Char creation disappointment?

[Fadigre]

I agree with you, Ladon. Enix do have limited resources and it would be a dreadful shame if game content suffered as a result of an improved creation system.

However with that being said, one of the main pulls of FF MMOs is the attachment to your character. Many players don't treat their presence in game as a visual avatar, they treat like they would their own physical body! This is a big pull that Enix has a monopoly over due to only needing one character to experience multiple aspects and the entirety of the game's story line.
Hell, I imagine players make their own stories through their intense experiences through party-based content! Aren't Enix really proud of their storylines? I'm sure they're always trying to push them on us and draw in an audience that would appreciate them to their fullest.

Whilst stories don't particular matter to me, my appearance outside of the game does. Why would this change for me in-game, too? I'd like to point out that this comment is horribly contradictive in regards to my last comment!

Finally... we're in 2012.
5-6 styles to choose from for your hair is dripping with early 2000 nostalgia. In a bad way. Remember the year 2000 was a decade ago now!

I'm sure there's a balance out there between quality in both game and creation.

Kinda that's all and good, but actual new hair styles would be great
like i said before all the extra features in customization in the char creation are fine - nothing wrong with them, just after the hair. Hopefully though Rukkirii's comment about more customization in later builds cover default hair styles. Thanks Fadigre ('w')

Oh, uhm... you're welcome!
