The problem is the lack of good Miqo'te hairstyles. I don't know what Squenix was thinking at all there.

If I was confident there was going to be a way to remove, and/or change it later in the game, I would. Since there hasn't been any word about that sort of thing, I'm inclined to stick towards subtler features, that I'm less likely to actually tire of.
I dunno, I thought Y'shtola's hair style and the last couple of styles are pretty great. The standard one is just a good mix of badass and feminine, it's no wonder it's popular.
Really? I think that Miqo'tes have the best variety of good looking styles.

Holy shit lolHere's mine for phase 4.
I am, but I'm scared of the male miqote backlash
Messing around with the character creator reminded me of the biggest issue I have with the game's graphics: the gear clipping.
My male Roe's hands/arms clip through just about every piece of gear. I hope it gets fixed with the Dx11 update but I think it has more to do with gear not being modeled individually for each race. Its probably a memory limitation, so this may be another one of those PS3 sacrifices we have to live with.

There is not one single hair down long hairstyle for Miqo'te.

Beautiful.
You need to watch this my friend.

Basically, imagine Fist characters as Lalafells and there you go. =)
Ayep, rocking the male Miqo'te. Might make a few more little alternations before the next phase though, I'm not sure I've exhausted every little setting.
You do touch on an excellent point though. There's a reason why I'm never going to walk up to another character and say, "Hey babeh!," in an MMO.
I mean a reason beyond the sheer tackiness of the phrase.
My worry as well, but I think it might be one of the few features that'll make you stand out.

Pretty fond of the more rugged Manthra face. The sad part is i kind of settled with it.
None of Midlander faces look like me,
None of the Highlander hair looks good on a higlander
Elves are way too skinny
Galka also don't look like me.
So Lion-o it is :/
Another small concern there, is that Sunseekers are "supposed," to shun face paint, since thats a Mooncat thing. Presumably facial tattoos are different, though I saw so many Miqo'te with tiger stripe facial tattoo's, that it may be more distinctive not to have them.
Face paint is supposed to be a beauty salon thing, I'm pretty sure there's been a word on it on the Beta Forums. Tattoos on the other hand might be permanent though, as they're 'embedded' in your character model if that makes sense.
Edit: here's the official word on tattoos:
Hmm, might experiment with that later. Though I'd prefer to just add some more facial scarring. I actually bothered to add that to the mind-canon of my characters back-story, so more would make sense.
You're not going to play on Sargatans, right? Because that's just how my female Roegadyn would look like, already had that look in the beta.
Anyway, some region/header images from the benchmark dats: http://imgur.com/a/T3tn5
My shitty college laptop putting some work in.
It's all on low
Got a PS3? Heh.
Much better.
Max settings at 1080p, but with AO turned off - avg fps: 155
I'm still torn on which race to pick, i used to be a Taru in FFXI and played one in 1.0...
Why would you bother turning off AO, when you have THAT much horsepower to burn!?
The one I'll play? Fuck if I know. lol Probably Male Roegadyn. =) If I were to play a Lalafell though, it would be Raoh...but that Yuria is adorable...
.....why am I reminded of a porcelain doll collection?
+1 vote for Yuria.

Here's mine for phase 4.
Would main in a heartbeat
I do. The PS3 version runs at 30 FPS, yeah?
My laptop was getting 60 in the dungeons in phase 3. I'll take that. Plus it's easier to talk to my friends this way.

Oh man, swapped to full screen and my score went from 2700(fairly high) to 6900! (Very high). 500 Dollar shelf loptop ftw.
Though, annoyingly they still haven't fixed the terrible nose texture for the hellsguard.
So that's why every Roe I make looks like shit! Bleh.
Thank you for mentioning that.

I'm prolly rolling Hyur Midlander because they have the best hairstyle selection, and the inevitable barbershop stuff.
Lalafell is tempting but they're so tiny....
Roe is ultra-unique since nobody else will pick them.
Poll results from a month back.

Are you sure you saved a character data? Was an option in the character creation last phase that you just may not have picked.
I suppose I should try seeing how my crappy $320 integrated graphics laptop performs.

Pretty satisfied with the actual result. Can't wait to try again with my new rig.
Is it me or they lowered down the textures, I remember when you zoomed ingame (beta) they weren't hirez textures, wondering if they are doing that for the DX11 update. Don't get me wrong it's beautiful, but just surprised by the change.
Will fool around with the character creation this weekend^^

Urgh, no I didn't ...... fuck now my original Roegadyn design from 1.x is probably gone :s.
Nope. We just know it'll be at least two weeks before the 27th so the preorders get early time in the week before launch.
August 27th.
All going well, characters created from August 4th phase are permanent, then there's early access for pre-orders after that, then launch.
That wouldn't make much sense. Would kind of defeat the point of early access.
Phase 4 isn't long. There will be a break. Then you can continue that character's progress in either early access or launch. Makes sense to me.
I know it's pointless to try to make a unique Male Miqote, but I'm trying... =/

Not that big of a difference. Either way they've really optimized this game by the looks of it. Which makes it that much more exciting for DX11 when they get that out. I do wonder if we'll get a 64bit client out of it as well.
Now for some creation time!

Are you all using fraps to post your toons? I made both a sexy male and a sexy female Hells Ro, i'll probably be going with the male though.
Customized high settings got me ~7700, I'll live with that, comp's going on 3 years old and I paid less than a grand for it. If the framerate is bad on high it should be smooth on medium settings at least.
