My final batch of characters (made for fun, open for grabs):
If someone likes some of my designs I can share it.

I have a really low-level legacy character on Sargatanas, but I barely played it.
So I'll probably make a new one on Ultros too.

Of those three, I think the right one is my favorite. But they are all pretty good, so you can't really go wrong.
I really wish they would let 1.0 characters go ahead and change their appearance/race/etc during phase 4. Would be a good time to test it to make sure it's gonna work anyways I'd imagine...

I'm pretty surprised at all the Roe love on GAF. The big races are usually the most unpopular races in the FF games, lol. I mean, even if I'm not a big fan of them, I think it's great some of you plan on making one. It would be so boring if everyone was a cat man/woman and lalafell.
GAF likes big boobs

Those were made for fun, since I didn't touched those races in the character creator, so if someone want them, all theirs. But I think I had enough fun with the benchmark, phase 4 can't come soon enough.

The one on the right looks similar to what I used in the beta, but with red.
I had blue hair with light blue highlights on the one I made.
Thanks for the heads up. Saved $6. Not much, but better than nothing.

I'm right there with you. I just wish I was playing already.

SMTIV is just sitting there, waiting for me to NOT WANT TO PLAY FF and it's not happening.

I keep telling myself I'm going to start into Bioshock Infinite today, then I fire up the character creator and mess around and then I lose all motivation. This had been happening for a week now.
The last two days, I have "played" the CCBench more than anything else.
And if not that, I keep thinking about which crafting classes I want to focus on with each of my characters.

Yeah. I figured I'll try another MMO. So I fired up Guild Wars 2. Played for about 15 minutes and just gave up. Then when to FTL next. That lasted one sector and I was done. Though I have been watching a lot of Valentina Lisitsa videos. So enjoyable to watch her play the piano and it sounds so good. But that lasts for like an hour then I'm back to "Now what?". Ugh, what a blah weekend.

Only Reddit and the RPers are going to Gilgamesh. We're all still headed for Ultros.
Apparently the LGBT community are headed for Gilgamesh too, I'm almost morbidly curious to see how Reddit and the RPers and the LGBT people get along. Sounds like it could be a hilarious train wreck in the making.
God damn my Roe has charm
We can make one character per server with the cheapest sub, right?

I know that feel. Watched the End of an Era trailer again yesterday. Whooo boy!

Where do you see a lot of people are going there?

I believe so. You can have up to 8 characters but not on the same server with the cheapest sub. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though. And very nice Roe by the way. I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm glad they have become more popular with GAF all of a sudden.

Is like Fiona turned into an ogre and then turned into a Roe.
Good job, certainly has charm althought it's probably one of the worst faces to work with lol
I think it looks good when you mess with it a bit!

Ah I see. I doubt that really means much. It's only 14k votes after all.Server status from last phase showed pretty much all servers even across the board. I remember with gw2 some servers were meant to be super populated then when people had to sit in queue they moved to a different server lol.

I hope the final game has more elaborate body/face sliders, so that the game doesn't fall into the Asian MMO curse of all females looking like 16-25 yo Japanese/Korean chicks

We don't know yet, with luck in a few days (5 days or so)
Seems so far away. I'm watching yogcast Kim's videos on YouTube. Love her voice. Any video channels better than hers?

Hellsguard female:
She has a scar over her right eye, which in turn is why she has no sight from her right eye.
i really like how she looks, but she ain't got no booty!
That is a fairly clever use of the Heterochromia, and really the only good one I've seen so far.

Yes but for God's sakes don't go to the server that has Reddit on it!

Looks good, I like that you gave her an interesting characteristic.
I am happy with the current character customization options. If you add in too many sliders you practically need to be a professional 3D modeler to make a character that looks half-way decent. I am not fond of the customization in games like Dragon's Dogma or Mass Effect. Something like FFXIV's current system works fine for me.

i just know you'll all shine with envy when you'll see my benchmark score :
So yeah i'll keep playing on ps3 ... thankfully i don't have problem with the character create so i can already start making my phase 4 character.
Afterwards i lowered the setting and gained 2 fps !

No way Dragon's Dogma has the best character creator of all time! It's not hard at all to make a character look the way you want. Ugly, beautiful, tall, short, fat, slim, muscular, smooth, whatever Dragon's Dogma had it all.
Mass Effect does suck, though.

I just went with default Shepard. I am a bit sad I didn't go the Fem-Shep way but ah well.

Finally ran the benchmark. I'm like 5.5k on high and 10.5k on standard. Guess I'm playing on standard for now.
The poll indeed, and the old spreadsheet as well.
Anyway, I ran the benchmark on my laptop and scored 6859 with the High Laptop settings
Only thing that bugs me is my CPU is @ 83 degrees Celsius and my GPU is @ 90 degrees Celsius.
Go back to your stupid cat girls.What? Why?
Why are people prioritizing those numbers over their the graphical settings? What do those numbers even mean? I presumed it was a measure of frame-rate, but do people really prefer to turn off shadows, reduce texture quality, and such in order to boost their frame-rate from 60+ to over 120+ or something?
I can only get 2700 on Standard Laptop settings. I've been testing to see what effects I can salvage while keeping my score over 2000 (the listed "standard" score). The game doesn't look that great at Standard settings. I have no idea why someone would put up with it if they can get better and still have a score that high.
