Character Creation ideas for 4.X

[SavingPrincess]

These are some (reasonable) things that are completely doable. I imagine they wouldn't be completely possible with the PS3 still in play, but with a little ingenuity, you could just lock visuals on PS3 clients to defaults (i.e. they don't see your sliders, makeup, etc.) which in turn would "strongly suggest" to PS3 players that maybe it's time to upgrade to get the "Full experience!"

What are your ideas? What do you think of these? Feel free to yell at me and tell my I'm stupid below.

You can edit your post to bypass 1000 characters limit.

To me, most of it seems a bit impossible. For example, how sliders work. It's a really huge change that would affect all the rest of the armors in the game.
I don't like auras, they're exaggerated and don't really fit FFXIV aesthethic, I can't see any good lore reason for a "crafted aura".
I also wouldn't like to see biracial stuff. I mean, if you want Elezen ears, go and play Elezen. Embrace the race that you're playing. If you can pick a part of something that you like from race x and y, you lose all the immersion and lore that comes with these traits.
As for the rest, I agree. I just think that some of the suggestions don't really account the FFXIV universe and it's limitations as a game.

There are bi-racial characters in the game though, which is, I imagine, a big reason this thread was started. It's even the first thing mentioned in it.

Some of the things suggested are a little silly though. Roe with lala head? Get out.

Why not? I switched to Highlander from Miqo'te simply because I wanted a more taller and built character model with better facial hair options. Had I been able to simply make my Miqo'te more like this I wouldn't have changed.

I actually like the way you've split this up; it makes it easy to like the parts I most agree with.

One thing I'd like to add though, unless changeable in-game, are emote sets. I feel like certain emotes should be multiracial, and the running animations especially should have an extra option. (This has steered me and I fear many others away from even attempting a female midlander Hyur, and though that running style may technically be sufficient or even optimal for an Elezen...)

The hair-parts, each with adjustable lengths, and a few more anti-clipping options would be great as well. Anything more than those are beyond anything I expect SE would ever implement, but if I were to go further, I'd have to say I'd like an extra physique option for each race.
