Genuinely stunned this is a thing/topic of conversation or consternation...but I guess some will bitch about anything...
It's stunning to you that something that has been a problem since day one, has gotten people complaining about it since day one, and has yet to see any improvement... stirs consternation??
I know what stuns me in this thread, and it's certainly not SE's lacking customization options. >_>
The fact of the matter is, players love to customize their characters. More tools to do so are always going to be a win in a lot of players' books. There's a reason MMO character creation has taken off so much since the WoW days (not a good MMO to point to as an excuse for FFXIV... that game is over a decade old): devs realized that players want to make their character their own.
Now in FFXIV, maybe sliders are too much given the limitations on certain consoles. But I don't think it's anywhere remotely out of touch to expect more than four face options, or more than four almost indiscernible adjustments to nose/jaw/mouth shapes, or for extra customization features that aren't restricted to certain face types, or for a muscle slider for all the dang races. Body type presets instead of body sliders. It is completely possible to work within the design laid out by FFXIV's current character creation tools and simply expand on them to have a set-up that's pretty respectable even though it doesn't have much in the way of sliders.Â
That said, there's no "adjusting armor models" argument that is valid when it comes to face sliders. I presume they would cry "memory limitations" as they tend to.
