Ok let me break this down right now between all the end fighting and one of the more notorious things the fandom is known for the LAST thing I think we need is an official way to create original characters much less the ammo to do so. I'm not against the idea at all (hell I have my own OC Jack) but the thing I found interesting is when I looked through the comments section and found a lot of people bitching at other people bitching (that's what Youtube is now an inception of complainers complaining at complainers who are indeed complaining about something) that Shadow or Knuckles aren't playable and clearly from the silhouette it will be a character that is new to the game (Not fucking Bubsy). I'm not sure if I said this before but I kind of knew eventually they'll get to the point where players will be able to create their very own character and again due to this kind of fandom people are already trying to say their should be no more complaining now that Sega is catering to the fans more by letting you create your very own character.

I love it how people still have this surface view of the Sonic fandom and ignore the critical side just for lumping it into the stereotypical complainer and whiny side of the fandom everyone loves bashing on an creating lolcows out of. Then at that point things go down hill because again legit criticism is washed away with the rest and no one can get a word in making everything seem bias and two sided when there is find-able middle ground. I actually think this might be a good and bad thing and here I'll explain why. It is a good thing because maybe Sega will see the feedback (if positive enough) and think to themselves that maybe people like projecting a little bit of themselves into these games. Having their own characters running around interacting with the main cast and going on adventures stopping bad guys would be a unique experience to the series. We might be just a little closer to the idea of a Sonic MMO having you make a character and be a character in the Sonic universe traversing levels and such earning skill points and abilities. If this works and they don't just half ass it I feel it can be something good for newer games and the potential Sonic needs might return little by little.

The bad of this is basically what I said in the last sentence......if they half ass or lazily implement the system. I'm sure we've all played games with a create a character system and probably thought they shouldn't have bothered because the expansive nature of those system was nowhere to be seen. This is a fear people need to keep somewhere in the mind as it can go really bad if people don't find the customization enjoyable or intrusive. Gamers love having freedom and connected to a world or character and the literal easiest way to do that is to allow them freedom to create their own character. My next bad thing (if possible) is letting us create a character we barely do anything with as if they can only be selectable for a few levels or we just scramble back and forth between the 3 characters like in SA2. My thing is if you're going to do this you have to make each character selectable or make it to where they're doing their own thing this way people can experiment with the character they've made themselves. Lastly I hope gadgets are unique and not just power ups you pick up on stages. I'd love it if I can create my own loadouts so I can experiment inside levels and see what my play style truly is in terms of mobility or combat.
