    Separating horns and faces

    Hello!

    Since ps3 limitations aren't a thing anymore could there be a chance of au ra horns being separated of the face styles? I love the slender backwards horns and the ones that looks like wings, but I can't, for the life of me, make them work with the face they come attached with, and the one face I like a lot, the one with the horns curved forward has horns wich I personally don't like

    At the same time, some other face-locked features could be unlocked for all faces, like some beards or scars

    What are your opinions?

    No, because hardware limitations /server limitations /memory limitations /whatever excuse SE is still using, I'd welcome and enjoy changes like that but I don't really see it being a possibility anytime soon unfortunately.

    This limitation never had anything to do with PS3 despite the community's borderline-psychotic need to scapegoat one platform for all of the game's intrinsic design problems. It's a fundamental issue with them wanting to keep character data to a specific size for network reasons, which means that certain customisations have to be limited in a way which appears bizarre from the outside and dropping specific platforms will never make a difference.

    I agree that it would be nice to lose this restriction in future though. The more diversity in design, the better.

    But unless i'm mistaking what they're saying, they said that the limitation was due to the game using the maximum memory avaliable http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ces%21/page117

    I think in general the character customization needs to be updated with more options. Its' been a long time since 2.0 and literally (with the exception of a new race) nothing has changed at all.

    But yes I would have rather picked my horns than my tail.

    Yeah the char creator in this game is absolute garbage and SE should feel bad.

    I remember a thread like this when Au Ra first came out, here you go and though I'd love to have that option, can't see it happening to be honest :/ i also agree the Character Creator does need a bit of updating, would be nice!

    Edited to add, Dev responded on very last post, there's your dev response
