New "grown up" faces for the new expansion please.

[Araxes]

I know its likely to be an unpopular opinion, but i really wish we had some faces in the 30's or even 40's. Right now we have "barely legal" and 50+ at least for male characters. The only ones looking a bit older have no eyebrows (Hello there Hyur Highlanders.)

Now i exclusively played male characters in practicly every Game but in this Game i find myself wanting to play female Hyur cause they can actually look like late 20's.

Could we maybe have some more grown looking faces for male Miqo'te and male Midlander Hyur? That would be nice.

Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Sorry but no, if you don't like the design of the Characters you should maybe try another game. There are enough other games and mmos with adult appearance and faces already on the market.

If done right (skin color, hair color, right shade of paint) you can paint them on and it looks decent. But we should still have the option to have actual eyebrows by default. I had actually intended to make my character's skin a little darker but I'll address that at a later time.

I don't understand why wanting more options is a bad thing. It's not like they're asking the devs to take what's available away. They just want more options. Why do you care so dang much? It's also kinda funny, considering such options are available for some races. Look at mine for example. lol

It's not something they want so you are being childish and entitled, clearly. /joke

Ah yes, of course. Silly me.

...Can I speak to a manager?

I don't think the OP is asking for something unreasonable. If we have young AND old faces options, what's wrong with at least one more that is in-between? The game really needs more diversity in the character creation options, most if the races have just 4 faces and the lack of sliders in this game makes everyone pretty much identical. It needs more faces and more independent options (e.g. horns separated from heads). The only thing XIV has in abundance is hairstyle options.

I think we're due to an expansion of customization. More face markings and better makeup options to name a few.

Completely! Just separating what we have right now would add a bunch. Plus there are some really weird arbitrary limitations. For example, Miqo male face 04 is forced to always have the eye side tattoo, while the face 01 has the SAME tattoo, but toggleable. It would be cool if we could stack 02 face paint options as well, for example. Also, dunno why the muscle tone slider isn't available for everyone out there.

As for actual additions, stuff like:
- At least 2 new face options for everyone;
- New horns and tails;
- We have Light and Dark pallettes to the Face Paint and Lip Color menus, but they are either too faint, or too dark. Would me nice if we have a third "Vibrant" option;
- Of course this is already beaten to a mulch but all the Viera and Hrothgar customization issues.

Don't forget aura having faces and horns linked

It's because the character creator runs on the same template for everyone but different things go in the same spaces on the templates.

The races that get muscle tone control (Hyur and Roegadyn) are the two without ear- or tail-length sliders.

Everyone only gets two racial tattoo options - except for Wildwood Elezen who have ear cuffs and Au Ra who have the glowing eye "limbal rings" in the same template space. Miqo'te face #4 loses control over the eye markings but adds nose markings. (Likewise the "other features" section always has five choices, so while both Miqo'te clans generally have the same customisation features, Keepers lose one option to be replaced with a clan-specific forehead gem.)

For what it's worth, I read the eye markings as natural skin markings that must develop as the person ages, since it happens across all cultures and (from memory) it's only optional for the youngest-looking face, plus the "tattoos" look more like face paint to me - so could read it either as the character maybe not being old enough to have the markings yet, and possibly painting them on instead to look older.

I also think the eye markings look better in that darkened-skintone colour than in a stand-out colour, so I'm glad of it being built into face #4 as I use that with a brown-skinned character and (on experimenting to see if I could get the cheek stripe tattoos to the same colour) I could not get anything close to that colour in the palette. I made them contrast instead, but I wouldn't have wanted that on the eyes.
