The way XCX does it is so fucking weird.
So there are a finite amount of set faces, and each face has a finite amount of hairstyles tied to them, many exclusively so. I think there are like 65 hairstyles or something, with each face having access to only like 11 each. The faces cannot be structurally edited at all. You can't change eye shape, lip size, nose, or anything. Everyone can have any color skin, though. The guy on the left looks fine, but he doesn't look black - he looks either very tan or at most middle eastern. Which is fine if you're really tan or middle eastern, but is absolutely infuriating if you're black, because that is literally the closest I can come to making my character look like me. I can deal with the anime eyes. That's just an artifact of the art style. This other stuff is not.
