revisit character customization y/n?

[Rabbtit]

For a race, since I am a big fan of all things BUNNIES, I would love to play Viera. I know we already have miqo'te and they're our animal people, so not much difference...but still ; w ; I would love it just bc bunnies...

also, I could finally let go of Tera since the only thing that kept me on there so long was my bunny elins...;;;;

The thing is... if we cannot get our body shapes. Can we at least revive any improve to the actual faces? More faces? More eyebrows and more of that we ALREADY have?

I'm waiting for the Vieras too. I came here to play as one, cus I only played FFXII aside of this one.

But I would love to see FIRST and improve in our actual races before Vieras come. If they arrive before that we can recive an improve, we will never see any improve till the game die.

I think we should compile a laundry list of things that should be race-unique and things that should be across the board. In regards to a character customization, we don't need to compare them to other MMOs. They have one in FFXV's comrades DLC and its pretty decent. But, most importantly: Its in-house tech and we know FFXIV uses a fork of the Luminous Engine that was used in FFXV, so there is a degree of assumption that it can be done, with hurdles, but has less of a deflection point imo.

I love the Miqote race but I hate pretty much all the hairstyles available to them. I love the Aura but I hate that I can't change the horns independently from the face like I can with the tail. I hate that things like eyes, lips, nose are all tied to only face and also can't be changed independently. I jump between looks a lot because I generally don't like certain aspects that come with it just because there's no option to change them. >:T

I'd mostly like to see options separated from each other better. Don't tie our options for beards, scars and similar facial features, or Au Ra horns to what face we select.

E.g. In the Highlander case, there is a selection already for beards, but each face has three completely different beard styles available (along with a no beard option in each case). Let us combine any of the 12 beard styles we like with any of the faces. (This wasn't even obvious when creating a character, since we get to the face selection first, then when we get to the beard selection it looks like a straightforward four choices. I wouldn't have even realized there were other beards available if I hadn't been going back and forth, from faces to beards and back to faces again. I'm pretty sure the same goes for scars, etc, on all races.)

It would be nice, sadly the servers are made of melted potatoes, pretty sure they can't handle more than what they already are dealing with.

To be fair, tying certain facial features like beards and shit to different faces and races is so obnoxiously boneheaded, what is even the point? It doesn't add anything, it just pisses everyone off.

I want them to fix up the character creator, but I really wouldn't count on it.

[DamianFatale]

it cost time and time is money. and the money from ff14 goes straight to other se projects. i will eat a raw lala if this is not the case.

This is just a rumor. Square Enix doesn’t disclose this kind of information to us.

More options would be a welcome addition. Though i don't see it happening until we get a revamp on the scale of 1.0 to 2.0 and that i feel wont come around again (i want to be wrong here, maybe 6.0 or 7.0?).

Lastly many think more sliders are the answer though i have played many mmorpg's and the things i have seen have left me haunted, to say the least questioning humanity as a whole...







Sliders are fine but the scale needs to stay within reason, people can't be trusted with to much power.

[Fredco191]

^ That last one doesn’t look too bad.. But yes. Some of us can’t be trusted with that much power.

I would just be happy to have more face models and facial part pieces to play with. No reason to overhaul the whole system when all it needs is more options.
