    No MMO that has focused on character creation options has been more than mildly successful at best.

    It's a dumb way to use valuable resources no matter what time we live in, period.

    Where is the proof they failed because they invested in a good character system?
    If they failed at adding any meaningful comment, it doesn't mean advanced character creation it's a dead end. It just means they failed at content/game mechanics, SE managed to do that with FFXIV as well - without an advanced char system. (And they think they failed as well, they wouldn't try to change half of the game otherwise)

    SE has enough resources to do this right.
    And no one is screaming "SE DO THIS NAO!!!!".

    Aion. Yes, only mildly successful here in the US, but it's a massive success in Asia.

    I hate to break it to you but games like Aion and APB failed in NA because of the lack of content focus (meanwhile, Aion is still going strong on private servers and in Asia, imagine that!).

    I hate to burst your bubble, but Aion has over 4mil subs and City of Heroes just celebrated their 7 year anniversary.

    As far as the things I want


    Female Roegadyn
    Better more fantasy hair styles (Mowhawks, dreadlocks, cornrows, flophawks, shaved heads, all for the girls as well)
    And Wider hips. <3

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    i do not want to play your game lol, fantasy doesnt just entail hideous fashion mistakes, you might aswell ask for beehives and bubbleflips as hair options. it just looks like its trying to hard to me.
    to me a good fantasy hairstyle has interesting lines, why not take hairstyles from fashion magazines if anything?
