EU Live Letter

[Shougun]

Props to the translators, I can see small inconsequential moments of being flustered but they always push on and get their job done well - which is admirable. Making a mistake in my own language on a big stage, I'm pretty sure I'd fly right past red into some danger zone purple lol.

And congrats to the team for the awards

Dying for more info on the expansion though.. I'm with withdrawal-ing (*rocks manically in chair*), really hoping for more interviews in the near future lol.

I'm starting to remember why I don't watch question live letters... Always full of glamour questions.

Watching it now, they just confirmed there are no plans currently to expand the creator creation options.

What a complete waste. I get that we don't have any new races this time because of the Au ra. The Au ra were released early in order to explore their backstory later on, and it makes sense. They helped create interest in the eastern lands.. I just don't get why they aren't going to at least improve our characters. It's incredibly disappointing that we're going to probably be living with what we already have until we get close to 2019. I wouldn't be surprised if people unsubscribed.

It's common to see a Doppelganger of your Character Ingame, even if we have huge Number of Colors to choose for.

... and mostly if that happens either that Doppelganger is surprised or is going to get mad/angry about it...

Seemed lacklustre compared to other live letters.

The production cost for something like that, which effects body proportions etc alone would likely be pretty huge as they would have to adjust armor to suit - not just new armor but all existing armor as well.

On top of this they would be obliged (mostly by the community of complainers) to give everyone a free fantasia, which is in effect a free month's subscription to the entire playerbase. A fantasia costs $10, and that $10 could be revenue from the mog station that they would have recieved from all of the players that are toying with the idea of doing a reroll.

I can understand why they are hesitant to add things like this.

If they ignored the fantasia handouts and just said "well we will do it but if you want to change your character you have to buy a fantasia", I could understand the request being reasonable - especially if it's for things such as facial sliders (cheek bones, chin, eye depth etc). However I also imagine the resources required to adjust stuff like this would be a lot more difficult since faces are currently set in a "ABCD" system.

Changing things such as adding more styles of facial marks for Miqo, or detaching horns from facial structures on Au Ra I can understand, however sliders are a completely different ball game I would imagine.

They are doing major server upgrades in order to add onto various content. I don't see why they can't just overhaul the character creation system too.

[Beskar]

Hmm not much new information was to be said but that's how it always goes with these live letters with Q and A. Just waiting to hear more of the LALALALALALA not listening to some reasons why this isn't possible.. Oh...

I also like how Yoshi is actually holding the community to account once again regarding hard content. If you want harder content they will give it to you but do not complain if you can't do it, because the community asked for it.

[ZhaneX]

What a complete waste.

I really don't get this mentality. I get being a bit disappointed, but calling the lack of minor cosmetic additions "A Complete Waste", in the face of the generally massive content additions Stormblood looks to be bringing to the table, seems ridiculous at best.

I still have my free fantasia(s), thanks SE~ lol. Every now and then I think about turning into an ankle biter though ... :3

I figure Yoshida was joking but uh.. he said if we're okay with stretched textures we could get a butt slider haha. So, there's peoples first customization they can petition for big butts. What a patch note announcement that'd be. Just to make everyone say it multiple times I want the One Eye & Yoshida to do a live stream demonstrating it's function, and undoubtedly show how it does nothing on lalafels lol.
