Updating Existing Races

[ADVSS]

They should. The standards for character creations nowadays are far higher than the really cheap customization FFXIV brings us. Instead of giving us 12 different voice options for each race they could've given us more body sliders. We shouldn't even ask for 1.0 butt,
.

this really triggered me. ps3 limitiations? you know i have to admit back in my teen years sporting a ps1 there were WRESTLING games out there with much more customization and sliders available, and this is just 1 form of game on a lower level than even ps3 limitiations that allowed this stuff...but that was back in the day, with 1mb memory cards, im sure that the the mb required would just explode the servers now,i mean theyre right, its just too much. ps3 limitations, anything really, as if a ps3 cant handle thigh thickness or whatnot....

it's highly unlikely something like that will ever happen. or any major changes to existing character models. at this point the game they are pretty much finalize and i know SE does not want to go back and redo them.

I think it mostly has to do with how much gear they include with every 2 patches. 7 sets for Tomestones, 7 sets for raids, 28 sets for dungeons, 7 crated sets, 7 sets for 24 man is 56 total sets. 6 races takes it to 336 sets, add in 2 genders and you have 668 unique pieces of gear, not including glamour. That is a ton for a 7 month period. They took the approach of quantity over quality.

Many of us have disagreed with this design philosophy but I will agree with you. I don't see them changing back to quality over quantity.

I recall some dev post stating there was a third clan possibly out there in the world, we just haven't come across them yet.
Don't remember if this was specifically in regards to the Au Ra or for all spoken races. I checked real quick but couldn't find the post I'm remembering.

But hey, there's a possibility new clans will be an option!


As for me, I just wanna see the 1.0 butts back.

Some of the recent Lore book previews, specifically a page on hyurs, suggest there could be other clans elsewhere in Hydaelyn besides Midlander & Highlander. They've never given any reason to believe there couldn't be more than two clans for each (playable) race.

I'd be happy if all hairstyles were available for everyone. That hair Khemo has is my favorite in the game, but it's for miqo only.

I'd like to play Miqo'te, but not really fan of the hairstyle options for Miqo'te.. while other races have plenty of nice ones. :/

i would like more hairstyles that are crossable between races, i get the aura get the spiky look, but those horns turn me off, would be nice to pass a few hairstyles alone between all the races, if that means not getting a new race, i would be down for that as well given the choice

I keep hearing about this. I came with the 3.1 patch. What happened???

I believe this is the thread made way back when about the 'issue'...

I will say this to the end of time.

It won't really happen until they drop ps3 support.

There are so many things they can do for character creator so we can create real, unique (or feel like) characters.

It makes much more sense to update the current playable races instead of adding a completely new race. We can get more in the future, of course, but right now I feel like the game would be served very well by ensuring that more people can design a character to their personal tastes. More base faces would be a great start...as would a proper eyebrow option for Highlander men (as well as some 'younger' and 'classically handsome' looking facial options.

The models for Miqo'te girls (playable boys didn't yet exist) had more pear shaped figure, with bigger butts, hips, and thighs. It wasn't a giant difference, but it was quickly obvious that the new models in 2.0 and beyond's new graphics engine were thinner.

Some players prefer their new body, others want the old one back, thus the request for a slider on par with the chest ones.
