I do like how crafting/HELM are actual job classes, for people who don't mind being a staple of the economy and not necessarily out smashing things all the time, a nice touch imo

also i was hoping it would be more like demon's souls, or oblivion's char creation but then i realized that this is an MMORPG and that palette swaps are gonna more/less have to be part of the game, you can't have thousands of different models running around, i'm sure that would be stressful on the servers (i'm not a programmer but this sounds like how it probably would be)

Dude in the video sounded creepy.

That aside the character creator looks soooo much better than before. No need for the fields in the background. Much smoother experience overall.

Wheres my invite?! ;/

I'd say the guy was using 40% "talking to a toddler," 40% BAAAD actor, and 10% pillow-talk. If nothing else, at least he's teaching the japanese to fear the NA players. As for the actual content, I won't really be too excited about character creation until I actually get to play the game.

I muted the video for the most part because of how creepy he was... made the whole video much more entertaining and appropriate >.>.

[vrumpt]

was extremely impressed with how clean and attractive the character creation was in that video. SE knows how to make a pretty game.

[Gokulo]

While the creator looks a lot better now, it still could get improved imo. More hair options etc would be good, S-E could finally learn to use sliders instead of premades only (but I know that won't happen), also there's only a couple of characteristics and you can't really change anything about them which sucks.

[Shenrien]

Wow.. the animations are so smooth and everything looks so nice, I can't wait

[Cesaria]

Considering it kept me amused for at least 20 minutes trying out different hair highlights in alpha... I'll have a character created for beta in about 20 years.

[Kaelan?]

Gotta say the UI on that character creator is pretty awesome. It looks extremely clean and yet manages to get across more or less everything you need to know.

It's not an issue at all for the programmers, the code would be able to handle it without a problem; it's just a matter of not having enough artist manpower to create, texture, rig and animate that many unique models, at that level of detail.

At least we'll know all the bugs will be worked out.

[Loaar]

The clothing the gathering classes were wearing looks like the gear has been updated a bit as well. It looks far better than the starter gear we get in alpha right now.

[Zumi]

Pretty nice looks like they came a long ways since alpha with that character creator.

But, only 8 hair styles though hoping there would be more so I wouldn't be running in to my clone with just different color hair.

[Vydos]

I saw the movie before heading to work and I loved how the new character creator looks. Although I also wish there were more hairstyles. I'm amazed at the number of colors so that's good. And it's awesome that you can add every feature on the face. When I first saw the selection buttons, I was like "Oh crap! Only one thing we can add" But then she began clicking them all on!

On another note. Was there an iris type, eye color option? I'm at work now so I can't rewatch the movie from here but I don't remember seeying one

Part of this was due to the fact that you had to confirm to preview it. And every time you wanted to check the next one, you started from the beginning anyways. On top of all the lag...

[Sargas]

The guy was definitely doing a really bad Solid Snake impression. Regardless, it looks like things are progressing nicely. They definitely need more hairstyles, but there is still time for that at least.

There was an option for larger or smaller iris, and I checked again and there was definitely an eye color option, but it looked like it was unavailable for now (or at least in that preview).

[Draylo]

Wtf its blocked now? >.> Just watched it and go back to watch it again and it says its blocked.

[Gokulo]

Rotfl? :D
Early leak mistake or wut?

[Zumi]

Looks like SE deleted their own video, maybe it was suppose to be put up for E3 or something.
