The hairstyle/body type/face type request Megathread

[Eien713]

Sometimes I wish we could "customize" our characters' voices a bit more. By this I mean that we could for example choose voice 8 for the happy emote and voice 7 for the angry emote, etc. all for the same character. I know this might create shenanigans with people choosing deep voices and high-pitched voices for different emotes on the same character, but to each their own. I personally don't really focus on other characters' voices anyway (and I hope this is the case for the majority), so if people wanna do this, good for them. And I know that it might be tedious to choose every single voice for the different emotes, so we can just have a starting voice set exactly like we do now, but with the option to change the emote voice we don't like.

Definitely! That voice is the one we'll hear the most in the game. I'm surprised we can't do this already. Some battle shouts are annoying as hell. This is actually the reason I opted for my character's current voice (despite really disliking its maniacal laugh) rather than the other voice I also liked. God, I couldn't stand one of its battle shouts. Between a maniacal laugh I'll rarely hear (and can even avoid completely if I choose to) and an annoying battle shout that I can't avoid hearing repeatedly, it was a no-brainer XD

This would be a great addition, specially considering our Sound/Audio producer Soken is really into voice "modding" and voice systems (The Lahee song at Rak'tika is a virtual sound program, not a real person singing it, from what the community uncovered). So he'd be the perfect person to handle a voice "pitch" slider or something of the sort. For Viera for example almost half of their voices are literally male voices, for race of females who look like supermodels that's really way off; even female Roegadyn have more feminine sounding voices which is surprising.
Fran's voice/battle voice is very feminine; those who played XII remember her battle voice clearly.

If the voice slider isn't possible (spaghetti code) I wonder if they could try just adding more voices, or merging the racial tattoos option with the general tattoos to free up space.

I want King Leonidas'(from the movie 300) beard and hair for my Hroth. Also, the ability to change hair style without having to change my entire face using a Fantasia would be swell. Thanks!

Let's see...

I'd like to see more face paint options for characters. Instead of eyes or face, why not have both?

Increased breast size for female lalafell. Let them look more like the female lalafell in your FFXIV art!

Change to color slider for eyes and hair.

I'd bumping thisthread as it has bee re-mentioend of a desire for longer hairstyles. In addition, a desire of more "ethnic" hairstyles was expressed elsewhere on the forums. it also came to my attention that all of the hairstyles we received since a certain point came form a contest.

[HeyMcFly]

Longer hair with bangs! Gaia's hairstyle, Estinien's hair. Hilda & Lyse's ponytails. It's honestly about time we got some decent or better ponytails because there are none.

I wish Hrothgar got Horn options for all faces. Customizable length, fractures etc.

Also, I wish we could choose wether to have claws or not by default and not have them be tied to the hrotgar mitts clothing.

We could stand to lose a Ring too. Leave it as a glam slot, but do away with the stat slot. Would save us a chunk of Armoury space too ...

Would love to see that along with belts going the way of the dodo, too. Just increase the stats of other equipment slightly to compensate.
