Character creation

[Asmrran]

I'm curious to know if there has been any mention of updates on the character creator?

The 4 faces per race (minus Hyur), limited options and a lack of bodily diversity within a race has bummed me out for a long time. While its by far not the worst character creator, it is starting to feel stale, especially considering the lack of options added in Stormblood.

Personally i'd love to see Elezen get a rework, adding more body types/sliders and a wider range of colours for hair/skin/eyes and so on. But regardless, any word of improvement would be nice.

Same here, but it doesn't seem like they'd do it. They got bigger issues to deal with in other areas of the game. But yeah, I also can't stand the weird awkward poses and animations copied and pasted over from FFXI. Most of them are like, "Really? Who stands around like this? Do the animators actually study body movements, or are they lazy and just using default code from their engine?" All the "come at me, bro" "I hate moving my arms" body language is a turn-off.

I don't think they have but if they did I bet the answer is no and the reason would be "server stress" or whatever. They said the same thing for Au Ra horns (I think).

Also Elezen should be left alone, instead give them body type options to look less long.

I still hope they do it for the next expansion instead of a new race but the devs being capable of doing both is even better.

Elezen women legit only have two face types right now, with the other two being make up versions of the former. They /definitely/ need at least some variety.

When the OP meant "rework", I assumed they meant the body model they have now which is notorious for looking long and having that long neck. I said to leave it alone because some people actually like that about Elezen.

But of course, they are welcome to have a LOT more options, especially faces. All of the races do, really.
It's been 5 years since they updated the character creation and it I think they should do more things with it now.

At the bare minimum, they should unlock all of the facial features that are currently linked to specific faces for each race.

Apologies if my post came off as harsh, that was not my intent. I do agree with you however on the rest.

No, no, you're fine! My wording was just off and I understand why you mentioned it.

But yes, I also agree with you and I think Elezen (and Roegadyn) need more options the most.

Oh yeah, when I said Rework I meant to completely change the gangly look of Elezen. But honestly body types could fix that problem, giving every race a few options (Average, Thin, Overweight, Muscular) kind of deal, or just giving more sliders on sections of the body to maybe balance out the weirder parts on Elezen lol

Uhm. No. Stop yourself.

More facial options sounds good though.
