I'll say one thing.. having played Black Desert, Blade & Soul, ESO, GW2, TERA, STO and SWTOR in the last ten years.. the character creation in FFXIV has by far been the most limiting and disappointing. The saddest part is that age isn't even really the thing to blame for it being such. TERA and STO are from 2011 and 2010 respectively and both are so much better at character creation than FFXIV (be it 1.0 or 2.0). So yes, FFXIV's character creation really, really needs a massive overhaul.
