Of course, a part of me wishes they had just gone with a color picker that would also allow you to tweak the saturation, some colour presets would be neat too. You couldn’t really pick any vibrant colours, really limiting what you could do with hair. Seems like the colour pickers are similar to the ones we saw in PSP2, which is good because the colour picker in PSU was terrible (seriously the PSO one was better, with its RGB sliders). There is a slider for overall bodyshape much like there was in PSU, but you can go further now and tweak the size length and shapes of bodyparts (like legs, arms, boobs on female characters, ears on Newmans), much like you could in AION. I guess you could have a joystick-controlled pointer maybe, that’s the only way I can imagine a port could happen without having to completely redo the UI. I like this a lot, I just can’t imagine something like it on a console. Next are the aforementioned “diamond editors”, diamond shaped wire boxes coupled with a graphic of the bodypart which give a nice indication of not only what they change but how the shape will change when you click and drag the points. I’m not entirely sure what they do, but I assume this means you can change what is influenced on the graph. The face morpher from PSU is back, but this time there are drop down menus on all four sides.
Having presets helps with this to give everyone templates to work with as well as giving people a means to skip the tweaking entirely if they want to. Heck, even if you do know what you’re doing it’s nice to start from a template which is at least somewhat like how you envision your character. They don’t all know what looks good, what looks bad. This is a good feature, in particular for more complicated character creators, simply because not all players are artists. Seems you can select through pre-sets (Base Type) for head and bodyshape before you decide to go in and tweak them further. This does not bode well for anyone still wishing for a console release. Of particular note are the click and drag diamond shapes which alter the shapes of their indicated bodyparts. One thing to immediately note in this video is the interface is clearly designed for PC.
