Request: Update/ Revamp Character creator

[HeyMcFly]

The goal of this thread is to promote a more updated & Diverse character creator. More options at the players disposal & less exclusivity or lack of options.

I've had these discussions before only to be given the "can't because of limitations" & with the current release of PS5 & since there won't be any more races added, we might start seeing progress towards bettering the current character creator as it stands.

Please feel free to give Positive feedback & suggestions!

• A neutral background that provides the best lighting when creating our character
  
  Updated Femroe, Female midlander & Elezen jog animations, it's currently very stiff & needs revision or just allow the races to pick their run style
  
  More Viera & Hrothgar hairstyles - The ability to pick hair/face independently for Hrothgars without using a fantasia
  
  Add beards & stubble to all male races
  
  Thicker/ more visible eyebrow options for all races & genders
  
  Enhanced skin textures & shading/ contouring
  
  More scar selections: burns, scratches, stab wounds, bullet wounds
  
  Diverse tattoos: (No more thick 90's tribal please it's terrible on anything) Arcane tattoo's, filligree tattoo's, Geometric tattoo's, animal tattoo's, Machine Tattoo's, Grand Company oriented Tattoo's, Diverse tribal tattoo's, & tattoo scarification
  
  Face sliders & More face options
  
  Voice combat preview
  
  Muscle slider for all races
  
  A larger colour wheel for armor dyes & hair/ eyes/ make-up
  
  More Lipstick options: Matte, ombre, top lip/ bottom lip/ outline
  
  Fangs for Au Ra & Seeker of the sun
  
  Optional Miqo'te face marks
  
  Half-Elezen ear options
  
  Au Ra Horns Seperate from their faces or just add more horns/ faces
  
  Au Ra horn & scale colour gradients (hints of blue/ red)
  
  "Blind" eye options/ 1 eye options like Auron from FF-X
  
  Racial/ethnic Diverse Hairstyles: braids, curls, afro's, dreads, Curly Hair
  The current hair options we have are limited or are a close replica of existing hairstyles released to us & there isn't much diversity

A HUGE LIST OF Less exclusive NPC hairstyles requested for our WoL such as:

• Hilda's Ponytail hairstyle
  2B's Hairstyle
  Lyse's Hairstyle
  Gaia's Hairstyle
  Emet-Selchs hairstyle (where the white streak is dyeable)
  Hien's Ponytail Hairstyle
  Ardashir's Ponytail Hairstyle
  Estinien's hairstyle
  Gaius' Hairstyle
  
  Other hairstyle ideas inspired from other Final Fantasy Games our WoL could have:
  Tifa's hairstyle
  Zack Fair's hairstyle
  Vincent hairstyle
  Irvine's hairstyle
  Quistis' Hairstyle
  Beatrix hairstyle (eye patch optional)
  Celes & Terra's hairstyles
  Lulu's hairstyle
  Auron's hairstyle

Other idea's are the addition of "clans" added that have been mentioned- which wouldn't require much effort as they are linked to already existing races but only need updates.
Such as Garlean builds for Elezen, different scale patterns & face shapes for Au Ra.

If I could just get some traditional Norse plait and braided hairstyles along with some shorter options, I'd be happy. Other than that, though, a wish list of wants would be:

1. More beard options (Bigger beards, please!)

2. Update and detailed body textures alongside an option to have body hair. (Could simply be a toggle or a slider if they're feeling particularly ambitious.)

3. More facial options to look unique. 4 faces per race with only 2 decent ones isn't great. Even then, you can't really change them much.

4. General body sliders.

5. Expanded tattoo options, including body tattoos that, like mentioned above, aren't tribal but have a wide array of influences and cultures.

I'm sure there's more, but that's at least the first five I would want.

Additional scale patterns for Raen and Xaela!

[NekoHina]

Ryne and Yotsuyu’s hair as well.

More hair styles for everyone, especially something other than short unisex stuff.

Dual color ring eyes like Aura for everyone.

I would like to see players allowed to use 'NPC-exclusive faces' for already implemented races such as; Yda's, Asahi/Moren's, Yotsuyu's, Hilda's, Fordola's, Merylwb's, Raubahn's, Aymeric's, Lucia's, etc..

There's really no reason not to- plenty of fairly important NPCs can be entirely recreated to a T as it is (Papalymo, Tataru, Haurchefant, Teledji, Miounne, Brendt, Brennan, Bremondt, all of the Heaven's Ward, Edda, etc), while others can be mostly recreated apart from exclusive facepaints or eyes (Y'shtola, Thancred, Minfilia, Nanamo, Grynewaht, etc).

Variety amongst players is already pretty limited, I'd rather see a few more people that look slightly like an NPC that likely isn't even relevant anymore than more exact clones of other players.

Thank you for your input!

I'd love a larger cultural variety of tattoo's as well & larger beards on male characters MMMMMMmmm

I couldn't agree with you more as far as the lack of face variety. It's numbing to see someone look exactly like you because the faces are so limited

I had actually listed their hairs but removed them because the hair list was longer than the other requests list- it wasn't for a lack of not liking the hair, it was to make this thread not seem like it was a secret hairstyle request thread *shifty eyes*

but I agree

[Oraros]

Tall female Au Ra!

[DynnDiablos]

I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of these when we get the eventual PS5 Upgrade. I am hoping it won't just be resolution/framerate bump.
