Hyur Midlander female faces need... help.

[True-to-Caesar]

They actually do have differences. The faces effect the nose, eyes, and mouths slightly, for each race

On some, it effects facial features (or w/e that set of options is called towards the bottom)

Noticeable on midlander between faces 1 and 5 for instance.

I was mostly thinking of the female miq’ote faces, they have 3 if memory serves me right and honestly barely any difference with 2 just being the same but with or without the cheeks tattoos.

For midlanders, indeed the difference is slightly there but honestly it’s very minor changes I can barely tell. Even for my retainer I chose Highlander because you can play more with the options. But I think I’ll just make her a roegadyn too. It’s funny to see my character who’s already tall, look up for big mommas roe.

Roegadyn is the best race for female characters, no contest. Punny cats, lizards and weak humans stand no chance against such greatness.

On a serious note, overall I think every race should be given a few more face options and customization. Full beards especially for males, because I know some miq’ote females want the full furry experience.

The face of these Hyur are "she hulk" category for me, but there are fans for everything.

That's why: Au'ra for life!

Mrs Manderville is quite a beauty. One of the very few.

Why she isn't anymore near the cactpot doing /sweat?

You all play midlander when the highlanders have beautiful faces and a muscle tone option?

What does someones face have to do with them being strong?

It's always so weird to me how people view this today because it doesn't line up with reality and history at all.
Back in the day being beautiful used to equate to being perceived as strong, I'd probably argue that this is the case in Asian media too still.
Great warriors and heroes were very rarely '' average '' or ugly they were beautiful.

The truth is ofc that your facial structure has literally nothing at all whatsoever to do with any of it and it's an entirely superficial way of looking at it based in stereotypes.

Au Ra's don't have nostrils, they have a dead stare & look like they have Papier-mâché plastered on to imitate scales
2 Female Miqo'te Keeper of the moon faces look unrendered & you can see the pixels on their face stripes
Elezen look like unpainted mannequins that were forgotten about
Male Highlanders have no eyebrows
Many of the hairstyles are flat, boring or short & spikey anime protagonist
Face paint/ make-up only allows you to choose 1 option
We can only pick gloss for lipstick & the gloss dulls the colour of the lips often & looks disgustingly metallic in certain lighting

There are options in character creator, but they're not great & I wonder if Yoshi-P knows how much people want character creator to be updated.
Everyone just ends up looking the same to the point you can grab a handful of the same gender/ race in XIV & there'd be nothing unique between them.

All in all, every race needs a big touch up- the character creator in FFXIV is outdated.

Why does it feel like it's always the Miqo'te that post on every single forum saying "WHAT ABOUT ALLLLLL RACES, MINE EXIST TOOO" - some races need a touch up more than others, why dont we just start with one race at a time considering some need the rework more than others instead of demanding everyone gets the same treatment.

Has anyone here ever played Aion? I miss the Aion character creator



You could do some amaaaaaazing stuffs with it! If something like this were only possible I would be most happy.

I played Aion. If it's the game with the creation tools I'm thinking of, I recall people creating some truly freakish characters with disproportionately long legs and truly bizaar faces. Sometimes a lot of customization isn't a good thing.

I was about to write up a post on this. There needs to be some limitations (curation) in a character creator, otherwise this is inevitable.
