Face Customization Options

Before you start, you’ll choose one of 12 base templates. Once you set the baseline, it’s time to get into the details.

The face has one of the largest choice sets, as you can spend a lot of time looking at your mug during cutscenes and as you travel the world. There are:

  • 24 Face Types: Base templates to build your character.
  • 12 Face Shapes: Edit face details, including the chin, cheekbones, forehead, eye, and nose distances, and other changes.

There are also dozens and dozens of hair choices, and while you can’t go quite as wild as with your face, if regular hair isn’t your bag, there are plenty of cotton candy options.

The final few details are less granular but are still important.

  • 3 Undergarment Styles.
  • 20 voices: 10 masculine, 10 feminine. 
  • 6 “personalities”: These determine some of your character’s emotions and how they appear on the status screen.

Equipment Options

How to Remove Your Helmet

You’ll spend a lot of time upgrading your gear in Wild Hearts at the blacksmith, but these two options help keep your face visible. You can edit whether your headgear and color are visible on this screen.

To remove your helmet, go into the Details tab -> Equipment -> Hide Headgear -> Choose Enabled. 

Those are all of the character customization options in Wild Hearts. Once you’re satisfied with your character, you can finalize everything and start the game. If you want to change your appearance, you’ll need to unlock the Looking Glass Dragon Karakuri, available after only a few hours of play. For more Wild Hearts content, check out our guides hub.
