Need options for rugged character models

Would like to see some character model options for some rugged types (i.e., scars, weather-beaten faces, etc...). Too many of the character models look like manicured metrosexuals who have just left their afternoon appointment for a Brazialian wax.
Give us some rough Conan-like types, at least as options. I want to see and make warriors that look like the 2 A.M. crowd at Denny's.
Also, would not mind some Eastern models to choose from. Since FF XIV comes from the East and appears to have that feel, would be cool to make an Asian character.
I hope they give us options.

I see what you're saying in how the rugged look can enhance a character (especially when they are suppose to be a brutal warrior). But going with the lore of the FF genre, to add it now would seem kind of like it was just thrown in for no rhyme or reason. I do hope there are some ways to add that extra character customization, because we all know FFXI was lacking in that dept. For example, I think it would be very cool to not have the old small, medium, or large body types. Rather we can adjust the size of the arms, legs, torso, butt, etc. I know I want to make a Roegadyn, so the ability to really customize the extremities would be awesome in my opinion. Also, perhaps a color palette could be used for the hair models, and also maybe the Oblivion facial customization would be a great addition. Obviously this is a lot to ask for, but hopefully SE can figure out a way to let us make our characters in a way that we feel are our own, and not a recycled look.
I disagree with the singular portion above me, written; "to add it now would seem kind of like it was just thrown in for no rhyme or reason." These characters experience several trials and tribulations impossible to the NPC's who are deemed as citizens and normal townspeople, start out as nothings and become legends. It's understandable that somewhere down the line they'd incur a scar or two, or twenty. Like every time you die without being resurrected.
Also, I don't really thing you should have a choice in what size your limbs are, people should stay proportionate at least. Just what your frame is. Not just small, medium, and large, but also in weight. I'd also like them to add gradients of muscle definition, age, complexion, hair color, eye color, etc. and maybe facial expression...
The EVE : Online facial customization tool is THE best I've seen in ANY game EVAR.

Don't count on in it. All FF games are like that, not just the MMOs. Just pick a tougher race like former Galka or something.
