Personally, I'd like to know how the art team tests their designs. How do they choose what gets modeled? Do they run their models by others, test to see what is or isn't going to be picked? Do they test for eastern and western sensibilities? Maybe that bottom right Au Ra male face is super popular in japan, but I see it used less on the RPC and tumblr.Â
I've found myself thinking, and sometimes saying out loud to no one but myself "Oh. If only this weren't there, or if that was over..." with many of the options. To me, I see a lot of wasted potential, but again, it's only my opinion. It's not just FFXIV, or the Au Ra (which I love, not to give anyone any impression otherwise.) I see it across the entire genre.Â
Without fail, I have never seen any MMO change any character creator after beta, or take player feedback seriously regarding the character creator, or the models, or what options people would like to see in addition. Of course, I haven't played all MMOs, but I've played some of the bigger-named titles from the past twelve years. I've seen barber shops added, maybe some hair styles, but for the most part, what we get is what we get. I don't like it anymore than anyone else. And I'd like to think developers can do better. I'd like to see developers do better.Â
A quick quip. Please indulge me. Not sure what happened to, and I paraphrase, "You'll be able to make the females look beastial, too." Except, I don't see anything that looks beastial, at all, and I wonder now if that's just something lost in translation, or if I just have an idea that radically differs from what Yoshi P thinks is beastial. Probably.
