I feel that character designs are pretty terrible, especially in the face department. I think overhaul down the road would be great.
That being said we have Japanese voice. I think it's great that they added another language and would love to see other foreign languages such as French, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese, Middle Eastern, etc. If we want to be really crazy we can add aliens such as Martians, Lunarians, etc with made up alien voiceovers.
Costumes in relation to different cultural backgrounds would be fun too. Ninjas are probably one of the first things that come up in the minds of many player base. It would be funny to see ninjas running around running the ship and fixing stuff.

They're not real ninjas if one can see them.

To answer your questions 1) How often do you actually look at the face of your avatar, or the face of other peoples avatars? I don't really at all to be honest. 2) The Japanese voice command option, is because there is a decent Japanese player base for the game. So unless there is a sizable demographic that plays the game, and speaks another language, I doubt it. 3) Aliens? Really? Doesn't quite fit with the established lore very well, and would in all likelihood cause an uproar among a good number of the players if Muse tried. 4)Ninja's are a maybe, there is a gunner outfit that has a samuraiish look to it. But there's a better chance someone in the workshop will make something like that, rather than Muse.

There's a workshop for creating custom art, items, and voices.

I actually do look at the face of my avatar as well as others time to time, mostly to see what unlocks are available and how my avatar fare in comparison aesthetically. Regardless I knew that most people don't look at the faces of other avatars, but this is also true for many games and yet, people spend obscene amount of time customizing their avatars. I think it'd be a fun novelty to be able to customize the avatars in a more in-depth fashion. Plus in its current form avatars are quite ugly even at distance.
It wouldn't be too difficult to add more voice overs and it may attract more players for very little effort. Existing player base would certainly try non-native languages for fun.
Aliens are far out and yes it does contradict established lore. But not everyone cares, myself including. I myself prefer a bit of lighthearted humor and amusements.

I often have my avatar using a mask, so the actual face means next to nothing for me. For voice overs in other languages, I was referring to Muse making them. Workshop is fair play, though whether or not Muse would approve the item, I don't know. As for the aliens, much of this game is built on the lore, and many long established players would consider it akin to a slap in the face (That is my assumption at any rate. I admit I may be wrong.)

Well, I'm just making suggestions of my own. Personally I found the ideas interesting and whether or not it's a slap in the face to established players don't really matter to me. What matters is that I'm adding to a pool of ideas and possibly enhance the game from its current form. Aliens.
-
I would consider it a detraction from the game. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I personally do not like the idea.
-
Well... let's be honest here. There is a difference between adding to the pool of ideas, and simply peeing in the pool to add some color. Aliens.

Someone get the meme of the ancient aliens guy in here.

I have yet to see any actually japanese players.
plus I set my server choices to any/all.
havent even seen any in the community hub on steam nor in the forums for that matter.
-
I've met one. Take into account though, the time differences.
-
I have a couple of Japanese friends here on GoIo and one Japanese speaker who found the Japanese voice overs funny due to the translation of the voice commands. :)

There we go.

My biggest issue addressed was character design. They are terrible! Aliens were added as an afterthought as a "crazy idea" and someone here got pretty serious about it lol. Anyway I keep my characters in a mask as well, especially females. Otherwise I'd be sporting female avatars with chins pointy enough to initiate a duel in a sword fight.
-
Sarcasm, particularly in text form, tends to go past my head. I thought you were legitimately serious about that.
-
He did ask for a UFO ship theme in another thread. Pretty sure it was a serious afterthought.
Also, it is a matter of preference. I like the character design, though would not mind some more variety. Which is something they have on the back burner. I am impressed with the versatility of the existing faces with various textures. That is hard to pull off without changing the base mesh.

Oh I was semi-serious about it. That's why I added "crazy" before introducing the idea. I knew it was an outlandish idea but thought it was amusing.
As for the UFO thread I created, THAT one was a joke. LOL.
