Request: Please update the character creator!

[Theodric]

IIRC we were told the overhaul is far enough out not to be expecting it at any point.
With this in mind getting our hearts set on 7.0 is probably dangerous and just voluntarily courting disappointment.

Eh, I don't know.

Blizzard were asked for update their character creator in WoW for years and initially acted very dismissive regarding the issue. Eventually they caved in and did it not once but twice. Other MMO's have also recently upgraded their graphical capabilities and character customisation. We might not see it happen in FFXIV with 6.0, though 7.0 is...three years away, roughly. That's a pretty long time, especially if the likes of Blue Protocol and Pantheon manage to appeal to a portion of FFXIV fans.

Fair point.
And I agree.
But if they're gonna be dismissive about a timetable it's not really a good idea for us to go "7.0 let's go!"
We can't decide their timetable for them (other than unsubbing lol you're right there).
