those few cutscenes where they force your helmet off to be rather off-putting for me.
