Request for More Character Customization Options

[WeebStarz]

I feel like with such a character focused game like FFXIV, that the character customization options are sometimes lacking. I'd like to see some more options when it comes to creating a character, such as having a character look older, or perhaps a different body type! Here's a small list of options I'd like to see:

• Separate Au ra horns from faces, so any face can use any horn type.
• Give all races 'limbal'-like options for eye glows or colors.
• Allow us to make our characters look older, or slightly thicker! I'd love for my au ra's tail to be even thicker, for example. I have some friends that RP older characters, it would be nice to see the wrinkles they're supposed to have in game.
• Add more facial make up options, and allow us to use multiple at once. Having blush and eyeshadow at the same time would be really nice!
• Allow for pronouns to be set separately from body type. If this is hard to do in character creation, you could have a Loporrit NPC in the over-world help you change it, maybe?

What other customization options would you like to see?

I hate to be that person but you know
1) 5+ years to get hats on Viera
2) A whole expansion where double dye channels were a main feature, and gearsets out of two of the new dungeons are not even dyeable?
3) Extra hair styles are sold on the online store

I think you are getting what im putting down

2) A whole expansion where double dye channels were a main feature, and gearsets out of two of the new dungeons are not even dyeable?

And sometimes the second dye channel is just like the threads of a button, and that's not even an exaggeration it's a literal example.

I would really love the option of having two (or maybe even more!) hairstyles to toggle from in normal gameplay without going to the aesthetician. As in, during character creation or the aesthetician appearance edit menu, be able to choose yourself 2(+) hairstyles you want to be able to toggle between on the fly.
...or perhaps hairstyles connected to glamour plates? That would be so awesome. ^,^

My character has long hair and I find myself going back to the aesthetician constantly if I want to switch from a high ponytail or showing his hair down, so I've been thinking about this for years.

I apologize if this has been a widely suggested character customization trait for a long time ^^; I haven't used the forums much.

i'd love to mix and match horns between faces (and genders too pls!!) and also be able to edit the size/thickness of limbal rings and their glow.

a flat chest option for all female wols would also be so great!! and at least some way to make slight differences in body types...

i would really like to see a toggle for dark colored eyebrows! making a character with light hair and light skin makes their expressions more difficult to see, and this would help a lot with that...

im also on team "flat chested female characters" but that has already been spoken of a lot. to add to that, i would like to be able to toggle how the npcs and ingame dialog refers to my character. but that might be too much to ask.

Finally cracked and made a forum account just for this.

Here's my big wishlist regardless of wait time or feasibility because I think they would be cool:

• Au Ra horn swapping. Not just between faces, but genders as well.
• Dyeable eyelashes for everyone. We have the the toggle option on M Viera, I'd like to see it on different races and different faces. It's a nice touch that adds a lot of flavor and I think it'd be nice for the faces that don't really have a lot of eyelash going on to get something more striking.
• Age slider, or at least more old faces. It's annoying that only males get to be old, let the ladies have some wrinkles too.
• Better eyebrows. I am on my hands and knees, BEGGING for eyebrows on Male Highlander. And while we're at it, more thick eyebrow options for everyone would also be nice. I don't mean the toggle where the eyebrows get penciled in a little more, I mean big strong eyebrows. Fem Seeker eyebrows. I hate the pencil thin eraser shaving eyebrows some faces get stuck with.
• Viera tail (toggleable). I just think it would be cute. No other reason.
• More minor face variation. More noses, lips, eye shapes for all faces. It might help fix the "makeup vs no makeup" problem going on with Fem Elezen. And it wouldn't require making all new faces for every race.
• More Face Paint Slots. Some people want blush and freckles, or eyeshadow and cute little whiskers, or to just cover themselves in paint and complete their clown look.
• Scars and tattoos. This game needs more scars. We are playing the Warrior of Light, and we have seen things. We've covered wars, y'know. Tattoos that aren't attached to random (sometimes class-locked) clothing and instead to our actual characters would also be nice.
• More unique hair options. Please, please, please add more curly and loc hairstyles. Braids, fluffier hair, dyable hair accessories if they're going to be a permanent fixture of the hair, toggleable bits/alternative styles for Au Ra and Miqo'te to get rid of the weird horns and black ears that some of their default hairs have. Just changing the default hair options alone could add a ton.
• Better body type options. This is the most obvious. The chest slider on feminine body types is not very good (I don't even know why it exists on Lala other than as a joke). Flat chest and bigger chest option would be nice for a little more diversity. Muscle sliders for everyone, a slider to be a bit pudgier. Also a butt slider because almost every race is laughably flat and it's incredibly noticeable in the myriad of swimsuits that keep getting added to this game.
• More color palettes/color options. I can't tell if the NPCs from Solution 9 are meant to hint that this is a thing in the works, or just there to taunt us with hair colors we can't have. Either way, I want it.
