Child-like characters?

[RyuSaarva]

I'm very much aware that we would most likely have to wait for an entire new FF MMORPG to see anything close to what F2P games have been pulling off for a while now. Honestly, I stopped expecting much when they released Viera and Hrothgar. I don't expect them to release much in regards to character customization. But if somehow they fount whatever resources and funding that they needed to add them and maintain them, I would definitely be one of the people asking for either a short race or better customization as a whole. Or both.

The only reason why I'm even in this thread is I cannot believe the amount of people creating double-edged swords as a way to keep this game perfect in their eyes. If you wanted to simply say you just don't like short races, fine. But to go as far as to say PR and some perve or whatever nonsense is why they shouldn't add short/child-like races in if they ever considered doing so, is BS. SE stating their own double edge statement only made it worse. But as I said, you do you.

PS. Nandrolone, I'm not raging at you I'm just stating how I feel. I know I can come off a little strong sometimes.

Just what exactly have the F2P games been pulling off that FF XIV is not doing?
Loli races for erp?

I think they mean character creator options, not races itself. And well, in this regard there are plenty of games that have more flexible tools. From something at least somewhat new - Black Desert Online (that was even released on phones not long ago) - the whole aesthetic is quite meh in my opinion, but the character creator is not bad in terms of what it can offer to the player.
From more or less old games Aion, Blade and Sould or Revelation Online are good examples of flexible character creators, customizations options wise.
If we had something like this without changing the overal design of the game it would give people a lot of material to work with. Though probably will never happen, mostly because it's a major overhaul of what we have now in creator.

I'm going to take you back to the first major MMORPG I ever played. Perfect World International. They recently remade that game into mobile and I must say it looks stunning. But what brought back the nostalgic jokes surrounding that game where the comments related to it. How we used to spend 2 freakin hours customizing our characters in character creator. You could make, LITERALLY, whatever you wanted with their character customization. Want some wierd alien fox chick? You could make it. Wanted to see if you can create your all-time favorite celebrity? People were either spot on or close. It was insane. To this day, I have yet to have found a game that was on that level. Black Desert is the closest I have seen to be able to do that. But with all the eastern aesthetics it makes it hard for me to see that game on the same level. And I will add the fact that I haven't played that game myself to see the full extent of what you can make.

As for another? For the first time, I am actually getting hyped up to play an upcoming Mobile MMORPG called Dragon Raja. That game has both presets AND sliders for your character. Most would say it competes with BnS. Both of those games show far more variety of what you can create than this game. Do I hate the way my characters look? No. But do I wish they would get with the times and update it. Hell yes. We can't even wear glasses and a hat for goodness sake. And yet in Dragon Raja , a mobile game, you can have a hat, glasses and carry an umbrella...and then there's this game...

As for your loli comment, just lol. If you want to blanket an entire group of people who like to play small races/loli/shota as ERP lovers, be my guest. It just opens the doors for everyone to blanket everyone.
