Character Creation Options!

[Visch]

I'm not sure where you are going with your reply. The minimum and maximum are things that can be adjusted. It's not wise to disable options because you don't think you can limit or regulate them.

This is where I went with it.

Therefore cannot be trusted to freely adjust there character so they can have a butt the size of a small car.

Have you played Perfect world international?

It has all that stuff and cat girls

Just don't make your character bust size too big, ppl will get pissy.

I have and honestly I like ffxiv character creation. We don't need pokemon professor Ivy looking characters.
The set sizes are part of the characters make up. You don't see miqo'te the size of a doll.

Yup, the same thing with second life. Anyone who has ever played a game that lets you completely edit everything about your character will quickly notice it's not exactly good.

even if i'd love a miqo'te with j cup, such deep customization isn't always good.
I still remember the terrible super-deformed and mignon characters in aion <_<'

It doesn't have to be mi'qote with a J cup (besides, maybe someone wants the A cup). The system is already there. A variety of breast sizes already exist. The size is changed according to which face is selected. If only it was not tied to which face is chosen..
And it's not just about the breast people... This thread is about more character customization options. That is not just anatomy size but also different hair styles (4-8 max?), how the highlights are implemented (like you like how one highlight looks but you can't get the same high light with a different haircut) Could be make up or more things to set you apart like tattoos (yes mi'qote have them but again you can't do the combination you like. The face comes with a tattoo and you can't have a face of your choice with a tattoo of your choice.. it's either 1,2,3 or 4) that just is not enough.

Agreed, I'd also love to see more character customization options eventually! Especially hair. It's like when picking the hairstyles for hyur females, SE was thinking, "hmm, which hairstyles can we use that are the most utilitarian looking and the least cute?" >.<

I'd imagine that sliders would be fine for some things if they are only within a set range. For example, instead of choosing either shortest/short/average/tall/tallest for height, you have a slider bar that lets you pick any height that would fall between the shortest and tallest for that given race and gender. It'd be nice to have a similar option for breasts. But on some level I find it amusing and strangely fitting that Mi'qote -- known for being the "sexy" race that more males play as than females -- have a more boyish figure and only one bust option: small. xD It is actually one of the reasons I picked Hyur, they can be curvier.

I suggest just to start us off by not dividing the options by race/face. If we were able to go down a list of scars or hairstyles that didn't depend on race/face than things would be a bit better. I would wan't them to still add new options but that could at least be a start.

It would be cool if you could select a side of the face and choose what scar and tattoo you wanted from all options we currently have. Also, to be able to choose any hairstyle we wanted regardless of race.

Pfft my character in second life looks awesome and proportionately is under control.

Then you are a rare breed xD

[Nephera]

well some people actually like playing ugly characters,gasp what a surprise.

Having played aion, and apb (and really a million other mmos) yeah i'd like to see better customization across the board. No i dont think this has to be exactly the same, but having seen plenty of people with the same hair color and style we should probably eventually get a barber shop and a few extra hairstyles/faces/accessories.
