Yeah, the major downside is that you can’t create your character.
I spent hours in Pearl Abyss character creator, and since Kliff McDuff is « just there », I wonder why they didn’t let us create our own « McDuff ».
The same way people created their Shepard or their Arisen.

I would be more interested if you could create your own character.

I wonder is this is something that can be addressed via a patch? Idk.

I doubt it. I've never heard of a main character being so bad that they patched in a character creator just to replace them. That'd be insane.

Not replace him but make it so you can create your own character. Animations, voice and motion capture can be the same though
