Au ra horn customization

[Theodric]

They already addressed this years ago. They're aware this is requested by players, but can't do it due to "limitations"

It's all the more reason for them to completely rebuild the character creation system from the ground up. The longer they leave it, the worse the situation will be - especially when the game places such a heavy emphasis upon character customisation.

That will be for the next FF mmo.

Not sure a total rebuild is possible, as alot of npc also uses the system.....

Presumably they'd have to carry everything over somehow, but I'm sure they could find a way to do it without breaking things.

I always think this to myself about many parts of this game. The longer they wait to fix something the more difficult it'll become down the road. This game needs to better prioritize fixing existing issues instead of trying to add the next shiny gimmick like Diadam and Eureka. :/

Fix what? There is no issue with character creation, it just has a lack of options. They don't need an overhaul no matter how many people would want it. They do not consider viera or hrothgar as broken either if those would be brought up, those were "design decisions". Having horns locked to face isn't an issue, it's just a lack of options. The tail would be the equivalent to ears, and be glad it is, if horns were the equivalent to viera ears, then it's likely au ra would also have no headgear as well. They are slow in anything they do and people actually think they would do an overhaul, and if a character creation overhaul would stifle development of entire questlines and modes like Eureka then it probably isn't worth it, and that is their thinking.

Grow to love the fins on the one face that doesn't look too weird. Fins is love, fins is life.

(That being said, horn customisation would be nice. I would also like to pick a different spot on the horns to put earrings, as the placement just has them hidden most of the time)

I'm not keen on the face that goes with the fin-horns, personally - but I do agree with the general concept. Pick the character for the aspects you do like, and you might get used to the ones that you don't.

Earring placement on Au Ra is definitely odd, but I think it's because it would be linked to the basic character model and not the individual face/horns you apply to it - so the earrings have to sit somewhere that 'exists' on all four very-differently-shaped horn models, and the base is the easiest place to put them. (I just use Emperor's New Earrings for my character anyway - it doesn't really make sense for them to be wearing designed-for-human earrings, and the character-creator-applied horn decorations look better.)

Hope, as major npc also uses the system but with unique parts like yugiri hair and eyes

It's not just "major NPCs" - all NPCs except a few special models use the character creator settings, and would be affected by any changes to it. But yes, they can do a lot with custom models that the players don't have access to.

Wasn't it stated that the lack of options were directly tied to limitations and/or having too many options would end up harming the servers? So it is a lack of option but because of technical reason that they should...eventually "fix".

That post was over 4 years ago. I'm sure they are working hard to "fix" it.

That's why I shouldn't gloss over posts.

I mean yeah we know they aren't working to "fix" it...that's what people are asking for.
