I'm always in favor of getting to see as much of CoT as possible. But I'd have to think that the "pet customization" features of CoT are basically just going to be based on some kind of subset of the player character generator. In other words the more we see of the basic character creator the more of an idea of what might be possible for pet customization as well. I doubt the final GUIs for each of these things will be radically different.

We've already been told that customizable pets in CoT are likely [b]not[/b] going to be as completely "customizable" as player characters will be. It's going be hard enough to transmit player costume data across the network without lag issues - imagine if each player's multiple pets were all as completely unique costume-wise as the character themselves. The message traffic to express all that to every other player in the vicinity would be enormous.

Customizable pets will likely have a subset of options in CoT; perhaps color choices and a few generic hardwired costume options at best. I simply would not expect to be able to make every pet look as unique as a player character. Frankly if CoT manages to provide -any- amount of pet customization (even if it's minimal) it'll be better than the "no customization" we had in CoH.
