[dev1035] Character creation/customization? Yes please.

[Agastya]

Greetings community team.

I just want to share my disappointment about the character creation options.
Even if it’s a little better than FFXI, it is still insufficient compared to others mmorpgs released nowadays...
One of the worst thing i can’t stand in a mmorpg is seeing my clone every 2 minutes when running in a city, the avatar creation should be the most advanced possible to avoid this problem.
Here are a few suggestions to improve the character creation feature.

-Option to modify body anatomy, especially with the face, add more options on eyes/eyebrow/chin/jaw/jigs/lips ect...with those we should have the possibilty to create an unique character.

-A lot more hairstyle, i’ve saw some hairstyle from FFXI but then why some are missing?
Others exclusive hairstyle are welcome of course.

-Color panel should not be imposed, a complete color swatche should be implanted for some features. I understand there must be a visual difference between wildwood/duskwight, but still...i’m disapointed i can’t have a wildwood elezen with red eye.

-More advanced option on character voice tone.

-more options with characteristics, some are barely visible...
At the moment the ffxiv character creation features are close to the one we found on free mmorpg.

-An option to modifiy some character's features (hair, skin color, eyes color) later in the game if players wish to.

I’m well aware there is at the moment tons of others vital adjustment to be done before reviewing the character creation, but still i think in a game where we’ll play hours/months/years with our avatar, having an unique character (at least close to unique) is important.

A new dev tag should be created for character customization.

Thanks for reading.

Regards.

PS: Sorry to double post with those who have already talked about this matter in general discussion, but in my opinion if there is a tag for the jump feature...we need one for character customization in gameplay section.
