Request: Update/ Revamp Character creator

[Reap00]

I wouldn't say things are fine the way it is, this game has an ancient character creator compared to almost every other MMO out there. This is especially egregious for a pay-to-play MMO.

But the reality is that ARR was built on top of 1.0's terrible coding and Yoshi-P said that there are no plans for any sort of overhaul and our limited options are the result of how the game loads characters into the world. If the amount of options increased, then they would need to turn down the amount of players you can see on the screen. If you notice, the races that get muscle sliders are also the ones that have no ear or tail sliders. The devs seem to only have a set amount of values to work with per race and what we see is what we've got.

You can't blame PS4 either, since right now the game is being held back by minimum PC requirements. If they were to do another update like they did for Stormblood and remove PS4 support, all the PS4 players who didn't upgrade and those who play on potato PCs won't be able to play (and more importantly to SE) pay their monthly subs.

One thing I do wish they would do that I believe could be within the confines of what is possible, is to fix the elezen race's proportions. Make the heads normal size compared to their bodies, slim the shoulders down a bit. Viera are very similar to elezen, but with better proportions and it seems like elezen have all but disappeared from the playerbase since.

Hopefully the next FF MMO will be helmed by Yoshi-P and SE will allow him to do everything he wants to and we'll have an updated engine, no more spaghetti code, and a more robust CC. But I don't see anything happening until then. Considering how long people have been asking for Derplander's beard and nothing coming from it, it shows doesn't look like they have any intention of doing anything. And that is something that is already coded into the game.



I take personal offense to this. You can take my princess run from my cold, dead hands.

Stop spreading this nonsense. ARR was rewritten using assets from 1.0. IT WAS REWRITTEN! THE CODE WAS NOT THE SAME! The character creator is absolutely fine. The only mmo this game competes with doesn't come close in this category or any other for that matter.
