Request: Please update the character creator!

[Divinemights]

It was always odd to me that final fantasy as a series has memorable & wonderful character designs yet the character creator in FFXIV is very limited.
We should at least be able to wear more than one face paint by now.
(And people have been asking for body sliders for ages as well.)

Perhaps FF14 is not like some wash out Korean MMO need stylish and over-sexualize to gain player base.
They have much better content.

I don't see how wanting more character creation options is related to over-sexualization of player characters in a Korean MMO. People already do that enough with the options they have available to varying degrees for better or worse. I don't judge.

So, I guess we can have boob sliders...but NOT a butt slider!! Because that’s over-sexualization and FFXIV will suddenly be like a Korean MMO!!!!

lolwut

Aside from the fact that people have been asking for things like muscle sliders on ALL races and not just some. Not just butt sliders.


I’m all for more character customization. I’d rather that over a new race. Upgrade the textures on the older races (because Viera and Au Ra do have better textures compared to the OG races), add some more options like muscle sliders, a butt slider (why not, we can already adjust the size of our boobs so), and allow us more than one face paint. Just to name a few. Idk why my character can have a facial tattoo, but only if she doesn’t put eye shadow or blush on!

(While we’re at it, I’d move more tattoo options—including body tattoos. I know the chance is low because blah blah Yakuza references blah blah, but would be nice.)

Honestly even max size breasts aren't all that crazy in this game considering the races that have the larger chests are also the larger framed races like roes/highlanders etc. A butt slider of similar ranges I don't think would be 'over sexualization' any more than what we have now.

On a technical level I don't know if it's feasible for them to add a butt slider though. Either way, it would be nice to see options expanded regardless of if that particular request can be fulfilled. Give highlander men eyebrows you cowards.

I agree. I'm tired of looking like this almost all of the time.



However, if it's done right you can barely tell unless you zoom way in on a character's face. The right combination of skin, hair and faces can mask it well enough.

All they really need to do is make the bums bigger on the pant models. It's doable - Yoko Taro made sure of it. Same goes for the chest on tunic models.

I doubt sliders would happen with the current technology, because they would have to do something that would affect every piece of gear out there, and I don't think such "structure" exists, unless it's some artifact code from 1.0.

I actually think that the models are pretty fine as they are aging quite well... But there are two things that the models really need:

01) Upscale of textures. I said once, and now again, it's kinda disappointing that we have such blurry mess of textures! How they can even think about releasing a PS5 client with these standards?

02) Variety of available features. Since sliders is something we're not even sure we can get someday, they got to add more options. How only 04 faces for most races is okay? Between adding new options and separating old ones (e.g. Au Ra horns), there's a lot they can tinker to make impactful additions for little modelling effort.

Being able to wear more than 1 face paint isn't over stylized or sexualized- if you don't agree with updates, perhaps make a thread suggesting it

And tell people in FFXIV to stop wearing skimpy clothing or 2B butt, since those players fall into the demographic of having over-sexualized characters- they should go back to a korean MMO, right?

This thread is meant to be positive & suggest good things for an otherwise, very out dated character creator

I agree with updated textures, many of the faces in character creator just look like the creepy mannequin faces right before they're painted to look more human

Came across this thread. There's been others in the past asking for the character creator to be updated and it's time SE did it. Other threads talking about it that I found below:
