Character Creation Failure

[DreamAngel-Ren]

I mean, I'm pretty happy with my characters appearance. Haven't had the urge to fantasia since i settled on this. Which is a big change, since its been 8 months now. New hairstyles are nice, but I'm happy where I'm at.

I am on the same boat too. I haven't changed Ren's appearance since I first started playing XIV (it's been 3 years).

As for the long hair crisis, it's gonna be a while for them to add more until they fix the clipping part. I am one of the few who don't approve the clipping which is why I hardly ever wear the long hairstyles that are currently available because of it (also because most of them don't look so great, I only like the one from PotD).

Its getting kinda boring seeing everyone that looks so similar because we are so limited in face options and such.

Are we?

Take female Hyur Midlander - 5 face shapes, 4 jaws, 5 eyes, 5 noses, 5 eyebrows, 4 mouth options. The first option for each of those would be one face, change any of them to the second option while not changing anything else is a different face (not strikingly different, but still different and it's not uncommon for MMOs that don't use a slider to use similar faces with just a couple details altered to make difference options). Those combinations start to add up after a while (just doing each base face with one of the four different mouth options leads to twenty variations, and there are MMOs out there where twenty is the total number of options full stop).

I'm not saying we couldn't use a number of improvements (more vibrant hair colors, better facial hair options, more ear options, letting Au Ra choose which horn style they want to go with their chosen face, etc) but it's not like we're stuck with just 5 faces.

Raiding isn't a big part of the game if you look at the completion rates, yet it gets attention every expansion and every other patch. I'd bet that there are at least as many interested in more character options and glamour as there are raiding. By your logic SE should stop working on raids. What do you think?

What do you mean, "by your logic"? you mentioned raiding, not me. I didn't even say anything about what gets more attention, and what doesn't, or who completes what, or anything lol.

All I said is that its not a big deal, cause it isn't. not to me anyway. This game has never been advertised as a dress up game, and I certainly don't play it for that reason.

And if I had to choose which would get more attention, it would be raiding. I actually like playing the game, and more options to play the game is always more appealing for me.

Honestly at this point of playing J'talhdi, I identify her as the main character of the story so much it would feel off to change her. Plus I like her. I used a fantasia once when I though about tweaking her appearance but ended up changing almost nothing.

People have been screaming for more inventory space for ages and so that has been something they have invested in heavily this expansion. People have wanted more housing available so they are adding an additional 33% to the current housing amount. People really wanted RDM and SAM and they have made both classes. They are doing cross realm party features that people have asked for.

For two of those three things, they have apparently ignored what the community has actually asked for. 40 additional inventory spaces does NOT actually solve the problems of inventory in this game. A glamour log, a tackle box, all those random currencies from raids or beast tribes going into the currency tab - those are the serious suggestions that the community has pushed for years. Likewise with housing, there has been clear consensus here that just adding wards is never going to fix the housing problem. For one, there will simply never be enough houses for everyone with a limited supply. For another, the problem is more than just the supply. The way housing is currently designed means that we are extremely limited in decor count and customization ability.

We say SE doesn't pay attention because they clearly aren't.

more character custominations can come, but not during the character creation (except hairstyles)

This is so not even what people have been complaining about when it comes to character creation... Yet another example of SE not actually listening.

The only thing I want out of CC and the only that disappoints me is the lack of added beards. A beard is the only thing I would change on my character, a character that's from Balmung and never used a fantasia or name change on since ARR beta.

I have just really always wanted a better Regis-beard then the stubble my guy has now. But I still hold out hope we may get a beard if and when we do a ffxv crossover.

For both males and females.

Eh. I expected it.

I don't mind two hairstyles. We had that in Heavensward too. I care more about being a glorious Red Mage at long last. They never promised an overhaul of character creation either so the fact it didn't happen is fine with me.

The only thing I change on my character is her hairstyle and glamour as of way to show that time has somewhat passed since her last adventure lol. My sister -when she to used play- would urge me to change my character's race and I'm like, "After taking over 100 screenshots of her plus recorded multiple favorite scenes from the game...I don't think so." It would ruin my story lore XDD

Literally the only character creation option I want is horn customization. I don't even want more horns, I just want access to the other 3 horn styles that are already in the game.
