4.0 new character model wish

**Oatmealraisin** · 06-19-2016 10:45 AM

I'd love more customizations for existing races. Elezen really need some face options that are less... niche. Miqo'te need more options for everything, if only to make the legions of catgirls less same-y. Pretty much everyone wants to mix and match Au Ra horns and faces. Or how about having different kinds of body types, so characters could be skinnier/stockier in addition to having adjustable height? Lots of stuff they could do to add variety.

Something something PS3 limitations.

Biggest things for me is some additional options for Au'ra faces/scales, and being able to pick a different run animation (this coming from fem Midlanders).

This would then make the crab-claw horns nearly non-existent. I'm sorry but those horns are atrocious and clips with a lot of the hairstyles. Most would agree with me here.

*slams fist on the table*

BODY HAIR FOR MALES! chest, arm & legs!

(pictures not mine, but some might recognize the Roe in them)

~~But alas it's not likely to happen cause body hair is...not popular in Japan, heck even girls have to shave the hair off their arms so...yeah~~

I mean it just makes sense. Adding a new playable race requires every piece of gear in the game to be adjusted to fit the model. On top of that work needs to be done to ensure they 'fit' correctly in cut-scenes. Then there's the matter of animation work...which only gains in difficulty as more and more new emotes are added to the game.

Therefore adding to the existing options for the current batch of playable races will do a world of good. I would happily play a Highlander Male, for instance, if they add some real options for eyebrows and in addition to that give some more classically handsome options for facial features.

Miqo'te and Hyur Midlander are the two most customizatable races. The other races
need more options in order to balance the discrepancy between model selections.

Races like Au Ra, Hyur Highlander, Roegadyn, and even Elezen (due to the duplicate faces) need serious help in the customization department.
Sadly the Dev team has only been adding hairstyles in each update and I honestly doubt the PS3 is the issue if they are able to pump more and more
hairstyles in every patch.

I'm assuming its probably because newer models/options are not something flashy that you would be able to put in a Trailer.

You wont be seeing them adding new jaw options for Female Roegadyn or Female Au Ra, or a 5th new face for Elezen and Hyur Highlander and putting that in a trailer on its own.
Especially Female Roegadyn, Elezen, and Highlander due to how utterly unpopular they are compared to Miqo'te, lalafell and Au Ra.

When we were considering the options, there were mentions of making female Au Ra more stocky and buff. However the data that's been complied about what race and gender are being used, indicate that Hyur Highlander females and Roegadyn females are not used by very many players.

If they were to add any new model upgrades it would have to be everything, and all in one big update.
This is probably the reason why we haven't heard anything on the subject either and why its only been hairstyles. It could possibly take a lot of development to do this for every race.

Below I have some details on what each race/gender has as far as selections.

I just want a butt slider

**KeluBehemoth** · 06-21-2016 08:04 PM

I would play a male Au Ra for the same reason. Their running animation is so stupid. Their feet dont move at the same speed that they do. Their standing idle emote is... No offence to anyone but really really gay. Like... Im all down for Michael Williams or Darren Young gay but not like... Richard Simmons gay. At least not if I'm running a Dark Knight.
