NEW vid! Character Creation.

[indira]

too bad 99% of it is already in the game @_@;

It's not even about the Character Creation that has me stoked, it's how fast everything works ( for an Alpha Version) That gets me thinking ( If they are this far done, and were only in Alpha, I can only imagine what the Retail version will be like.) I really didn't get that feeling with the 1.0 Alpha.

First Impressions are a big deal!

thats what we thought 2 years ago lol. this times looks alot better though. hope they add more before release.

I'd like more options. Other than that looks spiffy.

Maybe I can finally make the spiritual successor to my FFXI character.

Half the reason I didn't roll Hyur was because I couldn't be bald and have cool tats.

But at the same time, female roe looks interesting too, but I generally hate having female characters unless they're Lalafells or something.

Ugh I dunno, I hate being indecisive.

WHM relic glows on his back in passive mode- wish they would have switched to BLM to see if it does the same thing...

You can only play Bard,WHM and DRG and also the light in passive mode is due to them not coding it yet it would only glow when you have it out yoshi-p said it

Looks great! My miqote will have the longest tail possible!

Is it weird that I pretty much expect links to be a Rick Roll now? I am glad this isn't one!

Thanks for the link!

EDIT:
Is the "build" option seriously just bump mapping? Females get actual bigger bewbz, but males stay the same shape...with more "defined" features?

Life is so unfair...

Well it's not like they would've made us have bigger boobs. I think the build feature for males makes your muscles more or less defined, which I guess shows masculinity similar to how breasts show femininity? I dunno >.<

I'd prefer to see build done better. More muscular shoulders and arms. Six pack etc.

So far it seems to just bulk you up.

Was already stated many times that they are implementing more styles. Obviously they would include the styles already made first with the alpha.

The point isn't totally to preview all of the new things coming in 2.0. The point is to test and find bugs and to fix players to do things that would stress the game to see how it holds up. How is adding all these planned hair styles and such going to help that?

Also, you're lucky they are presenting this game's development as an open book. Most people have to sneak their way around to see footage.

Tell us when we're allowed to ask for more character customization options.

[Tonkra]

too less hairstyles if you ask me. but the other options are ok.

and personally we cant speak anymore of a downgrade when it comes to characters.. the style looks so aussum. less static. more dynamic.. especially in the end when he equips the AF armors.

[Lirion]

When it comes to hairstyle I don't think we have to worry much. First this is alpha so not everything might be in yet and second with the ability to be able to change hairstyle in-game later (wont be ready at launch) they can release as many new hairstyles as they want throughout the life of this game. So the hair you pick now might not be the one you're having maybe a year from now.

I like the way it is.. so i'm happy that i wont see crap like this:
