A lot of scans and details! It also shows the difference in the tribes I think.
Or at least skin tone choices. And other things! This also seems to confirm the same face/head type can have a different hairstyle.
So face type and hair type selection are now independant instead of preset based on the face you choose.

Many details and media! And information yet to be translated!

The first scan has a lot of text, maybe something new can be learned!

Though I think there shouldn't be too much customization. FFXI already downgraded the in-game models compared to the
character creation models (but that was because of ps2 limits, now it's a different story for FFXIV, which will now depend on
how much customization there will be, the more customization, the less quality the in-game models will be. All
games with character creation when compared to preset models or models with limited customization are proof of this.

We know the in-game models won't be CG quality. but if they are at least virtually equal to the placeholder models displayed
in character creation, then the in-game models will definitely look much better than the difference between FFXI's
CG, character creation model, and in-game version of the model.

I can't view the images in that link you supplied because ImageShack doesn't want hot linking on large images.

Chances are the character creation will represent what you see in game, as all modern MMO's do it this way. Remember that when FFXI came out, there were far more limitations than there are compared to this generation. Also more customisation does not equal less quality either. I just hope they don't go overboard like in Aion; they need tigher limits so there's not a bunch of ugly characters running around ruining the immersion, but I want enough to stand out a bit.

Unless someone can find a better source for the images:

here we go

the most noticeable thing is how you seem to be able to add further details to your face, as shown on the galka section, same faces but difference in details, scars, marks, etc.

Just another reason for people raising healing magic to cast spells on you... (ITS A TRAP!)

Glad they are actualy adding customization to the character creation.

Re: FFXIV Character creation details revealed!

It's interesting to see that you can customize your face with bandages etc. It will make your character more unique to other people playing instead of everyone with just different haircuts and races like in FFXI. ^_^

Also notice you can choose the color of your underwear.

Not that impressive in itself but hopefully a hint of being able to dye your armors?

Being able to change skin color, hair styles, faces, details... Hopefully this will lead to a more diverse population instead of everyone being a white haired Mithra :X

I didn't see that - it very well could be. It would very different and fascinating if you could dye your different armour sets to whatever colour you wished so you could look even more unique.

Well Guild Wars did that.... But then everyone looked like a clone with Black Platemail on as a warrior... Or a green ranger... lol

Re: FFXIV Character creation details revealed!

I hope they add being able to dye armor as a product of the Weaver or Alchemist. That would be really cool. Have the Alchemist make the dye, and have the Weaver apply the dye. If you are able to dye your armor, I hope there will be a large variety of colors. It could make for a pretty interesting experience. Different colors for different moods

I don't think being able to choose the color of your undies is a hint towards that.. I don't doubt we will be able to dye armor. I just don't that that is a hint lol.

Re: FFXIV Character creation details revealed!

Why not? Its clothes, in different colors.

Re: FFXIV Character creation details revealed!

Cause that may be a permanent choice that goes into your character customization... Unless you can change facial features any time. I dunno I haven't read anything in a while.
