Alpha First Look: Video 1 - Character Creation

[Abriael]

I'm actually curious if we'll get a way to just "convert" our character into the ARR character creation and apply just some changes instead of starting from scratch, just to make sure that our looks are still working well with the new engine.

The new character creation looks great. A bit more option for hairstyles (including long ones please) and the "features" menu (scars, facial hair and so forth) would be welcome though. At the moment is, like in 1.0 a little underfeatured.

It may seem silly, but I would amplify the difference between the minimum setting and the maximum in both the "Build" and the breasts options. Maximum build seems still less muscular than the current hyur male in 1.0, and "very large" breasts arent exactly impressive. Giving players a wider range of choices is advisable.

I think they don't want to make long hair to not get flooded by "it clips with gear x!"-complaints. I don't think I saw decently animated long hair in a game before, hair actually flowing like it should (most i saw were either stiff models or were too light) and without clipping.

TERA has a rather brilliant solution. When you have long hair and wear something with which it would clip irrimediably, it just ties your hair up.

Yeah, that's a quite elegant solution. Some people might complain they wanted to see the hair unaltered though, but that doesn't bother me as much as clipping does.
