What I noticed in the character creation video.

Only thing i care about on my char is the face that's it the rest will be covered by armor anyway.

Okay okay there are some very polished character creations out there.. but i did not get the feeling of "wow i cant wait to play that game".

People love to nitpick at the tiny little things, hell, we had more hairstyle in alpha 2.0 then we did with Alpha 1.0. Guys should be Grateful!

1.0= 4

2.0= 8

Everything that was in 1.0 alpha got Double in 2.0 Alpha!

And there is more to come just look at this rep post!

We've only just begun with testing A Realm Reborn! Without going into specifics, we can safely say that there will be more options to choose from when it comes to the customization categories in later builds (like additional customization options for Miqo'te tails!)

I was going to post PSO2 character creation video too. ;;

Agreed, I was MUCH more impressed by PSO2's character creator when it was revealed than the stuff shown so far for ARR (still waiting on that "flood," btw)...

Eve's looks pretty nice too from what I skimmed through, although I could've sworn that game was all about space combat... all the gameplay footage I've seen always consisted of fleets of ships fighting each other, lol.

Hell, SE could even look at non-MMORPG games like ModNation Racers (granted, that game is based entirely on user-made content), or Soul Calibur 5, or some of the old Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games for inspiration towards character creator options.

As of right now though, ARR's character creator is barely an improvement over what they originally had for 1.0, although I'm aware that they've only shown two races so far, and they're trying to prioritize their development time. They better blow us away later on though...

Whilst the point 'We are not entitled to more hairstyles' does stand strong I don't believe that's the main point.

Those who are worried about the lack of hairstyles aren't about to leave the game, we all know this.
I'm willing to bet that players feel a lot more fear in regards to 2.0's future than a strong sense of entitlement.

Whilst we are not entitled to more features there is always the case of other games actively supply these features.
If 2.0 can't supply this then what's to say that it can supply anything else?
Not being able to compete or at least have a strong unique killer app scares the playerbase and that's where the majority of these concerns swell from.

I have stated in previous posts that I'm not jumping to conclusions, we've had information provided to us in regards to more features come launch and I really enjoyed the character creation video!

wait.... isn't PSO2 the one with that huge disturbing glitch where the breasts don't stop bouncing... for all eternity o_O -shudders- so disturbing....http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=t9nwPK1nyI0
Yeah... I don't think that's a realistic looking game... I'm pretty sure breasts don't do that >_>

I rather them make us a Splendid game to play , then make a Fashion Design game. While I agree there should be "More hairstyles" it's not the end of the world, the game is far more important then a few measly hair designs. If you have a a Crappy game but a Top Notch Character creation, the CC will amount to nothing. If you have a Splendid game but a decent CC, the game still has a chance to shine through in which we all want more than anything I assume.

They can always make more hair Designs down the road and even open up a Barbershop to fix ones hair. It's not the end of the world, they can make more hair designs as ARR continues it's lifespan. If people worry about this kind of thing now, ARR might not even see the light of day come release time. Game>Aesthetics This isn't a Barbie dress up game.

1. The amazing amount of IMPROVEMENT in character creation. (don't think so? please show me one that looks better)

Minus the Overly large/small heads and Overly fat/skinny body, It's a really good CC.

while the guy in the video chose that build, body and head size can all be adjusted. In the video for body builds, he just goes through the preset ones, but u can go further and use the slider for each body part and chose the proportions you want.

I know it can all be adjusted, but idn, it kinda ruins the feel of the game when you have people actually wanting balloon or lollypop heads. Me: *Walking* lalalalala *Runs into Big grapefruit head* .... >.> Then I see like 4 other people like that, especially when you have RMT they make crazy looking characters with crazy names and stuff.. it just ruins the feel of the game.

In CC, there really should be "some restrictions" so that the game doesn't pop Really atrocious looking characters running about, and people will do that to troll even ( doesn't have to be RMT). I just feel the CC shouldn't be "totally" free to do what you want" because if that's the case ( like in Aion) people can and will make Fat heads with skinny bodies or small head wit fat bodies... it just doesn't look right.
