    Re: Addition of more character customization options

    This thread is a response to a Dev post by Tirairy, translated by Reinheart. Reinheart's post can be found here - text copied below:

    確かにパーツの数が増えると、キャラクター作成の幅が広がるので
    出来るものならいくらでも欲しいところではあります。
    しかし、パーツの数を増えるとキャラクター情報のパケットが増えてしまい、
    ネットワークトラフィックに大きな影響を与えてしまう可能性があります。
    日本のインフラ環境は、世界的に見ても良い方だと思いますが、
    新生FFXIVは日本以外の地域でもサービスが行われますので、
    パーツの追加に関しては、他の地域のインフラ状況を参考にしつつ、
    慎重に検討を行う必要があります。
    ...という事情はあるものの、パーツに関するご要望を受け付けないということはありませんので、
    「こういったパーツが欲しい!」というご意見がありましたら、
    引き続きフィードバックをいただければと思います
    If we can increase the amount of parts it allows to expand the character creation, so if can we want to add as much as we can.
    However, by increasing the amount of parts the characters information (data) packet increases and that could cause a major effect to network traffic. Japans enviroment is pretty good when looking from world, but FFXIV ARR is serviced throughout the world so in regards to character parts, we have to carefully check other regions infrastructure.
    ...although we have that reason, it doesn't mean we're not taking in any ideas regarding parts so if you have ideas/comments on "I want this type of parts!" please continue to leave feedbacks. Thanks
    I would like to respond by saying that I strongly want to see more options added to the character creator if the opportunity to add them arises to the development team.

    I will leave what I would specifically want out of this post, as I do not think it is important to express here. But, as other posters have mentioned, the FFXIV character creator feels very restrictive in the options it provides to players for customizing their characters.

    Therefore I would like to ask that the community organizers please pass on that I (and any who support this thread) would strongly support the addition of more customization options to the game in response to Tirairy's post.

    In the OP's defense, Rukkirii put that in a thread about hairstyles. Triary's post (and reallly Rukk's too, it's just badly placed) is addressing more categories of options, not more options for hair. New categories like Body Hair... lol

    I think we should confront the real problem: Why is the West's internet infrastructure so bad?

    Monopolies produce socially inefficient outcomes. Our telecom companies have monopolies on IT infrastructure, and as a result have no incentive to improve said infrastructure.

    well the USA had the unbreakable infrastructure its a giant mesh network(look it up) where do you think it was made? if your internet sucks because your either cheap or or ISP is ripping you off throttling the hell out of you and they all do it.

    the internet is FREE but your paying some middle man to connect to it from there servers. WWW ment something else in the 50's

    Serious question, I wasnt aware we had an internet problem lol. Are people still running on dialup? Isnt the recommended settings cable?

    I thought it was because the ps3 is usually connected wirelessly..

    What I would like to see is a more effective mechanic to adjust a character's face. For example, if a character's nose looks a little too wide we can pull up a bar to toggle it's width or even the height of the nose and cheek bones. Creating a character is like painting, you want to hold the brush and make a work of art that's personal to you, but in 1.0 it was more like copy & pasting.

    My opinion might cause problems with the data packets mentioned in the OP or something though, so I understand that some things just aren't realistic.
