Better character creation

[VAMPIRE]

Im not sure if this is in the works, but please add more options for character creation.. Everyone almost looks the same and besides the glam and colors of glam.

Maybe add a face slider like most mmos have where you can shape the entire face to a certain extent?

More color options for everything , eyes , hair ect. I feel like there should be a color wheel so there are limitless color combos.. I feel like just those 2 things alone would add so much more character variety.

Also.. people like to make their characters look "attractive" i feel like the body shapes should have a slider for too.. at least be able to change the shape of your body in some ways.. for men to have broader shoulders ect.. or females with thicker curvier thighs or slightly wider hips ect..

I dont really wanna use mods soo yeah..

Hopefully one day we can have more control over the look of our characters.. :*(

Its 2025 and FFXIV still feels 2014 in a lot of ways..

You could have saved me a lot of time reading this if you had just put in the beginning that you want bust/butt sliders. But yeah, you're right. Almost everyone (specifically cat and lizard girl players) look like carbon copies of each other.

I feel like anytime I read something like this it is from a person who lacks imagination and just creates the same basic character design no matter what game they play with any degree of character customization. If everyone you see or know looks the same then that just means everyone else is suffering from the same lack of creativity and level of laziness.

It feels like people just go with the default eyes option, face option, mouth option, tail option, etc.. People need to mess around with the settings and play around with skin color.

Sure there are other games that have more in-depth character creation, but saying that everyone looks the same in this game is a red flag as far as I'm concerned.

There are ways - go check Twitter.

They could learn a lot from PSO2, like the character creator with your desired bust/butt slider among others. Or Creative Space, not the terrible FF14 housing.

I mean on any game i love to deeply customize my dude, on ffxiv yes there are a few options, but there are only so many combinations you know.

I dont think its an "imagination" problem, like you said there could be MORE depth. So if there is little depth besides changing the slight angle of your eyes / nose / jaw then.. how is it a red flag lmao?

There is just little options in the grand scheme of the game and amount of players around. A lot of the options you do have dont look good or look very similar, like the hairstyles most look very similar in style even the "new" ones and then you have limited color options.

Just saying, why does the game still have 2014 character creation.. Devs could easily upgrade the system or work with modders to improve it if they lack the imagination or drive, but typical they are close minded.

Yes, the character creation/customisation in this game is over a decade old and has barely changed in that time. It is severe in need of overhauling and improving.

I just wouldn't expect it, as it is Square Enix after all.

Forget that, I want Dong Sliders

You can add thousands of different faces and options and people will still find their way to the “Elf” race with the hourglass body, meta school girl face and the posh hair.
