I won't lie when I say I was irked when I came from games with tons of sliders to customize a character's appearance (Perfect World and Aion come to mind).
I'm not exactly pleased with the amount of actual options available. (How come SE can add in 10 new hairstyles since the release, but putting in some eyebrows for Highlanders or a new facial hair option is "impossible to implement due certain limitations"?)
The FFXIV character creator kinda sucks when it's compared to other ones that offer more options. But you know what we get out of it? Better looking characters. Ones that work well with motion capture. And I like that.
Sure, there's still the armor/hair clipping. But please show me an MMO that allowed for more diverse characters that doesn't have that issue, AND rivals FFXIV in terms of players and lore. I don't think one exists. And certainly not as a cross-platform game between the PS3, PS4 and PC.
