More Character Customization Options ((In-game))

[Hestzhyen]

I just personally feel slightly teased for the past few years in Eorzea. It's as if they handed us a pretty decent character creation that seemed to have so much promise for future content and yet, we've just been at a stand still with no improvements to it. It's like "Here you guys, a character creation options so you can be unique in Eorzea, BUT you still have to look similar to everyone else and fit "The Look" we want you to have so you can't fulfill your desires completely" lol which let's be honest, as humans we are never satisfied, so that's not what I'm saying. I just know and have a strong feeling in my heart that the character creation has SO much potential and is ready for an awesome update!! <3 <3

XIV as we know it was built on the bones of 1.0, a system that was created with a different goal than the one we've been playing since 2.0. That's why there are a lot of seemingly arbitrary restrictions and limitations. XIV's character creation works well enough for its indented purpose - creating a distinct player avatar- and will likely not be changed or updated in a significant way this late into the game's lifetime. It probably frustrates the devs that they can't give players what we want in they way we want it most -happy customers stick around longer and pay more after all- but the code limitations are very real. We're basically still paying for 1.0's poor design vision plus the mad scramble to salvage it and will be for years to come, regardless of how successful the game is. It's unfortunate since I'd love to have more face, height, and build options for my character too. But I have zero expectations that I'll ever get to customize every detail I want in this game.
