[Suggestion] Paid Race Change Program.

[Mirage]

Hello once more guys !
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people who have...and also those who haven not supported my topic---our topic.
Not to mention how glad I am to notice that many more answers are flowing down the discussion.
Seeing that after one year and some necroposting, this was finally labeled a relevant thread to Square Enix Reps, makes me happy and I can tell that it's making everyone rejoice as well.

We finally brought this where we wanted !

Thank you guys, you rock !

Moral of the story:
Necrobumb all the threads!

This is great news! I too hope they are seriously considering this. I need a tail.

Praise the lord...

It's mearly a stock responce to playcate people until they forget about it.

I will never forget.

It's merely a stock response to placate people until they forget about it.

You may be right. Even though they said they'd forward it for consideration, I don't think we should let up the pressure. Keep expressing happiness that they're looking into it. Keep the reasons coming as to why we want it. Keep saying that we hope that it's added. Don't allow it to seem as though we've forgotten about it. We only got past the starting line. We still have a goal to reach!

Unneccesary feature in my opinion nor do i think SE will implent it.
If they wanted to they would have done it already.
If u want another race, u can start another char and experience the game that way
but changing gender like in WoW from one moment to the next, i dont like that idea to be serious.
I like FFXI for being a very story given and atmospheric game not for being able to let u do such weird stuff as a race change, imagine everyone doing that, no thanks.
There are more than enough people out there doing just that, starting another char and i think it's an awesome experience to play "again" as another race, if u not up for that u probably don't need a race change either.

Why imagine everyone doing it, when that is an unrealistic outcome of the implementation of such a feature?

And in comes Ceinwyn with the c-c-c-combo breaker to put an end to the streak of positive posts.

It's not like every single person will magically become a new race overnight, nor do I think they'd even let us do it enough to abuse it. It's something that make more money for SE and make people happy.

Just start over? Some people have been playing since the game was released, and over time may have taken a liking to a different race that they wish they had chosen. Anyone who thinks that you can "just start over" and have it not be an issue probably has never really accomplished much in game.

[Ceinwyn]

Point is a lot of people would it and i dont like that idea like i just said.

How many people do you actually know that would use the feature? I mean I'm sure there would be like a couple, but this leads to my next question: Why wouldn't you let your friends change race if they wanted? Isn't it a bit selfish of you to tell them that they should stay the race you want them to be, rather than them being able to switch to what they enjoy the most?

Most race changers would be people you didn't know, do you really think you would notice a significant difference? Do you actually remember the names, races and genders of your your 3 last pickup groups?

I sure don't.
