Thread: Customization options for races come 2.0

Given how much SE has been working and there quality, You can count on keeping the uniquness, and The new models are most likely going to be really well done. I believe they are implementing a Barber/Re Customize option too, Think I saw it in the plans

I hope it has as much customization as aion or perfect world. /crossfingers

Mashing the two up would make no sense.

Lets hope 2.0 really explores the races and tribes in the lore. Currently, our race and tribe selection is merely cosmetic.

It would be nice to see towns populated by just SotS who have a rivalry with KotM or something like that.

Vana'diel did this pretty well with the main cities.

I don't understand why Moon chest size is larger than Sun chest size. Equal opportunities for the Sun Seekers!

...

But not for the lalafell, sorry Hirv

If the storyline for Miqo'te is similar to the one's from xi they could say the male cats had their fangs removed due to that fact that they were primarily kept in the home village for breeding stock. they could be like if you don't hunt you don't need teeth. that could give rise to a more aggressive male cat with higher str bonuses.

Moon cat's could just have longer, more pronounced fangs than the sun as well

if you did that there would be some places race/clan could not shop or if they could prices would be inflated. perhaps a class with a negotiation skill that would allow you to haggle shopkeepers for the wares

I think I derped on my OP.

What I think I meant to say is let the clans share characteristics, but keep their unique "cosmetics." In the case of Miqo'te, the eyes can stay restrictive to their clan, but each can have a short tail, long tail, fangs or not, etc etc.

I can understand. I wanted to be male Mithra/Miqo'te for a long time and was sorely disappointed that they weren't implemented in FFXIV at the start.

That being said, as we get closer to 2.0, I keep getting a nasty knot in my chest every time I think about changing race. My character has grown on me and sometimes I get sad thinking about his "rebirth" as someone else. But then again, time will only tell and maybe that'll change. So far, I really liked the first model of male Miqo'te that was posted a while back. We'll see.
