Petition To Expand Character Creator

[Soge01]

Yes, please. Need more than a single new hairstyle added every few months.

I put a like on your message OP but we ask that since now....what?...4 years? .... and each time it's always the same excuse/answer "sorry, memory/data server trouble blablabla"

Anyway ya we need so much more options and real choices, and none option should be locked by a specific face.

Most (read: all) of the games I know of that made major texture/character upgrades didn't do so until a good 8 or so years into the life of the game. I'd be flabbergasted if any dev team put the resources into doing it just 4-5 years in.

If we count 1.0 the game is 8 years old and 5 years old if we start from 2.0.

The question is, ff14 will live 3 years more if it continues in this way? I'm not sure.

It's not about how a game looks as it is about how it is to play.

FFXI is still going strong and look at those graphics. Even with poor graphics and all its flaws, XI is still an amazing game. And as someone who still plays it I can tell you there are still plenty of ppl not only playing it, but beginning it for the first time. There are well over 2k ppl on my server alone even during the lowest pop times.

I think the only thing XIV needs to be concerned about is its lack of veteran retention and not its graphics. They need to be more innovative with content and keep older content relevant if this game is to survive.

I mean we could count 1.0, but then you'd have to acknowledge that the game has already gone through its major rework, albeit not one involving texture/character creation upgrades.

At which point the clock one might conceivably measure by when determining when this game would likely see a major upgrade to things like character models and such (which may take more work behind the scenes than we realize, hard to tell with us not being on the dev team) would realistically be reset...and we're back to my original point. This game as is happens to be just over 5 years old, and most MMOs that have done major character model upgrades took 8+ years (HD textures, where those have appeared, have come faster, but that is a different beast than reworking character models and changing character creation to a more significant degree).

In fact, the two I'm most familiar with - LOTRO and WoW, took about 10 years before they each managed to do it.

Of course, that's if they even decide they want to make more than minor changes over time.

As for living 3 years more if it continues this way? At no point has the lack of a character model rework ever doomed an MMO, so if that's what you're worried about you can rest easy.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see improvements made to character options, but I'm also being realistic about the chances of a major rework.

I just want a "Reverse" option for hairs. Can it really be that hard to flip hair models on the y-axis?

[Dreamsoap]

Horns separate from face selection for Aura is all I want for Christmas.

[Aeducan]

Personally, here are top 4 things I'd like regarding character creation:
1. Option to remove face marks on male miqo'te
2. Option to add eyebrows for male highlander
3. Option to pick & choose face/horn style for au ra
4. Option to add body hair (personally I find it funny that rugged roe or highlander are smooth as silk, but maybe that's just me)

I think it goes without saying that more face/hairstyle/facial feature options would be appreciated, but until we can tie the latter 2 to glamour set, I'm content with what we have right now.

I Will love more skin and hair color tones, including puré White and black for the skin to all races.
