That's hardly what I would define a "bit".

It's pretty much in line with today's standards. Some cases with more options (which often lead to hideous results) hardly qualify as a "standard".
It's XI, with some minor enhancements. Is it better? Sure. Is it a continuation of XI's character creation? Yup.

You still have characters that roughly like the same. As OP showed, there are numerous ways to really make a difference, and many MMOs (and numerous other genres) do go for something a little more varied. Numerous people in this topic have agreed on this as well.
