Endwalker and Beards

[TeraRamis]

I don't play male toons, but 100 percent support the inclusion of real beards.

[BaconBits]

Don't forget about Jecht.

[Hausti]

Totally agree. We need more beards.

[HuaTuo]

was trying to look up this very thing and ended up here. I want gandalf-like beard on my character, or at least something reasonably close to that. Plying female toon until then, while upskirting it every chance I get xD Which might be forever, seeing how things are going..

[Shin96]

Character creator in FFXIV is seriously outdated. I want to see more customization options going forward. Especially concering body sliders, etc. (if possible).

Same with hairstyles. As a male I like to have shorter hair, when I play female I like having medium to longer hair. Looks absolutely matter.

it's probably an engine issue with the game, I mean the game is 10 years old...I highly doubt they can add anything to beards, only hairstyles.


just wait for the next ff mmo with a new engine

Considering that ff14 now is the most profitable game in the series, i don‘t think a new mmo is on the horizon.
I‘d love to see upgrades to the engine. There were tidbits of info in some interviews pointing at that direction. Seems like the devs are at least considering it or working on it in their spare time.

No, it's not. They don't need a new technology to add new options of beard to a game that already has beards in it. They literally included a Lion race full of fur in the face. I think in 7.0 they could dedicate some time to make a big addition to customization in the game, I don't think they really need to overhaul the system, but just add way more options to the stuff that normally don't get new options regularly (like tattoos, beard, scars and etc)

I highly doubt it, i think for new engine they would have to redo the game which is very costly.

And i think your forgetting those Final Fantasy mobile titles, they make a good chunk of money too. Only reason why xiv is most profitable is because its tied to a monthly subscription, mog station and expansions


Other Final Fantasy games dont have that option


I really think they should just make a new ff mmo imo, probably with a better battle system too

I wasn’t talking about a whole new engine either, just tweaking the one it already uses.
The main reason ff14 is so profitable is because even with it‘s flaws it‘s a really good game with devs that genuinely care about its player base.
Ff14 1.0 was also subscription based, did it fare well? It was a disaster from a financial standpoint, which resulted in reworking the actual game, rather than move on to another ff title.
I just don‘t see them creating a whole new mmo, when they just could tweak the current engine we have now.

Just a tidbit of an interview:

Yoshida explained that the (engine)update isn’t happening right now either because he wanted to focus more on the actual gameplay and story with Endwalker, which is supposed to be the conclusion to the game’s ongoing narrative arc, and the setup for a new one for its future. That said, Yoshida also says work on the graphics engine update will begin eventually.

If the new mmo would cover a different genre, than maybe a future mmo could be in the pipeline. As long as it would compete with 14 i dont really see it happening.
