What feature would you add for more unique characters?

Well as for the looks I've found that while more options on character creation would be good, they aren't really needed. If you want an unique character make one that stand out from the ordinary. Most people want their character to look normal or cool and then you end up with similar characters.

Vanity system will be there for the non-character-creation options as well as the barber shop in 2.1.

As for builds, in way the jobs are like different builds. Ofc we still need to get jobs for that to make sense. But tbh a bit of horizontality wouldn't hurt. Although often this just seems like you have a lot of options to build your character, but is actualy an illusion. You end up with 2-3 builds that have to be used to be efective. It just leaves more room for people who already don't do any research to be even worse off.

I'm also not sure that materia should be there for costumization. That would limit builds to the rich. Materia should be there to enhance the performance but not decide a build imo.
