I like playing all kinds of characters. It's also kind of yawwwn seeing the sameface cat girl in town all of the time. We're in need of new customization across the board.






It's because the character creator runs on the same template for everyone but different things go in the same spaces on the templates.Completely! Just separating what we have right now would add a bunch. Plus there are some really weird arbitrary limitations. For example, Miqo male face 04 is forced to always have the eye side tattoo, while the face 01 has the SAME tattoo, but toggleable. It would be cool if we could stack 02 face paint options as well, for example. Also, dunno why the muscle tone slider isn't available for everyone out there.
The races that get muscle tone control (Hyur and Roegadyn) are the two without ear- or tail-length sliders.
Everyone only gets two racial tattoo options - except for Wildwood Elezen who have ear cuffs and Au Ra who have the glowing eye "limbal rings" in the same template space. Miqo'te face #4 loses control over the eye markings but adds nose markings. (Likewise the "other features" section always has five choices, so while both Miqo'te clans generally have the same customisation features, Keepers lose one option to be replaced with a clan-specific forehead gem.)
For what it's worth, I read the eye markings as natural skin markings that must develop as the person ages, since it happens across all cultures and (from memory) it's only optional for the youngest-looking face, plus the "tattoos" look more like face paint to me - so could read it either as the character maybe not being old enough to have the markings yet, and possibly painting them on instead to look older.
I also think the eye markings look better in that darkened-skintone colour than in a stand-out colour, so I'm glad of it being built into face #4 as I use that with a brown-skinned character and (on experimenting to see if I could get the cheek stripe tattoos to the same colour) I could not get anything close to that colour in the palette. I made them contrast instead, but I wouldn't have wanted that on the eyes.

How do they type like that? Their KB made out of candy or something?









Lol! Please, a person isn't supposed to laugh this hard!
Oh right, faces, this is face thread, faces uh.. Sure yeah, we could always use more faces, 30 year old face yeah, yeah cool. Old man face, nah. The old man faces we have are hideously ugly too, they couldn't even make them look good. Like distinguished I mean.

I'd like to see more interesting scar options. All we have now are a few scratches on some races. Give us a ragged-edged tear, or a Zuko burn mark, or damaged horns and notched ears.
