I know i'm excited for that game. Its a JRPG with actual character creation. Thats pretty progressive for the Japanese.

It has always existed, but it was scarcely used. Latest example is White Knight Chronicles.

Oh yeah i forgot how you could change the hair style of Cloud in FFVII, and how you could change the clothes of Sora in Kingdom Hearts .

 

Must have slipped my mind.

Not to derail the thread, but memory2Zack was right.  DQ definitely isn't the first -- I could name a few others.  WKC has possibly the most insane character customation ever, even by western standards.  This kind in-depth visual customization got a big boost from MMORPGs, I think.  So it makes sense it's been catching on in Japan as well, though not in a lot of games.

DQIX's customization looks cool to me because it's the first cartoony character customizer I've seen, and it's in the Dragon Quest style... and it just looks great.
