I suppose that I haven't yet considered that small indie company Square Enix couldn't possibly handle this insurmountable task with how poorly performing their least popular property, the MMORPG Final Fantasy Fourteen, is...

Forgive me for my snark, but I & hundreds of thousands of other players (including yourself!) spend way too much money on this game to simply accept the sorry state of character customization & the other issues in FFXIV.

Like, they still haven't taken the time to implement good, wearable Viera & Hrothgar hats (without shrinking the hat, completely doing away with hairs & ears, &/or clipping ears through hats), but some random modder is out there painstakingly making otherwise invisible headgear wearable on Viera & Hrothgar without cutting any corners. We shouldn't act like this is acceptable on the developers' behalf when it absolutely is not.

Whoops, I went on a bit of an unrelated rant there. I can't emphasize enough how much I hate the male Au Ra gamble, though. It's painful to look at & I have to run around with my weapon drawn because it's slightly less distracting & bad-looking. I haven't entertained the notion of having a female Au Ra alt player character after seeing their animations because the cute-little-anime-girliness of it all, alongside the extreme height differences & no black sclera on female Xaela, just... really put me off, personally.
