More Facial Feature Options Please!

[Mimilu]

Remilia_Nightfall's post about playing as children has got me thinking, We need more facial feature options! We haven't gotten any new facial features since 2.0 released (the closest being the upgrade to Fem!Roe's lips).

I'm not talking about make up or scars and beauty marks (although I'm all for more of those too), I'm talking about different brow, eye, nose, mouth, chin/jawline, and head shapes.

As of now, it is very difficult to make a character that stands out from the rest of their race, player or NPC (especial Miqo'te and Lalafells. The Elezen are getting to that point too, with Heavensward out). With more variety in our options we could easily see more range in character design and more personalization with our character.

I'm not suggesting adding sliders like other games, Tera, Elder Scrolls, The Sims, etc (although that would be a great idea) but maybe more then 4-5 choices per category would be nice.

Some Customization Suggestions:
*Note: this is NOT a list of demands, just suggestions. No one should expect to get all of them but getting a few would be very nice. *

- More Face Option. As of now, Male Midlanders are at 6, Female Midlanders are at 5, and everyone else is at 4.
- More Mature options for every race and gender.
- More Youthful options for every race and gender.
- More Androgynous options for every race and gender.
- More facial features options for brows, eyes, noses, mouths, and jawlines/chins.
- More facial hair options for every race.
- Naturally, more hair and face paint.
- Add more tattoos and facial features (like beauty marks, scars, forehead gemstones, etc.)
- For Au'Ra, separate horns from the face. Naturally, add more horn options as well.
- For Au'Ra, more face scale options.
- For Au'ra more color options for horns and scales. Maybe even color options.
- For Elezen, Lalafells, and Miqo'te, add more ear options. Maybe even add a half-Elezen ear option for Hyurs and Roegadyn.
- For Miqo'te and Au'Ra, add more tail options. Bob Cat Miqo'te.
- For Miqo'te, add a fang/no fang option for both tribes. Maybe even add a fang option for the other races too...Maybe...
- For Miqo'te, add a way to remove the face marks that is on them.
- Additionally, give Miqo'te options to
- For Highlanders, let them have an eyebrow option like the Au'Ra.
- For the rest of the races, add an no-eyebrow option.
- Add options to alter pupils like big, small, slitted, etc.
- Muscle sliders for every race and gender.
- Pump up the breast slider a bit more. Minfilia is clearly using hax for those.
- Bring back the booty slider for everyone.
- Allow us to set a default expression for our characters face. Maybe I want a character that looks smiley or a character that is grumpy-looking.
- Add one more area to the customization screen that is evenly light with white light.
- Maybe add a way for races to unlock other races' hairstyles.
- Allow players the chance to get the Lightning and Snow hair, either freely or bringing back the event.
- Add a Dark-Light setting (like with lip color and face paint) for Hair Highlights (some of the hairstyles don't allow dark colored highlights).
- Allow a character to have more then one Face Paint option on them.
- Allow player the ability to change their eye color at the Aesthetician.

I'm always for more options. Like for mouths, it might be nice to have more small tight lips. or more eyebrow options that help with perpetual expressions, like a touch of worry or anger.

[Kelg]

I would like eyebrows at least. But yes more faces would be nice.

[Terrini]

Oh yes, give Highlanders the option to NOT shave their eyebrows. Not everyone needs to be traditional.

I agree with this post. I'm not a fan of sliders but a few more options would diversify the populace even more. Coming from WoW and FFXI, overall I'm very content with the character customization in this game as it is leaps and bounds better than both those games. Through glamours, new armor sets, dyes, hairstyles, and now the newer race I find more and more unique-looking characters all the time. However, I agree that we need more options overall to diversify the face department.

[TinyMonster]

I totally agree with this post! More options please!

[Samcaesar]

As long as I could make a 7' Auri woman with a more mature face I'd be fine with supporting this.

Just gonna tell you ahead of time though OP, two things to watch out for, the inevitable "When 4.0 happens sure lol PS3 limitations" will be said and just as the "SE please separate the horns from the face with the Au Ra" is over 500 likes and doesn't even have a response from a community rep, don't expect much to come from this thread sadly.

[Riardon]

I agree with this post. This game has really poor character customization. The Au Ra is the race with the most choices atm. I would like more options and something more drastic for all races. I'm not happy with only 3 to 4 options to chose from. It's time to prepare a character customization patch which will focus in this matter for all races.

Yep, more eyes, noses and mouths would be especially nice. Eyes and mouths make a HUGE difference in how characters look! We've finally got a nice range of hairstyles (though more is always good ) but yeah, more facial features for more unique appearance would be nice...

...unfortunately, I think it comes down to ps3 limitations. But, you never know...

Yeah, sadly, this is probably what it comes down to right now. Hopefully whenever they finally drop PS3 support, we'll get to see some progress in this area...
