    what I learned from this, is that thank the jp players for the elaborate feedback in their forums, detailing the concerns of the community regarding particular character issues and graphical issues just as well as thanking the devs for addressing said concerns.
    Edit: I didn't think this comment would start a weird debate. Sorry let me clarify this: I am praising the handful of players (most of which happen to be JP players) who took the time to create elaborate diagrams of the issues regarding graphics and character design flaws within the character creation section. Broad as my sweeping statement was, I have no intent in opening that debacle of whatever favoritism that SE has when it comes to feedback.

    Lost Ark has a "Phantasia" type item. They let you change your character unlimited times in a 24 hour period. Once 24 hours is up the Phantasia like item will be complete. Maybe FFXIV can add that feature to help alleviate people's concerns.

    • @jacob3761
      @jacob3761 Месяц назад +12

      I always think about stuff like this because you need a phantasia to change your character, but what if you decide you don’t like it and want to revert back? Well then you gotta buy another one which honestly really sucks. I think they should either do it like you said or give a 48h or 1 week timer in which you can revert your character, but the phantasia won’t be refunded if you decide to revert

    If they change the character creation would that affect the aesthetician screen as well fue to being almost the same but with fewer features to change? Many times, I notice that while selecting a hair color or make-up in game is different there.

    • @jordanrodrigues1279
      @jordanrodrigues1279 Месяц назад

      It should. As far as I can tell, the esthetician is just character creation/fantasia with fewer options. We know the code spaghetti is bad but it makes no sense for them to have ever developed a second, separate super-special system to do exactly the same thing.
      It would be better if it was never separated in the first place, imo, but it makes sense with the PS3. Character creation was the closest you'd ever see your character before gpose/plates, and there's no other characters to render, so they should maybe use a higher level of detail than the PS3 or potatoes could handle in the game proper. Maybe.

  • @Karloss00
    @Karloss00 Месяц назад +9

    Character creation needs a bit of an overhaul in general.
    - As some mentioned an RGB Wheels would be great for all colour choosing, with colour sliders to keep characters in the lore-canon skin tones.
    - Be nice for Hrothgar hair to be separate from their fur so you can have different coloured hair and hair highlights from their shoulder fur.
    - A white room would really help in making sure our characters are correct so no shadows or vary light strengths are confusing players.
    - A character mute option in the voice (Type 13 or just Mute) For those who may not have a liking of any voice. And no; muting the voice levels in the settings does not fix the problem when all voice (including that in cutscenes) are disabled.

    They should make the nose ash of Hellsguard Roegadyn's toggleable
    and enhance it's visibility in the 7.0 character appearance. It is almost impossible to see
    in the new appearance, the nose ash is a thing they have put heavy emphasis on regarding lore
    differentiation between Seawolf and Hellsguard.
    So they should make it more visible than it is in the, Benchmark to be about as visible
    as it currently is in game. It should be togglable so we can opt out of having it like some
    Hellsguard (like the warrior quest ones) have, as lore wise it is optional for hellsguard anyway.
    This same logic should be applied to viera too to bring back the nose appearance or toggle it.

    I personally saw no issue with the benchmark and thought all my old chars presets from my many fantasias over the years looked great(except my viera looked kinda chubby/round cheeked), but the fact they responded to the small source of complaints just makes me love this team even more, double so since they're giving a new benchmark to try the changes before release.

    I really really hope they fix the textures for face 2 male Duskwight Elezen. For some reason they swapped out our textures for the Wildwood ones, unsightly eyebags included! They were also applied strangely which results in thick eyebrows, totally jacked eyelids, and mottled skin on our cheeks.

    Good, I'm glad they're prioritizing the benchmark, because its the only way we can give them detailed feedback on the visual changes before launch.
    Plus it'll let us more reliably design our updated characters ahead of time so we don't have to spend (much) time on it after launch. I just gave up trying to fine tune mine because the only way to tell if it worked at all was relaunch the benchmark every time.

    My only complaints about the benchmark was how female hrothgar hairstyles were tied to the face you picked, or how changing the color of the hair on your head also changed a portion of the fur on your body.

    There is still some issues I didn't really see addressed here and that is the big change to hair highlights. In my opinion majority of them were for the worst. There is also still some issues with some of the old hair looking better in detail than the new ones. Another issue not addressed was some of the hair color not translating well to the new color for example pink, your eyebrows look almost none existent and it is more evident in the female Highlanders. It is also because some of the black textures that made the eyebrows pop up is not on the eyebrows anymore. My last issue that I did not see a lot of complaints about is a lot of the face details, specifically with rug looking characters being shifted to looking more smooth with less wrinkles and darkness around there eye and as a person who loved these features on my characters it makes me sad to see them go away.

    • @Midnightear
      @Midnightear Месяц назад +1

      The hair color/texture in the new update look very dull and flat imo and less vibrant. The old game had a pleasing looking hair shine that follows your character. The color black is deleted and is now 'dark grey'. I can't really have any dark brown hair anymore....
      Everyone is slowly shifting into a rounder, softer, 'perfect' doll look on females...
      I've been lurking on the forums alot, trust me alot of people are noticing everything is becoming softer/smoother/round. I feel like alot of flaws and what made faces/races unique is getting homogenized.

  • @Strider_Shinryu
    @Strider_Shinryu Месяц назад

    Honestly, there's really only two things I want out of the Character Creator (outside of more selectable options of course):
    1.) An actual proper neutral backdrop with only one non-moving key light. It's great to be able to see my character in a variety of settings before I start the game.. but that doesn't help for actually creator my character. If they intend for the Aetherial Sea to be the "neutral" choice then fine.. but it's not bright enough and needs a stronger key light to rotate your character in relation to
    2.) Better camera control. Right now you can't even come close to zooming in enough to see a lot of the details you're asked to choose from. Just import the camera controls from /gpose and it will be perfect

    Did I miss it or what is not addressed...? I'm concerned about why my Viera's Hairstyle highlights were changed in the Benchmark. I have had the same hairstyle for my Viera since they released. When I noticed the highlights where altered it was jarring. It completely throws off my character's look and it's literally the only hairstyle that works for her. I've tested all the other hairs and none are right that's why I stuck with the original. Now I'm a bit upset because even this hairstyle is bad now. She has all these horizontal white "highlight" lines going across the back of her head it looks hideous ridiculous and completely unnatural and fake. I'm super upset. The eyes changed, the mouth changed and those were addressed and hopefully wont look weird with the new benchmark - fingers crossed. But nothing addressed the hairstyles only something to do with the ears not matching (which I didn't notice on mine) Confused and freaking out. The back of my bunny's head is not supposed to look like a zebra's backside.....please god don't let this change stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      There was something with female Viera hairstyles as well. There are two hairstyles that are very similar, except one has a braided tail and maybe some other small alterations.
      The braided version got the UVs/highlight locations pasted over from the non-braided version, while currently those two hairstyles have different highlight areas/distribution. It's probably a similar situation for you. It should just be an oversight.

    Given they charge for character appearance changes, it's important for players to actually receive what they're 'sold' on.
    What they should really do (given the time) is a 'test' option in the creator, where it loads you into an empty copy of a real worldspace, that you can move around in.
    So many games have character creation settings that don't reflect the actual game, so I'll make what appears to be a beautiful character, but looks like an old granny in the actual game.
