Wouldn’t mind seeing my Lala in mobile if anyone has the time. Don’t know if they’re using the exact same numbers for things, but I’ll give mine below anyway.

Dunesfolk female, face 1, palest skin color, hair (229.193.122 base, 140.172.151 highlights), jaw 1, eyes 4 (28.51.53), iris large, eyebrows 2, nose 5, mouth 2 (lip color dark 161.65.56), ears 1 (shortest), facial features just #1, face paint double stars (49.107.120)

Hairstyle: spikey ponytail with side bang

Sure, here goes:



The colour picker is slightly different on mobile, but I hope I got them right. Also, the hairstyle isn't available (fairly small selection at this point), so I just picked one that didn't cover the face paint. Is facial feature #1 the longer eyebrows one? That was moved to the last spot on mobile for some reason... Anyway, let me know if I should tweak something.

Oh she looks good! Thanks for taking the time! And it looks like you got everything right. (Yes that’s the correct facial feature too.)

One thing I notice between mine and the others posted is that they did a much better job on the eyes! And the lips!

Shame they don’t have all the hairstyles in there yet. That ponytail was my old style and I thought it was just one of the more basic ones. Maybe by the time it releases in NA they’ll have more.

Great, you're welcome!

I was surprised to see so few hairstyles in such a cosmetics-heavy game. My first hairstyle wasn't there either, so maybe it wasn't in ARR. (I imagine there'll be a lot of paid ones, though.)

Some of the free stuffs in PC version are indeed paid stuff in mobile version.

I.e. the Glacial Robe.

Thank you all who are putting in the extra effort to give us these comparisons. I can't access the mobile version either right now, so would anyone be willing to remake my Midlander?

Nose 4
Mouth 4

Of course <3
I picked the closest visual hair (right-side sweep) to your normal to give a close approximation feel, but all data should be pretty much a match to what you gave above.

Weird that it shares the chin beautymark that face 5 usually has instead of the one below the eye, but other than that? Despite having a different, more modern visual identity than PC XIV, this is so much more of a faithful recreation that it's actually mind-boggling. And it's all in the simple things, too! That's what's so frustrating!

It's amazing how faithful the mobile FFXIV team is to the original character design. I've just looked through all the screenshots; it's the same faces, the same bone structure, and the facial features are very close to the pre-DT era. Fantastic.

I hope the mobile version recreates Au Ra faces as thoroughly as they recreated other races.

P.S. Dawntrail early access started a year ago.

Ikr? Ok now I really want to see my old Highlander… if anyone is bored and/or has time! lol
