Character Creation Survey

[Mieli]

So whilst playing with character creator the other day (guess who got fantasia for xmas) I found myself wondering which faces were the most and least popular for each of the races. The internet being the internet I assumed this would be exactly the kind of thing someone would have collected previously, but I couldn't find it anywhere, which means I guess I'm kinda duty bound to do it myself.

So I've created two surveys, one for male characters and one for female characters (to make data collection a bit easier). If folks could fill them out I'd really appreciate it, and if I get enough results to be a reasonable data set I'll, dunno, put some results/graphs up or something?

Feel free to argue your preferences in the comments XD

So, I have two characters. Both are male Keepers of the Moon (miqo'te). My main uses face #4, and my alt uses face #2.

When I create characters, I pretty much base them off my RPG characters. My alt was supposed to be a male viera when they announced viera was a thing (but before they announced viera would be female-only), and I had planned to just Fantasia him when viera came out. If male viera ever became a thing, I'd still go for the more masculine/older face for that particular character.

For my main, he's younger but still an adult. So, I went with #4 because facially, it looked most like him with some jaw/nose/eyebrows/etc. adjustments.

Interesting survey!

I really wish they had these statistics. FFXI used to have that info available but I suppose it's more difficult to tally when players can just fantasia to change it anytime. It'd still be interesting to see a general average though.

I don't remember having ever seen a female Elezen player. I don't remember seeing female Roe either, but they do look like female Hyur so IDK.

They really don't though? Different body shapes, heights, faces, postures, and even skin tones.


That said I'm not too surprised by these numbers. There likely would be more female elezen if they weren't jipped in terms of what facial features we have offered. Two faces with the other two basically being make-up wearing variants isn't enough to encourage variety. Couple that with the 'giraffe' neck and I can see why the general population isn't too fond of them. I do miss mine though a good deal... :<

I responded for both my characters. I don't really have an argument for the face preferences I picked lol. I just liked them the best. Good luck on compiling your information!

Edit: My Seeker is face #2, and my Veena is face #1 if anyone is curious.

I tried playing elezen but it felt really weird to be a burly job like MNK or WAR. They look frail.

I had to go to the character creation to see what face I have as I don’t remember what number he was.

The female replies have already doubled the male replies. That’s interesting as I thought the genders was almost 50/50.

I thought any time we have taken data from active players, we got something either 2:1 or 3:2 depending on what period of time it is being sampled.
