FFXIV Idea - This one is a keeper!

Yeah good idea, if they make new hairstyles and new colours (no that doesn't mean just 1 SE...).
Otherwise, why bother?

I remember in SWG the image designer was pretty popular, even if made fun of. :P They could change another players look and even charge for the service.

I could certainly see this, or some other means to achieve the same thing, if 2.0 provides a lot of options for character customization. Usually, asian MMOs focus less on the individual though so I'm unsure as to how much more customization we can expect. What we have now is the standard for games made in that area of the world. Certainly nothing like CoX in the way of character personalization.

I'd like to see it if they provide us with more than just a handful of hairstyles, faces, etc.

Not sure how I feel about the name change. I kind of see that more as a means for a troublemaker to slide under the radar on their server. Maybe paid name changes just for those people who really want to change their name.

aren't we parting hairs then? Most are just wanting content and things to do and not styling hair. Seems dumb to me. Sure it adds originality but more?

My Level 50 Weaver can give you some sick braids yo!

So for a long time, even while playing FFXI I had the dream of being able to change my hair color/style. I also think being able to change your name (even is just once per character creation). My reason for these ideas are simple... Like many of you I played FFXI for a few years and wouldn't it be nice to have been able to change things up after awhile? What does everyone think?

name change is good for someone who might be getting picked on, but it making it even easier for people who are a-hole to be a-holes

when 2.0 turns around I hope they add all the new races they are going to add, not a week later after we get a chance to redo our chars.

Would suck if they released new races after they allowed us to do it, who here would reroll a new char ? O.o

Make Hairstylist a craft.

At max rank you can cut a sick fade.

It's already been confirmed that they intend to add a feature similar to this eventually with 2.0, so don't worry.

[Wolfie]

Don't worry about Patriarch, he's bitter and jaded that he got shot down multiple times for not wanting to bring some dumb FFXI idea into FFXIV without providing any justification or reason for it aside from "well it was in FFXI."

Being able to customize your character's looks after creation is one of those minor things that makes the game hugely fun for a lot of people. I'm all for this idea.

Yeah we don't need more originality in character design, I mean nobody looks even similar in FFXIV right? Sorry for being so incredibly stupid, whatever was I thinking, more choice, always a bad thing right!?
