Character Creation Options!

[redmage]

Agreed, I don't think a limitation should be imposed on something such as changing hairstyles/tattoos and whatnot =) Players should be free to do so as long as they're able to spend the gil necessary. Now for something as drastic as changing gender/race/clan and such... I think that should be done with a ticket of sorts through account services.

As for sliders, I'd welcome it! They could impose a limit of course for just how skinny/fat you can make certain races, same with height so we won't get lalafell sized Roegadyns (as amusing as that'd be to see). I remembered the first wide game art they featured with all those races gathered, that some speculated the blond hyuran at the front looked to be a child and people thought we may be able to choose "age" for our character. That would have been interesting, but not totally necessary.

As for face sliders, further being able to fine tune our choices from the base faces would be fantastic, even if most of the time you're the only one to truly appreciate the differences in the choices you make.

My only real complaint about the customization features in FFXIV is that a lot of the options look exactly the same.

When I was making my character, there were multiple instances where I would select a different option on one aspect, but couldn't tell what had changed on my character.

What's the point of having ten different options for a particular aspect of your character's appearance when all ten of those options look so near identical that you'll never be able to tell them apart?

We don't need more options, we need greater distinction between existing options.

[Huh]

We had such limited options at launch and I really do hope to see more customization options. ...At least some new hairstyles if anything else. 4 styles per some races is horrid. :[

Hair options are really disappointing. I expected more. I kinda expected to see different options for front, back and side hairs.

Barber DoH class, can I have it ;v

Speaking of hairs though, I wouldn't mind if they added

to the game. I was disappointed when I didn't find it when I bought the game, since that was my character in 11.

A barber is DEF a must. And, imo, it doesn't need any sort of a cooldown or real money. Just make it a fairly small gil cost everytime. Changing your skin color/face/etc, that could be more grounds for spending real money (even though, I still think that could still cost gil, maybe a cooldown).

I play WoW (I know ..), and the barber is prob one of the most fav things they ever added. It's just nice to be able to change up your look here and there. Really takes out the monotony.

I thought they was going to implement a "barbershop" type thing in the future...?

What currently bothers me about the character creator is that certain additional features are either tied to race (some are acceptable, but the tattoos being limited?), or even worse to face type (scar position, etc).

It's like I have this face that I want, but I like the look of this feature but my chosen face type doesn't support that exact look. Why didn't we get a features list with a toggle on/off option plus a scroll down menu for types? *coughunfinishedgamecough*

I'd like a facial expression option like Aion's.


I like smiling.

actually some expressions would be nice, like winking or having closed eyes if you sit and stay idle for too long (/away)
