FFXIV already has better character customization than Warcraft

[Skivvy]

A game I love, Archeage - far better options.

WITH THAT SAID, I don't overly mind the XIV creator in XIV. I would like to see facial options unlocked within an entire race (e.g. Eyes/mouth/nose will no longer be locked to faces 1, 2, 3 4, etc - you can mix and match with all options within the race). That alone would make me quite happy and could really broaden the types of characters we see in game, all while still keeping perfectly normal appearances.

To give an idea, these were some really quick mock-ups I made a while back in MSpaint (dem skillz!):




These may not be the best examples, but they are pulling various facial features from all the faces in the race.

While I do enjoy really expansive character creators, it can also be a bit overwhelming to me as you have SO many options for what you can do.....and I want far too many! lol

I don't think they can just do that, because (I assume) the faces fit together like jigsaw puzzles, and each face element would be designed to slot into that particular face shape.

If you wanted them all to be interchangeable, I think the faces themselves would have to be a lot more uniform in their shape and proportions.


It would also be about the amount of data involved. Right now it only needs to store your choice out of 6 options. If you could access every element, that would be 24 options, times however many face settings there are.
