Multiple characters... why?

[Alhanelem]

This is a question i wish a representative of SE to answers me, are developers planing onto some sort of benefit or not even a benefit but give us something we can use as a "reason" to have more than 1 character?

Why do you want an incentive to create more than one character? Why do you think you deserve an incentive? It's just an option there for those that want it.

As it is, right now there are two main reasons:

1) To experience the other two cities' versions of the early Main Scenario quests, and to check out the other grand companies.
2) More storage, more storage, more storage.

Finally, more unscrupulous people might want more than one character so they have somewhere else to go when they screw up their reputation on one character.

Actually I'd be really nice if we could create alts that we can have join us in combat/crafting...
(more like a normal FF using the Gambit system from XII? (which i actually think would be great for the choco's too)
They could be specific things/classes/hybrids/jobs that our mains cant.

You could also have them live in our house/Company house, Offer quests related to out home city/GC have jobs that can collect some resources (which is how you level some aspect of them up based on success).

Then also have them playable maybe have some limits on them. 3 classes 1 job?
Maybe have them available for mini games?
(this is based on the idea of on the same server, each server would need to be independent)

Giving us long as hard quest (not one like the ruddy AF weapons, that's actually fun and interesting).

I like having multiple characters but considering how 1 character can become every job it does take a little bit out of it. So I think SE should consider adding some small benefits to having multiple characters. One thing I've always wanted is to have all of my characters hang out in one Mog House.

Heh, that'd be interesting, if you could seamlessly change between characters by talking to them inside your mog house.

That sounds a lot like TOR's companion system but centered on alts. Would be interesting.

I'd like to be able to use my alts as aesthetic-only pets and mounts. ^.^

I would love to be able to send my alts down to work at the chocobo stables for spme extra gil. Miquote prostitution would probably be a major hit with the community here as well.

If I even hear that you treated one of my kitties badly, I'll scratch your eyes out to the point you'll beg for a quick death!!!
