Char creation disappointment?

[Maxthunder]

Really now? Seriously no matter what The Devs do there is always 1 or more who just want to complain or what have you. This is what The Devs get for listening to the community err shall we say a small portion of the comunity. Dev's just stop and develop the game the way you see fit and stop trying to cater to this group or that group and just do your job with out interference from a small population. Its great to give suggestions and its great when they are used but the Devs need to make the game and not try to please everyone who has something they want, request or demand added in.

Don't forget, Yoshi said that he plans to introduce a way to change your hair in-game (NPC barber or something of the sort)

So even if there aren't more hairstyles by ARR launch, they can certainly introduce more later and you will be able to change it then~

I spend 5 min's making my character and never look back... ever...

So do I want them spending more time on fluff? nope

For once, I agree with the people that want more hairstyles (not for me personally since I don't care, but for a wider audience). It is as apparent as a piece of gear, it's permanent unless they get a barber shop and I think it deserves some effort.

For Alpha, they might just have ported the existing ones and they'll release the others later in beta, who knows. It is too early to say "disappointed" since we only have the tip of the iceberg, but it is important to let the devs know that a good chunk of people care about this.

I know this is just the alpha build and all that and that things may change, but the character creation in XIV 1.0s Beta to release didn’t change much either after feedback besides adding blue/white/red to tail tips, and I know the dev team is most likely very busy with launch and testing servers – but maybe down the road they can build upon the character creation and add new hairstyles in or a barber.

Have someone a screenshot from the 1.0 alpha char creator?

If you think, the beta char creator would be not very different as the alpha creator, you should maybe more complain about only have 2 races with only 1 gender each to choose ^^

It's the alpha, not all options are available, idk why people are getting their panties in a bunch when the final release will probably have more options.

We already know we will be getting more character options. They've said this numerous times. However I don't think they've said anything about hair specifically (I might be wrong, so feel free to correct me if I am). So I'm a little vary. Especially considering hair is probably one of the more resource-heavy character options to add.

Lalafell only has four different hairdo's to choose from right now, and I hope that's now what we'll end up with this time around as well.

Yikes, people blowing up because of hairstyles. Seriously? the video is great, the character creation process looks better than ever before. However, while it may not be the most important thing game wise right now, (to add hairstyles) it certainly adds to the diversity of the game. I'm I sad there are only a handful of hair options right now? No, because this is alpha. But I certainly want them to add to this down the road. If they can't right now due to limited resources, or more important things, than that is fine, but saying that hairstyles aren't important is redundant. The point of creating a character is to make it however you like, to put things into it that you enjoy. The options you choose diversify you from the rest of the population, however small they may be. I'm fairly confident they will add more before ARR release, at least it would make sense to do so.

Strange you would hold that opinion.

Ill be honest I really dont think 2.0 will survive beyond 1 year. I will give it a try but the direction Yoshi is taking the game is not something I am looking forward too. The fact is instead of going above and beyond like SE use to they are just shooting for a standard MMO and we all know there are plenty out there. Some players say this a new generation of MMO's but in fact its not about being the 2nd generation MMO its all about give it to me now, dont wanna work for anything or have competition, it comes down to players just wanting everything NOW, w/o any of the long term goals, w/o any work, these players just want everything handed to them. All in all I am not impressed with what they have done and lets not forget they could have done things much much better.

It is completely true Yoshi and the CEO continue to under-estimate the players base. What Yoshi and the CEO are trying to do is make a fast buck nothing more nothing less. The fact is they dont care about you its about money so they are just giving players anything they ask for at this point. Its all smoke and mirrors but yet a majority of the players are blinded and belive otherwise. The current change is for the worst in the long run. I have said it before and Ill say it again under Yoshi's leadership I give XIV 1 year and thats it. The fact remains that the CEO of SE screwed up and Tanaka took the blame, because they didnt give Tanaka the tools or time to complete XIV. All in all they decided to bring in a lead that dosent even know much or play much of the companies own FF series, and thats plain stupid. This is my opinion I dont care if you agree or not, as you are entitled to your opinions so am I. Tanaka had a vision, if he would have been allowed to finish it, but Yoshi has no vision. With Yoshi its just fan-service and a chance to try and make a name for himself.

And any other number of quotes.

Your answer is in your post.

Lack of communication.
