I'd like to see new "templates" for hero customization, as in, instead of the "base template" we have and just adding in different pieces of armor, basically a "new version" with different tastes and apparel.
For example, I've long been a fan of 10th~12th century armor, before full plates were made common on the field. So naturally my tastes are more aligned with anything that is chainmail, scale, lamellar/brigandine and etc etc... so as an alternative for the current knight faction's 14th~15th century full plate style, I'd like to see...
11~12th century chainmail and tabards, would especially work better with current patterns
13th century transitional armor, coat-of-plates
So basically, like how in other fighting games there's "2P colors" or "alternate outfits", I'd like to see each factions have alternate "template" of different armor styles with different armor pieces.
For the viking faction, since many, many people have complained the totally fantasy nature of viking armor in FH, and "alternate template" of actual, historical viking armor would be a good starting point...
Saxon-style armor
Viking armor
...for the Samurai, I honestly don't know a whole lot about Samurai armor... aside from the 15~16th century Sengoku-era stuff... maybe go out on a limb and actually offer a light or non-armored looks...?
This would be a bad-arse nobush alternate template

I would like to see some of these styles implemented. The knight style looks pretty similar to what they've got for some characters (well, except for that mostly chain mail picture but lets be honest... That guy looks ridiculous, hahaha) but the metal on the vikings and the very little armour on the samurai would be good additions.
I still think I'd prefer to see crossover outfits though. Vikings that defected to knights wearing knight tabards and knight-esq metal plates. Not necessarily full knight gear, making the raider look like lawbringer or something. Just some mix ups on their character styles incorporating other faction's signature pieces. Perhaps not even crisp 'part of the ranks' deserter uniforms. They could just have bits of plate mail and samurai wooden armour strapped on as thought they'd looted it from their battles.
