Thanks for all the input and commentary. I get so incredibly tired of the limited options on how a character can look, so I suppose that's my "hidden agenda". WoW's been around for many years and they've still ever managed to model a new dragon, even for a major boss in the game, so obviously modelling for an MMO is the hardest thing ever. The best they could do for hairstyles is swap them around with other races.

What I'm trying to say is, if I could at least look and feel like an actual Final Fantasy character as opposed to "generic fantasy adventure X" which this game clearly is, I'd be a lot more patient with their changes. And I feel that is something that could be done while we're waiting on all these "important" patches, since they have nothing to do with the battle system.

But as I've read earlier, lord knows there's probably 10 people left working on this thing, while we're all picturing an entire building full of top-notch programmers and artists.
