Request: Please update the character creator!

[CidHeiral]

(And people have been asking for body sliders for ages as well.)

I hope they never implement that. Keep those IMVU body horror abominations in their mod containment zone.

While I don't agree with the tone, and wouldn't mind a bit of a bum on my bunny, I agree that I don't want body sliders.

In ESO, if you only play a Caucasian Breton without editing at all the face, I can see how all of the faces are the same- it applies when the playerbase goes with default lol
there are sliders- you can adjust body type to a degree- there's also make-up that has depth & more than just 1 wearable option that FFXIV has (you can only choose 1 option at a time, what the heck???) there is also body paint; There are jewelry options & Yes, Face sliders - so, it's not super revolutionary; it is however a step up from FFXIV character creator

There's no reason to defend FFXIV character creation since this thread is meant to shed light on it's issues

YES. I have played ESO and its much better character customization than ffxiv, i would be happy if they went that direction. We are not asking for. Anything crazy, Even ESO is very simple and limited too but still miles better than ffxiv in that they have sliders and body options. Also there is tons of actual makeup and facepaint options. (Have to buy it most of the time, but still.)

gonna throw in these suggestions.

body scars, more face scar options (especially large scars like burn scars, acid scars, etc), and for my fellow trans masc individuals and enbies: Top surgery scars. Our characters are going to battle and being hit with some nasty stuff (like Fire IV)- I think more scars would make sense.
more hair color options such as violet (more blue than purple. Violet also has a tiny bit of green in it), realistic shades of ginger, more browns, and true black.
More height options like shorter and taller. Maybe some races allow for even shorter than other races. Hyur could absolutely get taller at max for example. Glute and abs slider.

Possible new option: walk and run variants such as something different for lalafell than the waddle.

the rest is miqote focussed.
other options that could go a long ways: more ear types for miqote, tail patterning made independent from hair, new tail patterns added, more tail length variation (mainly, allowing for shorter), ear patterning made independent from hair, and a few ear patterning options. We could also get more feral for options like long pointy nails and paws for feet.
new tail option: extra extra fluffy. Maine coon levels of fluff.

Its late and this post is full of typos, sorry xD cant Edit it

i would like to add the option to change eye color , im not gonna waste a whole fanta just to change my character eye colors

There's MMOs older than xiv that have better character creation like Aion which is is like... 12-13ish years old.

Even PWI(Perfect world International from 2005) has a much better CC ,their character customization is great , completely in-depth and full control over your character's body

[Luluna]

I have wanted a better CC for years but I am unsure we will ever get, maybe in 8.0? I do not want anything ridiculous just maybe better options for body shape. I want my character to have some shape and I always say it but the 2b bottoms work great but it would be nice if you had more of your bottom covered over.
Maybe they could add more items that change shape but give a little more modesty. I feel that the characters look far to skinny with no shape.

We need eyebrows for the older races that do not look like something the 90s wants back. Makeup scars and a lot more in general, looking at XIV next to other games is really bad and it is something that needs fixing.

Could they give Au Ra proper tails...?

Just curious, what do you mean proper? I think the currently tails are good, just need more options and better texture
