Race change options are coming?

[RagingAvatar]

Did anyone see this (and the many other cool things) coming in the Freshly Picked Vana’diel show on YouTube?

Personally, I’m not sure I’ll do it but I’m excited that such a big change is coming to the game! It’s encouraging that developers are still working super hard on this game after 22 years!

I need to watch the show myself (I got some notes from Reddit) but man, I’m hyped!

Long live Vana’diel!

I have no interest personally in using a race change feature. However, it is exciting news to see new QOL and features being added.
An obvious combination with something like this would offer a name change service as well.

There was a lot of interesting QOL in this stream, I hope it all will become implemented, but we have to wait for an official announcement I guess.

So much for dead game that some in the community been saying for months.

This is very good news indeed.

And another way for them to make money, they should have done it years a go! Better late than never.

Hopefully they add a Name Change feature too.

Don't make this free, I would much rather pay a fee. If it's free you know they will either make it one single time use, or lock it behind some annoying content wall.

also consider adding new color variations of the head models that people can pick, there is no reason to not add new hair color variations now ps2 support has been dropped.

I would love to change my hair/head model! ...because I don't want to be bald anymore! ; ;

This is very promising.

Especially if they deliver.

Because of this news, I have a sliver of hope that not only SE is listening, but also stills cares about their games, fans, and legacy.

If they do bring in “Fantasias” and the other changes mentioned, I will be more than glad to stay subbed to FFXI, and consider looking into their other games again.

Thank you Square-Enix.

It's long past due date, I can understand that in the early days reputation means everything, it took the best part of a year to level to 75, your rank was judged...

But not now, you can get to 99 in no time, reputation can be built and lost in days, no need to stop the playerbase from changing races

[Alhanelem]

wait really? they actually announced this? color me shocked. lol

For those of us who don't understand Japanese can you link the timestamp where this was shown?
Also was there anything else interesting mentioned aside from vanabout and ambu details we already know about?

wait really? they actually announced this? color me shocked. lol
