hypothetical: alternate miqote eye markings

[Local_Custard]

I got this idea the other day- what if you could choose your miqo'te eye markings and have it be independent from the eye type? And then I thought: what if there were many options?
I decided to make a visual for this

I tried working with three different eye shapes. Like I said, the eye shape wouldn't choose the eye marking. I had a load of fun making this! ^^ really got to stretch what I could do with color palettes.

This idea seems pretty good for a customization improvement. They really need to step that game up, even regarding consistency: Miqo male face 1 has a side eye marking that is optional, yet face 4 gets the same marking but you can't opt out - ideally both should be optional if it's for one of the faces.

Makes me think if this kind of thing is on their radar. They are surely improving character models, but we don't know anything about the customization options. What seems to be the current case is that everything - but hairstyles and face paint -were made (or re-made) in 2.0 without an 'expansion' in mind, so technically it appears to have limited slots. Biggest proof is that to give players the highly demanded midlander stubble, they literally had to duplicate one of the faces only to have that feature and is not even optional.

interesting. I'm glad you like my idea! I think any new option can be a win (well as long as the race gets to keep its core features such as hrothgar keeping their ears).

We also need to be able to choose whether we want blackened/spotted ears independently of the haircut and such blackening/spots having their own color to choose.

As well as more beard options because miqo'te are quite lacking in this department (and males in general).

These things are part of an overdue update to the character creator. With the graphical update, it has to become a reality.

With the graphical update on the way. One can only hope they continue with something like this for further character customization.

I absolutely want beards too. Japanese people don't really grow beards though so that's probably why we don't have them yet is my guess.

would be nice!

What do you mean? Do you mean cannot grow a beard or they shave their beards or?

I agree. But I could take it a step further: why stop at ear tips? How about stripes on those ears or feline-style spots? How about a width and length slider?

Actually I have another thing we can add to request as well.
The ability to split up tails and hair. Maybe I don't want my tail to be whatever color my hair is. Would help out with glams a lot.

Sounds interesting! I have thought of that and would not mind this. Maybe the ears could be colored with the tail instead and the hair be a separate part for colors?

Togglable blackened ears on any hairstyle first REEEE!

For the most part they cannot. Asian people as a whole have lower testosterone compared to other races.
That's why a lot of their features are the way they are (small size, rarely see facial hair, sweat much less)

Hyur and Roegadyn have beards. So do Hrothgar and there's plenty of examples of young and older characters in recent Final Fantasy games with different types of beards.

I don't think the reason is necessarily the developers' origins.
