FFXIV already has better character customization than Warcraft

DC Universe Online

and while at DC Universe Online: in that game, as soon as an item becomes bound to you, it's "glamour" look is now part of your character and you can at any time just change that gear piece to that look. Best Glamour System, period.

That's less about the character and more about the itemization. You can't change how ugly those faces are, your heights are fixed, facial hair is fixed to hairstyle (why male characters have like 10 times more options than female characters only having less than a dozen) and sizes are restricted to "sickly", "guido-jacked" and "swole AF". That being said, I do agree with you on the gear customization since it's like the transmog catalog in WoW but useable regardless of location.

I'm actually fairly content with the character creator in XIV. Sure, we could open up more hairstyles that are currently race-locked, but mainly because I know what I prefer to play and don't really stray too much from it.

This depends were you come from. Wearing a helm or mask, a lot of people wont care what their face look like, but everyone cares how their characters clothes look out of the gate, without itemization.

I agree that DCUO in particular has a different set of issues with faces, though. I still like that how their body actually looks dressed up is considered part of their character customization, and not necessary itemization (although they still lock some looks behind acquiring new gear.)

Overall, though, I'm happy with this game's face/body editing. I don't expect much drastic changes to ever be introduced to an MMO, but I also acknowledge there are lots better things out there.
