7.0 Graphics update feedback: Please give us more customization options!

[GalahGriff]

What bothers me is that modders are going to have a field day with this if nothing is improved, and I was quite satisfied with having a character made within the limits of the game that I was perfectly happy with (which is not the case anymore). I don't want to use mods, but if SE forces my hand I guess I might have to become a mod user in Dawntrail... And then console players get the shortest end of the stick since they can't even look at that option to get their characters back.

If the developers won’t bother with fixing issues or limitations in their character creator, it’s only natural that people are going to look for mods to solve their problems. Especially if they don’t listen to feedback with the 7.0 benchmark… I’m foreseeing a huge influx of mods & mod users come 7.0 if that’s the case.

The existence of a lot of cosmetic mods out there that satiate players’ desires to have their WOLs appearance, that the player has imagined, shown in the game itself reflects poorly on FFXIV. I mean this in the sense that mods really show how FFXIV is lacking in character customization options. I’ve seen stuff like basic makeup, beauty marks, & scar additions, (properly sized) hats for Viera & Hrothgar, & height + body size changes floating around online.

If FFXIV players can make & use these kinds of mods, why can’t the developers recognize the demand for these kinds of changes & add similar features to the game?

I’m way too lazy & not nitpicky enough about my characters’ appearances to bother with mods… & adding customization options should be the developers’ jobs, not the players’.

I have a great need for eyebrows that is not being satiated…

Honestly such a valid statement ,especially considering how many other gameplay features that were originally mods were just snatched and put into the game as new features. Something thats pretty common among the genre. With these new face tinkerings it really does beg the question why they haven't just expanded the character creator but choose to scrap things people were already content with and adding things in their place that are just not everyone's cup of tea and sparking this entire debacle.
