Request: Please update the character creator!

[StriderShinryu]

Absolutely in agreement. While it's true that there's some things that would take a lot of extra work outside of the character creator (like a bigger range of body sizes, sliders, etc.) there are definitely a lot of things on this list that would/should be possible without actually changing the character and gear models and animations in the game as a whole. If we're not going to be getting better, updated models or new races/genders then the least they can do is open up more customization options for the races and gender types we do have.

As a Hrothgar and for all other races I second this so hard. Having to buy a fantasia everytime is so heavy on the wallet... I know this has been a topic from the release of the new races but my hopes lie with the new expansion D:

Maybe in their next FF MMO. The character creator its from 2011 and I don't think they will updated it because that means touch every model/gear/long hair not clipping etc.

SE hasn't cared about avoiding clipping all that much. Look at all the long and/or longish styles we have. The jesus hair males have clips with basically everything, and some of the ponytails we have clip into collars.

I believe the reason why they do no add more options is network bandwidth limitations between the servers. Even if they get more bandwidth in the future I have a feeling that cross datacenter parties will get priority.

100% agreed. If there's something I love in a game, it's character customization. The more, the better !

A few things I can add to the OP:

- More face options across the board. Most of the races only have FOUR... And with the smaller options (mouth, nose,etc) making little to no impact, you end up with the same face as most of the people out there;

- Fix the consistency in Facial Features: For example... makes no sense that Miqo male side-eye tattoo is optional on the Face 01, but permanent on Face 04;

- Face and lip color there's either Light or Dark options, but the former is too faded and the latter is too muddy. Add a third "Vibrant" option with the colors actually standing out;

- The hair color wheel is "deceptively" big. In the end there are not a lot of hue variations (rows) so the color spectrum is a bit limited. For example, there's no way to have a vibrant ginger hairstyle, because such hue is not there;

- Add a special "blind" eye option;


And above all, upscale the resolution of the bloody textures! I honestly can't believe they plan to release the PS5 client with those. Funny enough, none of the footage shown a while ago had close ups of anything. I can even imagine the visual impact that will be to see Hien's blurry outfit, or some haristyle in a close up.

This- Yes thank you

Whatever is done, I just hope that SE continues to keep body proportions in check so that weird body shapes cannot be created. No limitation on proportions would just ruin any character creator for me, regardless of whatever features it may have.

Also, keep having (and even add more) decent default sets/presets so that I can ignore options that I don't want to worry about.

And yes, combat voice preview would be nice.

Other than that, I'm satisfied with the current creator but would also welcome (good) updates to it.

I agree the character creation needs a overhaul. After being here for so long I really do get bored and its around 10 years and not much has changed.

I think the 2b bottoms are great for giving my character some shape back, but also maybe they could add more of the same but maybe with a bit more coverage lol.

I agree all horns should be able to chosen for Aura and Cats need to have fangs if they want too.

All the character faces need cleaning up and having eyelashes and brows like the Viera.

We need facial hair options and more makeup options as they are really lacking

They have done well with this game and they should now be thinking of adding better customisation.
