Honestly I am kind of on the fence about this.
On the one hand, I would welcome more customization options, sliders even. On the other hand, I agree that having limited options and no sliders is the only way to enforce consistent aesthetics in-game.
In other games, we've all seen players who intentionally make an ugly character. FFXIV doesn't really need that. They put in a lot of effort to ensure the consistency and overall aesthetic quality of the game world, and the last thing we want would be a 132cm Miqo'te with 95/55/85cm proportions running around.
So I'm all for more face outlines, more eybrows, proper hairstyles, etc, but not sliders for things like eye distance and cheek height etc.
