But they really need to add more options for every race. People have been requesting more facial hair options for years. The character model for Clive in the XVI crossover event looks great. It would be nice to have the options to create characters you see in the game that aren't tied to the same face. Let players have more creative control by adding more hair, face, and even different body size options.
Sorry, this is ffxiv, where any cool, attractive &/or unique features are reserved strictly for NPC's

Clive's hair is abit over the top as SE is want to do when designing characters- his hair looks like Mel Gibsons from Lethal weapon lol; but we should have gotten it still (maybe in the future) but I'd also want Jill Warricks hair, even if it's made shorter. I'm really over XIV team shelving almost all of their female characters when they do a collab.
Like, Where is Garnets hair & outfit? Terra? Ashelia? Rikku? Rinoa? Aerith & Tifa? Then there's more female characters from other FF titles where we have only the male protag outfit.
I've been asking for (and many others) Hilda's hair and other hairs for years. Yoshi-P himself said he'd add it if people asked for it.

The lack of long hair variety is really frustrating
The lack of full beards and different types of stubble; highlander eyebrows
Older faces & new faces for each race
Jawlines (bc most characters lack an actual jawline & just have dorito anime face)
Wearing more than 1 facepaint at a time- I'd like to stack my face paints by wearing blush AND eyeshadow.
Non-gloss lipstick (why is it only gloss? its not 2005 anymore)
Au Ra with interchangeable horns
Half-elezen
Garlean 3rd eye
etc

Maybe I'm coming off to harsh but it's no secret that the character customization in this game needs an update.
We'll have to see if it ever happens
