Manly Looking Characters

[LordHadi]

The real world already has too many macho-wannabes crying about this "manly" stuff. I'm glad FFXIV don't have thiese idiotic options.

Although, you can always make a Roe. They are cool without looking like a WWF fighter.

Sorry, I had enough seeing what you call "men" with long bright hair running everywhere looking like strippers lol. FFXIV is a game for battling and not a summer catwalk.

And FYI, I'm not a macho-wannabe. These are my features in real life whether you like it or not, and it's a request to have them in game. Not everyone was born smooth like you.

This must be the first time you are confronted with the fact that other people may have different preferences than you. Scary, isn't it? But don't worry, you'll get used to it. Eventually. Probably.

I would totally support this, I love seeing everyone looking totally different from each other

FFXIV is a theme park MMO, actually, but if it was for battling, why care so much about what people look like instead of just doing your battles?

Anyhow, it's far from my personal aesthetics, but hey: variety is great. More options mean more variety, so yeah, I support the idea. ^^ Few different textures should be doable, at the very least.

I came here thinking this was a "post your screenshots" thread for manly characters. I am bitterly disappointed right now.

Roe doesn't work very well as a substitute for body hair, especially if your char is a roe already, and quite lacking in body hair....

[Nestama]

I believe the mods responded by saying that body hair would cause clipping issues or something of that nature. Incredibly silly, considering that if body hair were an option, it would be hidden under armour/robes if people chose to wear what they're given, rather than glamour what is made.

I'm all for it, though. My Roe (to me) looks unusual looking smooth.

We're looking into this, but body hair would be a completely new element, and there is a possibility that it would affect some gear designs. We expect adding body hair will take a lot of work, so for now we'd like to prioritize adding new hairstyles that are being requested.

Was a little wrong, but there it is.

I'm trying to imagine a taffeta shawl draped over a carpet of virility. I support body hair options for comedic value alone.

Perhaps in the meantime we can get a chest glamour item from Gold Saucer that gives you thick, luxurious chest hair. And make it unisex.
